- Personal Statement
Jim has lived in Newnham since 2005.
Jim was a lawyer by trade specialising in Commercial Litigation, Property Litigation & Insolvency work, before then becoming Head of the Nationwide Building Society UK & European Commercial Loan Documentation & Recovery businesses. After leaving Nationwide Jim then became involved in corporate recovery work, of both businesses and properties throughout Europe, dealing mainly with securitised loans (loans originated by banks but then sold to investors) and cross border insolvency work. Those businesses included a portfolio of 90+ care homes operating across the UK.
Jim took early retirement and now works on a part time basis, which has freed up time to enable Jim to become a Parish Councillor, a role he began in October 2018.
Jim is currently the Internal Financial Controller for the Parish Council.
Along with his wife Judith, Jim is a Welsh Rugby Supporter and they open their garden for charity (both for the National Garden Scheme and the Village open gardens), although Jim's knowledge of gardening is limited to knowing which way to hold a fork and other labouring skills
