Lyn Watson - Managing Partner lynw@barrons-bds.com 01702 481915 Lyn is the Managing Partner with overall responsibility for the strategic growth of the practice and for ensuring we meet and hopefully exceed client expectations on all the services we provide. Lyn qualified in 1979 having worked with Barron Rowles Bass, the predecessor to Barrons from 1974. Lyn has a number of shareholding and directorship involvements with substantial trading businesses, which not only keep him very busy but also help in sharpening the commercial acumen needed to advise growing businesses. To relax Lyn takes himself off to his pad in the Costa Del Sol as often as possible and is attempting (very badly) to learn Spanish.link |
