Jim Bellingham

FD/CFO

I have been a CFO for over 40 years, including 3 years as CFO for Laura Ashley Plc. I am very commercially aware and am able to communicate easily to non-accounting managers what is exactly behind the numbers. I consider myself a profit centre as I am able to more than cover any costs associated with me with improvements to the bottom line.
