He is a familiar face within the business community and has extensive experience in supporting businesses with suitable financial solutions, having financed working capital facilities, acquisitions, management buy-outs, international trade and traditional commercial property transactions.
Jim’s appointment sees a new strategic role created within Forrester Boyd. He will be responsible for the strategic planning and development of the business whilst overseeing operations.

I’m keen to support the partners in developing and implementing their strategic plan for the firm to ensure Forrester Boyd remain the leading firm in the area.”
Kevin Hopper, Managing Partner at Forrester Boyd said, “We have worked very closely with Jim for many years. He is a fantastic asset to have on the strategic team at Forrester Boyd. Over the last two years, we have been building the firm and putting in place the structure and resources for future growth. In 2020, we doubled our partnership. We also acquired Graybrowne, an accountancy firm in Hull, providing us with an operational base in the City. The appointment of Jim as Chief Operations Officer will help the partners immensely in developing short and long-term strategic plans and bringing them to fruition, as we continue to evolve our services to meet the changing needs of our clients.”
