Michael Nevin

After graduating with a First Class honours degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford University, Michael Nevin began his career as an economist with the Ministry of Finance of the Government of St Lucia during the eriod leading up to and immediately following the island's independence from the UK. Later, he worked with the European Investment Bank in Luxembourg with responsibility for the bank’s lending operations in a number of African countries under the Lomé Convention , and subsequently with the London Docklands Development Corporation where he was responsible for the financial planning and management of the largest urban regeneration programme ever implemented. He then joined Deloitte & Touche in the City of London and Edinburgh before setting up his own economics advisory practice. His interest in the true facts surrounding the Rising of 1745 was inspired by a handwritten memorandum submitted by Prince Charles Edward Stuart to Louis XV of France which he acquired in 2002. He served as Treasurer of the 1745 Association between 2005 and 2010, and has been the Association's chair since 2016.
