Bio
David McGrain
I worked with Jimmy for almost 2 years as ACM Birmingham campus lead, having received glowing recommendations about him from trusted colleagues. Jimmy’s role was to lead a brand new programme, so he had little to no reference points from which to work. Undaunted, he approached the challenge with professionalism, focus, dedication and good humour. He quickly became established as a key member of the cross campus team, often assuming a leadership position across the faculty and coordinating colleagues to ensure students were receiving the very best possible education. Jimmy is an absolute pleasure to work with, a real person of quality. I know wherever he goes next will be very lucky to have him.
