About

“My first introduction to business was at the age of 14, when I took over payroll (manual for 60 employees) for my fathers firm after the office manager kept making errors, and (apart from accountancy training) I have been in management roles pretty much ever since… driven to achieve, driven to succeed, driven to make a difference.”

From the start…

From starting my first business at 18 to pay for university, I have made a career out of leading businesses and finance divisions. In the 35+ years since starting my first business I have:

  • Built two £1 million+ accountancy firms, advising over 5,000 business clients
  • Helped build a multi-national tax advisory firm to a $7m sale
  • Provided corporate consultancy to organisations across multiple industries
  • Led on corporate restructuring and acquisition integrations
  • Built acquisitions up for resale
  • Led Corporate recovery across several organisations & countries
  • Led/implemented business growth stratagies
  • Provided management support across a range of business areas
  • Negotiated sale of a tech division to a global agency
  • Brought in investments at seed rounds
  • Dealt with stakeholders and investors at all levels
  • Engaged directly with Government Ministers
  • Led businesses through rapid growth
  • Led/supported SLT’s across numerous businesses

My “superpowers” are the ability to see innovative solutions, numbers, and the drive to add extra zero’s to the bottom line.
