ICAEW MEMBERS

Michael Harrison Aged 76

Michael was a Partner at Harrison Latham Chartered Accountants in Southport. Michael passed away at the beginning of June and leaves wife Nina. A Past Chairman of the Southport Branch and active committee member for many years, he will be missed by many.

We are very sad to learn of the passing of our very dear Barbara Appleton.

Barbara not only broke the glass ceiling, but shattered it, when she was elected as our Society’s first female President in 1995, and rejoiced in her title as “First Lady of the Oldest Society.

She continued her groundbreaking when being elected to the ICAEW Council in 1997, and was also a Liveryman of the Chartered Accountants Company, and also served on the St Asaph Diocesan Board of Finance.

Peter Stuart Jones Aged 87

Peter trained with Harmood Banner (the forerunner to Deloitte Haskins and Sells and PWC) and went on to have a career in practice for about 40 years. Peter passed away at Whiston Hospital on 29 April 2021 and will be greatly missed by all those whose lives he touched.

Beloved Husband of the late Pam, dearly loved Dad of Debbie and Philip, much loved Grandad to Alex, Philippa, Chris, Nathan and Robert, and younger brother of the late Lyn.

Tim Hill

We are very saddened to report the passing of our member Tim Hill.

Tim was a hugely enthusiastic member of the Society, and whilst not directly involved in the Society activity, he represented us enormously on the wider stage, and supported our BASE students competition many times.

Born in 1949 in Smithdown Road, Liverpool he qualified in 1974 with Peat Marwick Mitchell, later KPMG, and soon headed to South America, where he became Financial Controller of Club Caribbean at (in his own words, “the best address I’ve ever had”), Runway Bay, Jamaica.

He created the remarkable, The Financial Game (TFG), which was endorsed by Mark Carney, the former Bank of England governor, and was committed to improving the financial literacy of young people.

His recent illness caused him to pass on the future of this game to others, but he still continued with his great enthusiasm and commitment, and earlier this year had his very engaging biography, “LUCKY BASTARD” published under the name of Timothy Oliver. It is a book of great wit and heartfelt warmth, and will certainly make you smile.

He leaves his wife Sue, three children and six grandchildren.

Martyn Best, our Editor, recalls the few times he met with Tim as... ...too few by far. He was a fellow of great energy and enthusiasm, and very easy to warm to. We published a good profile of him in issue 28, and I only wish it had been a longer one, as I’d have loved to have dug deeper into his fascinating life.

"His book does make up for that a little, and will be one of your best reads of the year. He would have loved me to be telling you that it is available on Amazon. Rest in Peace, Tim”
