Mr Taylor will take responsibility for all financial matters within the business, supporting Jumpstart’s UK-wide growth strategy.

A fully qualified Chartered Accountant who initially trained with Tenon, Mr Taylor joins from Dalmore Capital, where he served as financial controller during a period of significant growth.

Prior to that he spent 12 years with AIM-listed oil and gas company Petroceltic, where he was international group manager of strategic planning, focused on Middle East and North Africa operations.

Jumpstart’s managing director Scott Henderson said: “Andrew is a very welcome addition to our team as we target further growth across the UK. He brings formidable experience, which we aim to leverage across our business, of working with multi-discipline senior management teams to deliver on company strategy.”
