Chartered accountancy firm DSG has appointed a new business development director to help it to tap into opportunities in the burgeoning market.

Malcolm Jones, former investment director at Merseyside Special Investment Fund, has joined the business to help the firm to capitalise on new business opportunities in the wake of the upturn in the economy.

Prior to his role at MSIF, where he worked for over 13 years Malcolm was corporate director at Barclays Bank for over 13 years.

Andrew Moss, head of corporate at DSG, said:

“We’re very pleased to be welcoming Malcolm on board. He’s a great character with unrivalled insight into the North West professional community and his depth of experience in corporate finance will allow him play a key role in ensuring that the firm is positively and professionally promoted in its markets.”

Malcolm Jones said:

“DSG is a fantastic firm with a great offering and I’m very pleased to be joining the team. I’m looking forward to helping the company to develop and promote its offering both in the Liverpool market and across the North West.”

The Everton season-ticket holder is a keen golfer and is a member of Formby Golf Club and past captain of West Derby Golf Club. He lives with his wife in South Liverpool and has two children and four grandchildren.
