Dr. Gary Simpson
Gary has had extensive experience of both working in and with the private and public sectors in the UK, Europe, USA and China.
These included many in a Programme Director capacity, including secondments (e.g. two years to the Deputy Prime Minister’s office as National Project Director), or simply in a troubleshooting capacity.
Through his own assigned Cabinet Office research he became aware of credit unions and how they can be an animator of communities when they operate effectively, providing financial services whilst striving to educate their account holders “in the wise use of money and in the management of their financial affairs”
