I am passionate about helping my clients find commercial solutions to their problems. I’m particularly skilled at working with successful entrepreneurs who have a strong personal or emotional connection to their business.

In my spare time I enjoy being a dad to my young son and daughter along with cookery, horse racing, golf, cycling and countryside hiking.
