Sophie Spells, group CEO at RCK Partners, commented, “We’re delighted to welcome Rufus to RCK. He is one of the most respected voices in the R&D advisory sector, known for combining deep technical expertise with clear, trusted advice and long-term relationships. Since I have entered the R&D tax advisory market, I’ve followed and respected Rufus’s insight and contribution to the sector and have enjoyed getting to know each other over the last year. His appointment reinforces our commitment to bringing the very best market knowledge and expertise to our clients and we are delighted that he shares our vision for the future.”

RCK Partners is a specialist tax advisory firm focused on R&D tax credits, business rates and capital. As a senior advisor and brand ambassador, Meakin will bring additional industry insight and supports RCK’s focus on providing high-quality advice to companies undertaking R&D.

Over the past 25 years, Meakin has worked with more than 1,000 companies, including over 20 years in the R&D tax credit field covering more than 2,000 R&D Tax Credit and RDEC claims, as well as 250 innovation grant applications. Over that period, Rufus has built a strong reputation for excellence in the field and is widely regarded as one of the leading voices in the UK R&D Tax Credit advisory market.

Combined with Paul Rosser’s recent appointment, Meakin adds further depth to RCK’s layered advisory structure. Rufus authors the industry-leading R&D Tax Credit Insider newsletter, which serves as a regular update to the R&D advisory market and accountants. Resultingly, Rufus has built a loyal following within this domain.

Meakin added, “I’m delighted to be working with RCK Partners. The R&D advisory market is entering a new phase, and I believe there is a real opportunity to support businesses driving the UK’s knowledge-based and innovation-led economy. Having spent many years analysing the sector, I think advisors who genuinely understand how businesses develop new technology will play an increasingly important role. RCK is an ambitious company and has a clear vision on how it will support UK business, and I’m looking forward to working alongside the team at RCK to achieve this.”
