I am especially pleased to be heading up the firm’s newest office location in my home town of Biggar and look forward to building on my 20 years in accountancy practice, and growing JRW’s presence further in the Clyde Valley and beyond.

I hail from the historic market town of Biggar, where, prior to the retirement of a family member I also participated in the operation of the family road haulage business. My involvement in this long established firm provided me with hands on practical experience in all areas of the business, including of course finance and accountancy. This has proved to be invaluable in my work.”
