A quick Q&A with Mark Dyson, head of tax at Debenhams
How did you end up in tax?
Completely by accident! I applied for a general finance role but the recruiter who picked up my CV had been asked to supply someone for a vacancy on the Arthur Andersen ET graduate course.

Who in tax do you most admire?
