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.
