“As my career has been based around individuals taking on fresh challenges, I became attracted by the prospect myself.
“Having spent over 18 years with the same firm, I suppose you could say that I have decided to speed up a bit,” he added.
Mr Boyle is a prominent figure in the regional business community and previously co-chaired Variety’s Yorkshire Business Awards judging panel on behalf of Howgate Sable.
