One of the most respected and influential figures in the Welsh business community, Keith James, has died after a short illness aged 78.
His impressive career saw him becoming chair of legal firm Eversheds in 1995 (now Eversheds Sutherland) where he oversaw impressive growth both in the UK and internationally. Other prominent roles included chairing the only headquartered commercial bank in Wales, Hodge.
With a first class intellect he was a hugely effective operator around the corporate boardroom, while remaining a self-effacing man at heart noted for his warmth, empathy and supportive nature towards colleagues and friends.
