New role for grants specialist

South west accountancy firm, Bishop Fleming, has promoted its Truro-based head of grants and renewable energy to a new corporate role.

Ewan McClymont, who joined the company in 2002, has been made director of corporate development for the region, with a focus on the firm’s Cornish operations.

As head of the grants team, McClymont has an enviable success record delivering more than £10 million in grants to Bishop Fleming clients.

In addition to his grants role, McClymont has been leading the development of the firm’s services to clients in the sector for renewable energy.

Prior to joining Bishop Fleming, he was an adviser with Business Link in Devon & Cornwall, having previously spent seven years in various sales and marketing roles with the Ford Motor Company.

Managing partner Matthew Lee commented: “Ewan has a superb track-record as our specialist in grant funding and business planning, which has enabled him to become a well-known part of the region’s business community.

“It is a natural extension of his role to capitalise on that achievement to head the development of the firm’s further growth in the corporate sector.”
