I am driven, energetic and committed to helping SME’s achieve a better future for themselves and their businesses.&nbsp;

Drawing on my years of experience running large Commercial teams for major retailers and hospitality companies, I thrive confronting challenges head-on and identifying the best possible solutions.

Developing a compelling consumer proposition is key but this has to be aligned with a strong level of commerciality to ensure success.

I love to help businesses put together a winning strategy on sales, marketing, people, finance and operations focused on practical implementation plans, measurement and review.

From start up to exit I am currently helping business in many sectors and of many sizes.
