A Complex World, Simplified

A Complex World, Simplified

22 Apr, 2026

Owning a high value asset is one of life’s great privileges; an aircraft (or time machine as we call them) can open the world up, a superyacht can create unforgettable moments with family and friends. These assets represent success, freedom and possibility. But behind their beauty is a world of rules, taxes, customs processes and legal frameworks that must be followed with absolute precision.

That is where Martyn Fiddler comes in.

We do three things really well:

  1. We are a Corporate Service Provider (CSP); experts in establishing and maintaining compliant companies and trusts.
  2. We provide EU & UK tax and VAT advice.
  3. We provide customs support covering; law, logistics and aircraft operations.

Our areas of expertise include:

  • High value asset ownership: bespoke solutions; legal, management and corporate governance; and accounting.
  • Taxation: UK and EU VAT advice; formal tax opinions; and customs duties guidance.
  • Customs: EU import and export solutions; inward processing; and customs warehousing.

Simply put, we support clients by forming companies to own aircraft or superyachts in a way that is tax efficient, compliant and fully aligned to what they want to achieve. The work beneath the surface may be complex, but the experience for our clients should always feel simple.

Because when one detail fails, everything fails. Our role is to make sure that never happens.

Imagine you’re buying a house. You would never sign the papers without a lawyer or a surveyor. You want someone who has seen every twist and knows exactly what to look for. You want peace of mind. You want a guide from the first viewing to the moment the keys are in your hand.

That is what we provide. Guidance from the very first question, ensuring every decision is compliant, robust and right for you.

Why it matters

Owning a high value asset should feel like freedom. The complexity behind it should never touch the client. That complex hidden world is our world. Through our forty years’ experience and knowledge, we carry the weight, so that clients do not have to.
