I love business. 

 

It's not a cheesy one-liner but more likely to come from my competitive nature and desire to build something exciting and impressive.  As those who know me will be aware, I have a strange passion for numbers and setting goals and targets that can be achieved again and again, and then ultimately broken over and over - that's the motivation.  Having that natural desire to achieve, along with the career experience I've had, means that I'm in a good position to help businesses implement, grow quickly and achieve ROI and results. I simply love the challenge and the feeling of achievement when creating more value in a business.

WHO AM I?

Away from the day-to-day and the passion at work, you'll most likely find me following some sort of sporting event. Football has always been my hobby of choice but I also love Golf, F1, Table Tennis, Darts and Skiing - if it's competitive, I'll enjoy it. My two daughters are at a great age and most weekends I'm either watching a Hockey or Netball match or spectating at a gymnastics event.

​

Away from sports, I'm a keen traveller with an active interest in Business and Technology. I believe heavily in enterprise and love seeing both start-ups and established companies doing well, especially when they have the right attitude and relationship with their customers. I've also recently entered the 'curious' world of Cryptocurrency (XRP and Ethereum fan club).   

​

Finally, this should all be a challenge. At times frustrating and difficult, but I believe in the power of positivity. Someone once told me to 'enjoy the journey' and it has stuck with me ever since. Work hard, play hard!
