Jim has amassed a wealth of experience – spanning four decades – advising on a broad range of arts and cultural destination developments throughout the UK and across Europe, Asia and the Middle East. He brings financial rigor to early-stage creative processes, ensuring development strategies are anchored in sound commercial principles.

In 2009 he authored the business case and design brief that unpinned the award-winning Giant’s Causeway visitor centre. He co-founded Fourth Street in 2012 and has since helped to unlock numerous culture-led regeneration projects including Farsons’ Old Brewhouse in Malta and Brighton’s iconic Madeira Terrace. He is currently leading the team tasked with delivering a £6.5m restoration of Swindon’s Victorian baths.
