Mark Spolander
Director & Founder
After founding Modus Accountants back in 2018 my position is now to lead, manage and motivate the team. Over the last 16+ years, I have gained extensive experience in setting up and operating a number of successful businesses.
With a background in business coaching, I’m 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, with this move being a transition into an accountancy practice.
As a Director of Modus Accountants I am part of the Modus leadership team, and focussed on growing the accounting practice, leading on outsourcing, overseeing client onboarding and the management of the Modus Group accounts.
In my spare time I am a fair-weather West Ham fan, and enjoy and both watching and playing sport, as well as going on dog walks with my little boy Eddie.
Samantha Newport
Director
Fully AAT and CIMA qualified, I have 15+ years’ experience working in finance and accountancy. Having previously worked as a commercial accountant until 2018, I made the move to practice to help set-up Modus Accountants. It’s refreshing working with smaller businesses, supporting them from the beginning and watching as they evolve and grow.
When I’m not working, I enjoy family holidays, bike rides, ice-cream and prosecco.
Jenna Lloyd
Senior Accountant
I have been working in accountancy practices for the last 13+ years and joined Modus back in 2019. After taking a few years out to have a family, since returning to work I am now working towards being fully ACCA Qualified. With only a couple of exams left, the end is in sight, and with the teams support should be fully qualified by the end of 2021.
Outside of the office I enjoy going to the theatre, and in a former life went to drama school and even toured with Take That!
Imran Lokhon
Business & Investment Consultant
As a consultant here at Modus I bring a range of experience and expertise to the team. My experience in coaching, business and property investment being of particular value. I like to think I have a rather unique skillset, and my passion for helping others to achieve their goals is amplified by my many years in local government planning, urban-housing and community work.
Outside of work I love spending time with people – family, friends, clients – and am a naturally gregarious soul who is also a self-confessed geek and gourmand (fancy word for I love to eat).
Andrew Moon
Marketing Manager
With a wide-reaching background in Marketing from; promoting environmentally friendly salad to branding innovation centres, I’ve been fortunate to develop a career that has exposed me to many areas of expertise.
Completing my master’s degree in Business & Management in 2010, I have always looked for roles that allow me to do something new. Joining the Modus team in 2020, and Managing Marketing activity while supporting our clients marketing needs is something I truly love doing. Marketing is forever exciting, with lots of new developments, with every business having their different challenges to overcome.
Outside of work watching the latest films and listening to new release music take up my time, in between looking after our twin girls Etta and Dot.
James Hackney
Accounts Assistant
Following my graduation from Manchester Metropolitan University, I spent four years working in IT Sales. I then made the jump into the Accountancy world in July 2020, joining Modus as an Accounts Assistant and starting to work towards my ACCA qualification.
Outside of work, I like to spend as much time outside as possible. I’m a keen runner – A member of my local club, and have completed four marathons to date. Given our new head office location, I think I’m also going to have to spend some hours on the driving range improving my golf swing!
Adam Arnold
Accounts Administrator
Having grown up in Oxfordshire, I recently returned after a few years in Portsmouth, where I was studying for my Mathematics degree. At Modus I will be helping to get you set-up and on-boarded with us, as well as handling most of the administrative duties that come with working with an accounting firm. The team and I are committed to making sure that your transition to becoming one of our many happy clients is as smooth and easy as possible!
Hannah Baldwin
Business Co-ordinator
Wanting to pursue a career in business administration and client relationships, Modus is a breath of fresh air for me. Having moved from working in the NHS since 2019, I’m looking to take the next step in my career and make an impact on the future of Modus.
Prior to the NHS my career has been incredibly varied, and from a young age I pursued a dream of becoming a professional jockey. I achieved this at the age of sixteen, riding for the East Anglian Riding Team and have the scars and bruises to prove it.
As time moved on, I pursued other careers around horses culminating in the set-up of my own business in 2017 – providing yard services and support for other professional riders. Following that I want on to manage several large racing yards for two professionals racehorse trainers, before becoming a PA in London and joining the NHS.
I’m looking forward to working with our clients and getting to know more about the business over the coming weeks, months and years.
Brooke Rusher

Having completed my A-Levels this year (2021) studying Business, Economics and Geography, I am the youngest member of the Modus team. Joining as an Accounts Assistant this is the first step in my career as I begin working towards my AAT qualification.
Outside of the office I enjoy travelling, going to the gym, walks with my dogs, and spending time with my family and friends.
