Martin Jackson, Founder and Managing Director of JMAC Business Consulting, has been shortlisted as a finalist for the prestigious Institute of Directors (IoD) England Director of the Year Awards in the Innovation category.

Jackson’s recognition stems from his leadership in JMAC’s pioneering work with FinTech leader Hope Macy. Tasked with developing a credit rating system for consumer finance platforms in the vulnerable lending sector, JMAC delivered an innovative solution that integrates traditional credit reference agency scoring with AI-driven analysis of Open Banking transactional data.

Martin Jackson commented, “Being named a finalist at the IoD England Director of the Year Awards is a tremendous honour. I’m incredibly proud to be recognised by such a distinguished organisation for our innovative contributions to the consumer lending industry. At JMAC, we remain committed to pushing boundaries, and our work with Hope Macy exemplifies our dedication to leveraging cutting-edge technology to address complex challenges.”
