Obituary: Christopher K Hanson

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we report the recent passing of Chris Hanson. Those of you who attend our residential tax events are very likely to have met or spoken to Chris as he was a frequent attender of these conferences. He was a dedicated tax professional and he was always keen to increase his tax skills and knowledge.

Chris was extremely proud of his Scottish heritage and always lived life to the full. He was known for his love of fine dining and wines.

Chris trained and qualified as a chartered accountant at the Hastings-based firm, Manningtons (previously known as Mannington Bishop & Bryant) and went on to qualify as a member of our Institute in 1978. In 1987, Chris joined Solomon Hare in Bristol as a partner, where he worked with owner-managed businesses and high net worth individuals and opened the firm’s Cirencester office.

He proudly established his own Cirencester-based practice in 2004 called the Hanson Partnership LLP. Chris’s clients always appreciated his practical and first-rate accountancy, tax and business advice and he was highly respected in his local business community.

Chris was devoted to his wife Elaine. She speaks of Chris’s amazing love, vitality, sense of adventure and wonderful support.

We will all really miss his enthusiasm and chirpy personality at our residential conferences. RIP Chris.
