Tim was leader of the EY team providing the secretariat for those of us charged with creating the Business Banking Resolution Service. He cared passionately about our mission and the chance the BBRS has to bring about resolution. He wanted to bring justice, bring fairness and to see that right is done. His influence in shaping the BBRS was profound. He steered us round pitfalls, found answers when outcomes seemed to be beyond our grasp, he used diplomacy when tempers were fraying and spoke out when some behaviours were clearly unreasonable. He was great at calming storms!
Tim was intelligent, funny, honest, energetic, kind… he will be hugely missed and we at The BBRS will be forever in his debt. The BBRS is part of his legacy. We will honour him by delivering the best possible service, in finding outcomes that are fair, independent and honest.
