A proud Northerner, Hamish is passionate about the growth of the North West region. Using 30 years of experience from a successful career in business, Hamish focuses on growing people, who grow companies, that grow opportunities for the benefit of our children.

Hamish has operated at board level since qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 1993, initially working for a company that was a member of Vistage. He has extensive experience within high growth, award winning, entrepreneurial and VC backed companies, spanning multiple sectors, including automotive supply chain, house building and leisure. Having helped many rapidly growing companies, one stand-out success was helping a company grow from a turnover of £45m and an operating profit of £4.5m, to a turnover of £191m and operating profits of £37.5m.

As a member of Vistage, Hamish valued its approach and the member development. In 2014, Hamish became a Vistage chair and now runs private advisory groups for CEO’s and Key Executives in the North West region. These provide support, challenge and growth for CEO’s, MD’s and business owners from a wide range of non-competing industries.

In addition to his Vistage members, Hamish works closely with growing businesses as a Non-Executive Director, provides angel investment and coaches key decision makers on a one-to-one basis.

As a passionate and accredited speaker, Hamish gives talks on business finance for private events, business meetings and key Vistage groups across the country.
