I have a degree in economics and professional accountancy qualifications.

    I have worked at the very top as a CEO and also as CFO and COO in large organisations. As such I have been responsible for written communications, presentations, web content etc for dissemination to literally 1000's of employees. I have produced business plans for acquisitions, management buy-outs, start-ups, new countries, new products, project investments. In fact I can't think of one I haven't done. I have a tried and tested template approach.

    In February 2014, I decided I had had enough of the rat race and now run a smallholding in rural Shropshire. I have taken butchery courses and have pigs, sheep, geese and various types of poultry.

    I undertake freelance projects now to keep my brain sharp and to use some of the skills I have built up over a long period of time. I can assist you with business plans in full or in part as well as any other business related activities such as investor pitches and presentations.

    I have written well over 650 articles for various clients, a number of whom are now recurring and household names. I also write creatively for myself and have had books accepted by a publisher.

    Unlike some other people here, I have real experience so will write for you or produce plans for you that are not only creative but are backed by 25 years experience in the real world of corporate life.

    I can also assist in the charitable sector. I have been a Trustee on one of the biggest UK charities and Chaired a corporate charity and since freelancing have assisted charitable applications, proposals and grants.

    I have been a paid mentor for the Accounting Institute of England and Wales and continue to mentor for my former university. It gives me great satisfaction that I count previous mentees as my friends.

    I enjoy the new variability of my life and would welcome opportunities to help you in your business.
