Josh started his career in engineering, working and studying at one of the UK’s leading automotive manufacturers. During this time, he gained valuable insight into mechanical engineering, physics and mathematics, contextualised in a research and development environment. 

Josh joined Nat and Jack shortly after they founded their R&D tax relief business in 2018 as a Technical Consultant. Leveraging his mechanical and engineering knowledge, Josh rapidly progressed to training, managing and developing a team of 15 R&D tax relief report writers.

Since then, Josh co-founded Apogee to change how things are done in the innovation funding space for the better. He has personally written over 300 Qualifying Activity reports, guided just as many clients in identifying their qualifying expenditure and successfully helped companies defend against HMRC enquiries. He has overseen the successful processing of more than double that number of R&D claims.

Through his startup experience, Josh discovered his talent and interest in strategic business operations and is always looking for ways to make Apogee’s processes more efficient and effective. 

Josh’s main passion is scuba diving (though being based in The Midlands, he doesn’t get to dive as much as he would like). Josh’s other hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, motorcycling, clay pigeon shooting and fitness.
