From Brexit to AI, Cowboy Boots and Sushi, we reflect on Dafferns’ first 10 years with AGN International and The end of an era for Martin

Martin Gibbs and Brian Jukes reflect on 10 years of Dafferns Chartered Accountants' membership with AGN International, coinciding with Martin's retirement after 26 years as a partner. How joining an international association of 200 member firms across nearly 100 countries transformed Dafferns and broadened our perspectives.

• From our first AGN conference in Copenhagen back in 2015, which while daunting quickly led to valuable connections
• How Brian and Martin became Brexit thought leaders, presenting at conferences and publishing widely-read blog posts
• How AGN provided critical support and knowledge-sharing during the COVID pandemic
• How we gained early insights into AI adoption and ESG trends through international exposure through AGN
• Travelling to over 35 international events, creating lasting professional relationships worldwide
• Helping clients expand internationally through trusted AGN connections
• Developing future firm leaders through AGN's partner development programs
• and how AGN membership has reinforced Daffens' identity as "authentic, agile and connected" advisors
