Mark Spolander

Director & Founder

After founding Modus Accountants in 2018, my position is to lead, manage and motivate the team. Over the last 16+ years, I have gained extensive experience setting up and operating several successful businesses.

With a background in business coaching, I am passionate about helping other entrepreneurs and love working with our clients to achieve their business and personal goals.

In my spare time, I enjoy relaxing with my wife, two sons and daughter. I also enjoy most sports and can often be found on the Frilford Heath golf course, with clients, on sunny afternoons.

Sam Dallimore

Director

A Certified Chartered Accountant, ACCA accredited since 2017, I joined Modus in February 2020 from a background in Finance Management within industry.
As a Director of Modus Accountants, I am part of the Modus leadership team and focused on growing the accountancy practice, leading on outsourcing, overseeing client onboarding, and managing the Modus Group accounts.

In my spare time, I am a fair-weather West Ham fan and at weekends enjoy watching and playing football as well as going on muddy dog walks with my little boy Eddie.

Samantha Newport

Director

Fully AAT and CIMA qualified, I have over 15 years of experience working in finance and accountancy services. Having worked as a commercial accountant until early 2018, I then moved to help set-up Modus Accountants.

Having seen Modus grow from a fledgeling business, it’s refreshing to be able to work with other early-stage and SME business owners, supporting them from the beginning of their journey, and watching as they evolve and grow.

When I’m not working, I love to spend my spare time on family holidays and bike rides, enjoying the odd ice cream, and glass of prosecco.

Jenna Lloyd

Director

I have been working in accountancy practices for over 15 years and joined Modus back in 2019.

After taking a few years out to have a family, I successfully completed my ACCA Qualification in early 2022, and a can now be officially recognised as a Chartered Accountant.

Outside of the office, I enjoy going to the theatre and have a real love of Shakespeare – in a former life I even pursued this as a profession, going to drama school and even touring with Take That!

Christian Hazle

Accounts Assistant

After completing my A-levels, I started at university in 2021. However, after a couple of months I promptly decided, in January 2022, that this wasn’t the path for me. This led me to look for other ways to pursue a career in accountancy.

Wanting to gain a more hands-on experience, I found Modus; who were actively looking for an Accounts Assistant. After an initial interview, and meeting the team, I was offered the position, and haven’t looked back since.

Modus have welcomed me whole-heartedly into the team, and I’m looking forward to starting my ACCA qualification, and taking the steps to become a Chartered Accountant.

Adam Arnold

Accounts Assistant

Having grown up in Oxfordshire, I returned in 2021 after a few years in Portsmouth, where I completed my degree in Mathematics.

Having started at Modus in a part-time role, I am now a full-time member of the team, and focussed on helping set-up and on-board our new clients, as well as handling most of the administrative duties that come with working with an accounting firm.

In addition to this I am also studying to become a qualified accountant and have successfully passed the initial stages of my course.

Brooke Rusher

Accounts Assistant

Having completed my A-Levels in 2021 studying Business, Economics, and Geography, I am currently the youngest member of the Modus team. I am extremely driven and see my role as an Accounts Assistant as the first step in my career as I continue to work towards my AAT qualification.

Outside of the office I love to keep myself busy, and enjoy going to the gym, walks with my dogs, and spending time with my family and friends.

I am also keen to see more of the world and hope to be able to travel more in the future.
