As a business investor, my focus is on helping small and medium-sized (SME) businesses grow and maximise shareholder value, either through selling to myself directly or in partnership. My approach is different from that of larger corporate groups or private equity firms. Rather than cutting costs, changing the brand, or eliminating employees, I am committed to preserving what makes your business unique—the brand, the people, and the reputation.
With over two decades of experience in leading businesses and driving sales, I have overseen and spearheaded top line revenue growth exceeding £100+ million for major global organisations such as Verizon, BT Group, and CNA, alongside several other portfolio investments. This experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of how to scale operations effectively and unlock the hidden potential in businesses.
Whether you’re looking to sell your business or partner for growth, I work closely with business owners to ensure a smooth transition that benefits everyone, especially the people who helped build the business. My goal is to help you achieve the best possible outcome, while retaining the legacy and culture you’ve worked so hard to create.
Outside of the business world, I am passionate about travel and spending time with my family and friends. I believe in giving back to the community and I’ve been a longstanding trustee for a London-based charity that supports children and adults with learning difficulties, having grown up with a younger brother diagnosed with disability. As the financial governance lead and a regular donor, I’m proud to contribute to the charity’s mission of making a meaningful difference in the lives of those with learning difficulties.
At the heart of my business philosophy is people and maybe I’m old fashioned but I still believe “my word is my bond”. I believe it’s essential to know the individuals I work with, and for them to know me. I hope this insight gives you some insight with regards to who I am and the values I live by.
If you’re considering selling your business or seeking a partner to help you scale, let’s explore how I can help you achieve your goals while preserving the legacy you’ve built.
