I am an experienced business mentor, adviser and former senior business leader, working with SME owners who want to scale their business, strengthen their management team and build a company that is less dependent on them personally.

Through Business Doctors, I work with owners and leadership teams to turn ambition into practical plans - helping clarify strategy, improve profitability and cash generation, develop people, strengthen systems and create greater long-term business value.

My approach is commercially focused and practical. I help business owners step back from day-to-day pressures, challenge assumptions, identify the issues that will make the biggest difference and translate these into clear priorities, measures and actions.

I bring over 30 years of leadership, management and people-development experience, combined with hands-on experience of advising SMEs across a wide range of sectors.

I particularly enjoy working with ambitious owner-managed businesses at a point of change - whether that means accelerating growth, building a stronger leadership team, preparing for acquisition, reducing owner dependency or developing a longer-term succession and exit plan.
