PINWM Committee
Chairman
John Kelly succeeds Keith Simpson as chairman. John, a former president of Birmingham and West Midlands Society of Chartered Accountants and former local chairman of the Association of Business Recovery Professionals, is the regional managing partner in the AIM listed corporate services practice Begbies Traynor.
John originally qualified as a Chartered Accountant in Leicester moving to Birmingham in 1983. He has previously been a partner of Ernst & Young and Kroll before moving to Begbies Traynor in 2004. He is also a member of the Advantage West Midlands Regional Finance Forum and was instrumental in the creation of the MG Advantage Transition Fund which assisted business affected by the MG Rover failure.
John who has a wide network of professional contacts believes the professional community in Birmingham and the West Midlands can compete with London and has more to offer than some of the northern competitors. However, with the exception of Lord Jones of Birmingham (Digby!), the professional community in Birmingham has not been as vocal about its qualities as some of its rivals.
John will seek to raise the profile of P.I.N. in his year of office as it develops into the pre-eminent organisation representing the professional sector in Birmingham and the West Midlands.
If you would like to be involved with P.I.N. or have any views to share with John, he would be pleased to hear from you. His contact details are as follows:
