The Community Builder Having built a number of international businesses my time is now spent coaching entrepreneurs to overcome challenges, identify opportunities and drive their business forward. I achieve this by calling upon my experience, skills developed over the last thirty years and one of the broadest networks of any businessman operating today in the UK.

Not all work - since turning 50 he has developed a passion for endurance events and can often be found at weekends mud-splattered clambering over obstacles and "trying to keep up". Why not drop me a note or give me a call, what have you got to lose?
