JOHN H. HARRIS, C.A.
Chairman
Joined Ross & Liddell 1978. Qualified in 1968 as a C.A. with Nelson Gilmour Scott & Co. and, after gaining further experience with Price Waterhouse, John held two further financial positions before joining Ross & Liddell. He was appointed Financial Director and Company Secretary in 1979 and Managing Director in 1995.
He has been involved in the changing face of the firm, including transformation from a partnership to company, a management buy-out, amalgamation with Winning & Fulton, and the introduction of sophisticated computer and management techniques, resulting in a company which employs 75 staff operating out of Glasgow, Paisley and Edinburgh, serving clients in the central belt of Scotland and beyond.
At the end of August, 2005, John decided that, after more than a decade in the role of Managing Director, he would take a step back from overseeing the day-to-day running of the company. He was immediately appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors.
John enjoys gardening, walking his dogs and, of course, Ross & Liddell.
