Career history

After qualifying in 2003, I have worked my way up the ladder, now working in the accountancy industry for almost 25 years, with the majority of that time being spent in the merger and acquisition world.

Corporate Finance has always been a key area of interest for me and I am eager to work with clients across all sectors.

Career highlights

The handful of occasions when I’ve worked with companies from an early-stage finance raise through expansion to a successful ultimate exit for the shareholders. I got on so well with my first ever corporate finance a client in 2004 that I remained close with them and 12 years later led a £9m sale for the shareholders.

Hobbies and interests

I really enjoy travelling with my family, hiking around the Lake District and following my team, Newcastle United.
