We are pleased to announce the appointment of Neil Demuth as our new Chief Financial Officer, effective from 1 November 2025.

Neil succeeds Neil Hampson, who will retire at the end of the year following a distinguished tenure leading the firm’s Finance function and serving as Compliance Officer for Finance and Administration.

Neil joined Burges Salmon in 2022 from Foot Anstey, where he was Executive Director of Finance Operations. Since then, he has led the firm’s Commercial Finance team, driving strategic financial planning, enhancing reporting capabilities, and embedding a culture of active finance business partnering.

A Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA), Neil brings deep expertise in financial leadership and a collaborative approach that has strengthened ties across our firm’s Business Services teams.

“We are immensely grateful to Neil Hampson for his outstanding contribution to Burges Salmon. His leadership has been instrumental in shaping our financial strategy and supporting the firm’s growth. As we look ahead, Neil Demuth is exceptionally well placed to take the reins. His insight, experience and inclusive leadership style will be invaluable as we enter our next strategic cycle.”

Roger Bull, Managing Partner

“It’s an honour to step into the role of Chief Financial Officer at Burges Salmon. I’m proud to follow in Neil Hampson’s footsteps and excited to continue working with colleagues across the firm to deliver financial excellence. By harnessing data, insight and collaboration, we’ll support our clients and people to thrive.”
