One of the South West’s leading accountancy firms, Milsted Langdon, has been named as a finalist in two categories at the Tolley’s Taxation Awards 2026.

The firm is celebrating being shortlisted for Best Tax Practice in a Regional Firm, while Senior Tax Manager Zoe Chandler has been recognised in the Taxation’s Rising Star category.

This latest recognition builds on a strong track record at the prestigious Tolley’s Taxation Awards, where Milsted Langdon has previously been shortlisted and secured victory in previous years.  

The continued acknowledgement of the firm’s tax expertise highlights its drive for excellence and depth of expertise, while also recognising its significant national reputation within the tax profession.

Over the past year, Milsted Langdon’s tax practice has seen sustained investment in senior talent, expansion of its corporate and international tax offering and the expansion of its complex client work.

The Tolley’s judges were impressed with the firm’s strong, organic growth, while maintaining its focus on long-term client relationships.

Rob Chedzoy, Tax Partner at Milsted Langdon, said: “We are delighted to be named finalists in two categories at this year’s Tolley’s Taxation Awards. To receive this level of recognition once again is a testament to the strength of our tax team and the consistent investment we have made in developing our people and capabilities.”

Zoe Chandler’s shortlisting as a Rising Star is an amazing achievement, particularly given the high number of entries for this category in 2026.

This success reflects her progression and significant contribution to the firm in a short period of time.

Since joining Milsted Langdon in 2023, Zoe has helped to double the size of the Bath tax portfolio and developed specialist expertise in several niche, complex areas, including Stamp Duty Land Tax and international trust advisory.

Alongside her technical work, Zoe has played a key role in mentoring junior staff, strengthening professional relationships and delivering meaningful support to clients, demonstrating her leadership potential and a strong client-focused approach.

“Being recognised in the Best Tax Practice category reflects the collective effort of our team, while Zoe’s shortlisting as a Rising Star highlights the exciting next generation of talent within the firm,” added Rob.

“We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved and remain focused on continuing to deliver high-quality, commercially grounded tax advice to our clients.”
