Graham Williams – About

I have collected British Guiana postal history for the past 47 years.  I originally became a member of BWISC as a teenager and have mainly been a member ever since. I am an infrequent contributor to the Society's journal but have picked up the pen again recently.

I am currently a Director in a Big 4 accountancy firm although I specialise in International Tax within the M&A team.  I have spent my entire career working for Big 4 accountancy firms.   I am not a qualified accountant but would characterise myself as numerate and accounting literate.

I live in Kent, England.

My other interests and activities include gardening, running, skiing, films and history.
