BVCA appoints former cabinet minister Michael Moore

Moore will take over from Tim Hames later in the year; Hames has been in the position since May 2013.

Currently, Moore is a senior adviser at PwC, specialising in Government and public policy and advising clients on Brexit. He was elected as a Liberal Democrat in 1997, joined the party's front bench in 2005 and served as secretary of state for Scotland in the coalition government between 2010-2013. Moore then took a position as European business adviser to the deputy prime minister until the 2015 election, where he was unseated by SNP candidate Calum Kerr.

BVCA chairman Calum Paterson said in a statement that Moore's experience in business and politics means he will be an excellent leader for the BVCA at an important time for the industry and wider economy.
