Having spent 15 years in the city, developing skills in corporate finance and operations, I now share my skills and knowledge to help companies grow and build strong foundations to create successful businesses. I am a force-multiplier, offering company owners a full-time, non-exec service on a consultancy basis. I have worked across a broad range of industries and can bring external insight to your business.

As a loving husband and father, I enjoy motorcycles, Kayaking and adventure.

I also spent 5 years with Kent Search & Rescue, helping to save vulnerable missing people with Kent Police.

I go beyond traditional consulting to serve as your dedicated advisor and mentor. With a focus on innovation and collaboration, I work alongside your internal team to transform your organisation's approach to hiring and retaining staff. I believe that recruitment and staff retention are vital components of achieving sustained business success. In today's competitive landscape, attracting and retaining top talent is paramount to maintaining an edge and driving organisational growth. A robust recruitment process ensures you find the right candidates and align them with your company culture. Effective staff retention strategies reduce turnover, minimize recruitment costs, and foster a stable and motivated workforce.
