I've since been in to larger companies helping them achieve their objectives before coming back to assisting SMEs with my own venture; Aperture Marketing.

Why? Because I'm honestly happiest when helping others achieve the potential that their business has by providing an objective focus through their marketing. And let's be honest, if our customers do well Aperture does well too.

When not working I indulge a passion for photography, when wife and young children allow, which isn't very often.
