Bio: Whittaker & Co was set up by, ex-WRAC and Royal Signals, Anna Cooperwhite to be specialist accountants to the security industry.

The company grew out of necessity. Anna’s husband John, left the armed forces after an 18 year career, which included service in the Coldstream Guards, the Welsh Guards, 7 Parachute Regiment and in the Gurkha regiment in Brunei.

John started a career as a security contractor in Iraq, and quickly found that the role was well paid; however, none of his colleagues knew what their tax responsibilities were. Anna started to assist John’s colleagues in completing their tax returns, and Whittaker & Co was born!

Whilst John remained working in Iraq for 9 years, Whittaker & Co client base grew from strength to strength as did our reputation for no-nonsense advice and our great customer service. Steph Davies joined Anna to manage clients working abroad and assisting them in being tax free.

Since 2004, Whittaker & Co has now grown in to a team of tax advisors, accountants and account managers.

From conducting gap-analysis and audit, through FREC and FPOS-International training right up to covert critical care teams for high profile individuals, there is always plenty we can add to your own operations. Over the years we have delivered global remote medical support, discrete or covert repatriations and installed on-site medical capabilities for UHNW families, individuals, and organisations. As a Care Quality Commission registered provider, which is absolutely mandatory for professional healthcare delivery in this country, we can offer proactive health checks for protection teams or clients, remote advice anywhere on the planet, on-site assessments at home or hotel and ambulance transport either overtly or covertly. We are also able to provide your organisation with a Clinical Governance Structure. Any organisation deploying FREC3/FPOS-International medics is required to have an appropriate Clinical Governance mechanism. We can provide this for you. Any solo healthcare professional (Paramedic for example) or company offering healthcare services are legally required to be CQC registered. We can assist with this too by providing that umbrella capability. From 2025 Platinum Oak will be providing complete protective services, combining our professional healthcare services with our Close Protection and Security expertise from UK Military, Police and civilian operatives at the highest level. With our senior leadership team comprising former UKSF SMO, former Police Chief Superintendent, active Air Ambulance Consultants and former National Healthcare Infrastructure Directorships, we will be able to offer clients truly comprehensive physical and health security at every level.
