Bill was born in Scotland, United Kingdom.
Bill studied at Manchester University, graduated with a degree in economics.
Bill worked as an economics editor for the Sunday Telegraph. He also has worked as a business journalist for twenty-five years.
In Goldstrike! The Oppenheimer Empire in Crisis Jamieson writes about the 1988-89 takeover fight between Minorca and Consolidated Gold Fields. He said the winners were consultants, the media, and Hanson, which eventually acquired Consolidated Gold. An Economist reviewer: “Mr. Jamieson... has a journalist’s nose for the details of the contested bid. He is less strong, indeed rather superficial, when he comes to the final part of his book, an analysis of the challenges facing the Oppenheimer empire in the 1990s.”
In A “Coming Home” or Poisoned Chalice Jamieson and Helen Szamueiy discuss the establishment of the European Monetary Union’s (EMU) global-friendly fixed exchange rate system. Alan S. Mil ward wrote in the Times Literary Supplement that Jamieson and Szamueiy feel “the EU (European Union) is an economic disaster, which EMU will make more disastrous.”
He joined The Scotsman in 2000. He is also the economics columnist for Scotland on Sunday and a contributor to the Spectator Business magazine and City AM. He is a regular commentator on business and economics affairs for BBC Scotland. He stepped down as Executive Editor of The Scotsman in 2012 after 12 years but is retained by the paper in a freelance and consulting capacity. He also edits a website Scot Buzz devoted to supporting business start-ups and SMEs.
