After over 20 years of advising businesses at every stage — from ambitious start-ups to multi-site global organisations — I’ve finally taken some of my own advice and launched my own business consulting company.With a strong background in business growth, funding, and strategic support, I help entrepreneurs and business owners navigate the complexities of public and private sector support, and secure the right finance — whether that’s debt, grant, or equity — to drive their ambitions forward.I have a proven track record in preparing businesses to become investment-ready, and in guiding them through funding application processes with confidence and clarity. I also work closely with universities to support innovation and knowledge exchange, and provide tailored one-to-one mentoring alongside the design and delivery of practical, engaging workshops on everything from business essentials to pitching to investors.I am proud to have consistently built long standing and trusted relationships with clients from all sectors and get a huge sense of pride and personal achievement seeing businesses succeed.At the core of my work is a clear purpose: supporting business and empowering innovation. I’m passionate about helping organisations unlock opportunities, access the right support, and build the capabilities they need for sustainable, long-term success.
