Exclusive: Ministers Lure Sovereign Wealth Funds Chief

The Government's trade promotion body has hired a senior executive from Ernst & Young to spearhead an effort to forge relations with sovereign wealth funds and other high-value inward investors, I have learned.

Michael Boyd, who held several roles at the accounting firm, has been appointed as the head of a new strategic relations unit within UK Trade & Investment (UKTI). Boyd's appointment is expected to be announced within days and could come as soon as tomorrow.
