I'm not surprised that I may get votes both ways. Prior to posting I read through the HMRC website for guidance and was getting confused by what gifts are / are not taxable (hence raising the question on this forum to more knowledgeable people)
If its taxable then its taxable. I'll speak with the HMRC.

Both employers have been made fully aware.

there is no bribery or anything untoward involved. Just a generous client.
I have advised my employer, followed all protocols etc. and they confirmed they are happy for me to keep the gift.
the issue is purely whether or not I am liable for taxation.
I understand your point that having arisen from employment it is likely to be taxable.
