Peter Cox
Peter started his career in accountancy in 1962 after his parents had talked him out of being a Cruise Liner Purser, a School Teacher or seeking a career on the railways.

He qualified with Chantrey Button, became a Partner there in 1972 and saw that Practice grow to what has now become Chantrey Vellacott.

During his time with his former firm, one of Peter's achievements was his involvement with the financial structures and controls of Watford Football Club in the heady days of the Elton John/Graham Taylor partnership. This even included running the London Marathon in 1989 and raising £3,500 for the Club!

In 1997 Peter decided that he needed fresh challenges and so formed Thomas Cox & Co. Peter is married to Yonna and has three children – Wendy, Gareth and Victoria – all of whom, despite some questionable parenting techniques, seem to have grown up into model citizens.

Sarah Quiggin
Sarah is Peter's PA and tries her best, with varying degrees of success to keep everything ship-shape and under control. Her previous experience includes working as a personal assistant in a merchant bank in the City and as a trainee management accountant in a large shipping company.

Sarah moved into the retail sector some years ago and when not at Thomas Cox divides her time between working as a section manager for the John Lewis Partnership and looking after her family.

Helen Robinson
Helen is our resident tax person, dealing with the bits that Peter hasn’t time for. She has spent more years than she cares to remember completing personal tax returns, having qualified all those years ago with Thomson McLintock in London, and then working for a firm of financial advisors in St Albans.

Helen divides her time between working for Thomas Cox and enjoying herself playing badminton, tennis and getting used to her husband’s retirement.

Victoria Cox
Victoria is our product development co-ordinator and is mainly responsible for promoting Thomas Cox & Co’s services. Her previous experience involves working as an assistant for a Fashion & Hotels PR firm in London and as a teacher of English as a foreign language in South Africa.

She has been working for the NHS for the past few years in administration and has now joined Thomas Cox to look after customer relations and customer management as well as to give her father a really hard time!

Victoria used to have her own horse so the horses in the meadow behind our office now get even more care and attention.
