Derek Boyd
Council Member
Derek has been a member since the Association of Costs Draftsmen was established in 1977. He previously served on the ALCD Council between 1989 and 1998 as Hon. Secretary and later as Chairman. Apart from a small stint in his early years, he has spent most of his career working in-house and the last 32 years with Ince, dealing principally in Admiralty and Commercial, but also professional indemnity and some personal injury. He enjoys contributing articles to the Costs Lawyer and is an unapologetic advocate for the networking side of the ACL’s tutorials and conferences.
A life-long ‘Whovian’, ‘graphic novel’ collector and a regular attendee at cosplay comic conventions, his interests outside costs might best be described as ‘geeky’, but he will point out that, since ‘The Big Bang Theory’, he has acquired a surprisingly high degree of ‘street cred’ from younger generations.
