I am an experienced and educated advisor and have been working as a consultant for the past 10 years to SMEs throughout their lifespan.

I began work after graduation from Dundee University with a Government run body - Invest Northern Ireland and then a subsiduary of which in 2003 - North West Marketing as an advisor to SMEs through their Business Start and now called Go For It programmes. In this role I was responsible for nurturing and educating the client pre launch, and then act as a consultant to the business for the first year of their operations. Duties would include training, mentoring, financial planning and completing a business plan. During this time I assisted over 2500 hours of face to face client mentoring and completed in excess of 600 business plans. I then went on to manage of number of large scale business development project and was promoted to a Senior Advisor within the company.

Most recently, I began my own small consultancy firm and I currently operate mainly in my domestic market of Northern Ireland to a number of regular clientele. However, from time to time I am based in London where I regularly attend training courses and seminars on all the latest business legislation etc.

I am mainly interested in completing business plans remotely, as due to my experience and data base of already completed plans I can do so efficiently and to a very high standard.
