  • Mark
    Management

    Mark

    Managing Director

    I started working here in January 2017 when I founded the company. My role involves balancing the needs of the practice with hands-on work with clients. My focus is on ensuring that the business delivers the highest standards and continues to grow. With clients, I typically assist businesses in improving performance, preparing for a sale, or managing succession planning.

    I passed the AAT examinations in 2003 and have 23 years of experience in practice, with over 15 years at a senior level.

    I enjoy being part of an amazing team that has quickly grown into a multi-site accountancy practice. Outside of work, I spend time with my wife and children, watch Liverpool and Scunthorpe United, and occasionally play the guitar, reliving a past life.

  • Sophie
    Admin

    Sophie

    Marketing & Administration Manager

    I started working at JSA on October 5th 2020. Day to day, I manage the admin department across all offices. I also manage every aspect of marketing within the company.

    I have 9 GCSEs and was awarded a D*D in my Level 3 Diploma for Creative Media, along with a D* in Level 3 Business Studies from college. In March 2022, I completed my Level 3 Business Administration qualification and in March 2024 I achieved my Level 4 Marketing Executive qualification. I worked at Primark from September 2019 to September 2021, balancing that job with the first year of my apprenticeship here.

    What I love about working here is the variety in my role and the chance to get involved in different areas of the business. The people I work with and the clients I’ve met make the job even more enjoyable.

    Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy going to pilates and travelling to new places, whether it’s within the UK or abroad.

  • Dave
    IT

    Dave

    IT & Development Senior

    I manage the servers, network, phone system, PCs, and general IT equipment here at JSA. I also develop web apps and create software robots to automate various processes.

    I have over 30 years of programming experience and even more in IT. Before my career in tech, I spent 11 years in the Royal Navy, where I gained experience in a wide range of roles—from being part of a demolition team and boarding party to tracking Russian submarines. I’ve programmed for major financial institutions like JP Morgan, Aviva, and Lloyds Bank, among others.

    What I enjoy about working here is that every day brings something new, keeping me busy and engaged. The flexibility required for my work is something I appreciate, as it allows me to tackle problems when systems are least disruptive. The people I work with are fantastic too.

    Outside of work, I love relaxing with my wife and dogs, traveling around Britain in our caravan. We don’t travel abroad anymore since we won’t leave the dogs in kennels, but maybe one day with a dog sitter. I also enjoy spending time with my seven grandchildren and extended family.

    Andrea

    Administrator · Lincoln

    I started working at Jackson Stapleton on 21st September 2026.

    Bringing many years of admin experience, organisation, and enthusiasm to the team, along with a good sense of humour.

    As I’ve only recently joined the team, I’m still getting to know everyone and learning the role. What has stood out so far is how welcoming and supportive everyone has been. I’ve enjoyed meeting new colleagues, learning new processes, and becoming part of the team.

    Away from work, I love getting outdoors for long walks with my husband and our black Labrador, Fred. Keeping active is important to me, whether that’s through Pilates, gym sessions, or one of my favourite hobbies, ballroom dancing, which I compete in at amateur level with my husband. When I’m not on the dance floor, you’ll often find me following sport, from football and cricket to athletics, golf, and just about anything else that’s on!
