Nick Hills | Chief Financial Officer | Bidwells

As Finance Director, Nick’s role is focussed on supporting business performance and managing Bidwells’ finance team.

His breadth of knowledge has stemmed from experience in a variety of property investment management and corporate M&A and financial reporting roles for blue chip multi-national companies in the UK, US and Asia.

By continually re-engineering our business processes, Nick and his team are ensuring Bidwells remains fit for the future.

He works very closely with others in the support teams to ensure Bidwells continues to be as efficient and effective as possible. Nick runs a tight ship but is widely considered a flexible and friendly team leader.

Having held a combination of executive and non-executive, trustee and investment committee roles in his career, Nick brings a broad range of experience to the table. He read French and German at the University of Cambridge and enjoys the challenge of communicating financial concepts clearly to both financial and non-financial audiences.

Nick is a Chartered Accountant ACA and holds the IMC Investment Management Certificate.
