Professional background

A highly accomplished Chartered Engineer with a successful history in a range of industries and sectors. After selling my manufacturing businesses, my passion for fostering entrepreneurship has led me to actively support and guide startups, helping them achieve growth and increased value. Also, as the owner of an investment company providing mezzanine/bridging finance, I can play a pivotal role in empowering emerging businesses either investing personally for equity or by supporting needs through loans. With an impressive background as a former Group CEO and owner of large multinational multi-site manufacturing businesses, I possess extensive expertise in finance, revenue, and profit growth. My strategic acumen drives value creation, and I excel in developing effective business directions and exit planning strategies. Beyond professional accomplishments, I take pride in offering general support and mentoring, becoming a valuable asset to aspiring entrepreneurs in their journey to success. I have invested in 3 start-ups through the Angel Investment Network since joining in 2023.
