Aim

"Creating additional value for entrepreneurial clients."

Most entertaining deal or case

"Achieving substantial proceeds (about twice the client’s own valuation!) for the sale of a business which, using traditional valuation methods, had limited intrinsic value. The business is a continuing success and is now part of a £40m group."

Proudest professional moments

"Organising a business turnaround for a major steel trading business, including co-ordinating the business downsizing, arranging finance and new equity for the resurgent new business."

What I like about my job

"Tough negotiations and successful deals."

Interests outside work
