Summary

After a successful business career I have decided to take semi retirement, voluntarily leaving a business I have been a shareholder of for 20+ years (references available) following a company buyout. I am now looking to give something back and hopefully use my acquired skills to help community or charity organisations.


Proven track record of getting things done, and being able to keep my teams on track to deliver the wider company objective.
