Summary
Having worked successfully as an international broker for a decade, I took the brave decision to work for myself full time trading and betting on live sport in play.
This was financially lucrative, enjoyable and challenging for a long time but after 14 years for a variety of reasons it's time to try something new.
I have also done a lot of work as a senior member of the Thames Valley League cricket committee and as captain of my own club. These roles although obviously unpaid have given me a lot of skills in organisation,administration and managing people.
