A FINANCIAL director from York is celebrating after being named in the top 20 in the country.

Tim Taylor, finance and operations director at Cellhire, was honoured at an event hosted by accountancy network BDO celebrating its Hot 20 FDs in the technology, media and telecoms (TMT) sector.

The event saw 70 financial directors and chief financial officers from across the UK nominated for the top 20 accolade. Tim was described as a “hands-on fd who thrives on challenges”.

Since joining the mobile telecommunications company three years ago, Mr Taylor says his biggest career highlight was leading Cellhire through the London 2012 Games, which saw the company delivering some 28,000 connections.

Mr Taylor has recently led Cellhire into establishing joint ventures in Russia and Brazil – growth markets that he sees as potentially highly lucrative for the company.
