Currently a business advisor but also have an overseas wine company (in Australia). I have been in business for around 25 years, mostly running businesses I founded. My company was awarded “Investor in people” status (approximately 2004) as well as “6th fastest growing company in Southwest” (7 counties from Cornwall to Gloucestershire). Over the years I have employed many hundreds of people including a large number of young people. I also took on several French students over the years, as part of their BTEC or equivalent, usually for periods of 6-8 weeks at a time. I very much hope that many of these youngsters would feel that I have helped them to ‘grow’ as individuals which was always my aim.I love the idea of being able to help youngsters prepare for the ‘real world’ and feel that I have a wealth of experience. I’m a good listener, highly tolerant, and like to feel that I can relate to people of all ages and walks of life. In my commercial life I have started businesses, run sales teams large and small, created brands from concept to national retail success. I have pretty sound corporate and financial knowledge. As a business advisor I see my role to assist people to identify and achieve their goals (personal and business) and I would expect this approach to be highly relevant in mentoring young people.

Educated at Swindon Art College in Graphic Design I left and gained employment in Reading with a small firm of 5 creatives working traditional drawing board graphics and illustration. Within a couple of years the company had installed the first IBM based DTP systems and steadily grew new services from the new skills. I was approached by a Newbury Agency to Head up the DTP wing of a 100 person strong team and together we produced the 1st DTP reprographics and set up the largest outside London CGI studio of its time. From here I set my own agency up specialising in both publishing and CGI work and invested in the first animation and CDI products outside of the film and TV industries. Later renditions of this firm added Internet development to complete the portfolio of services. I have now moved out of the Media Design industry and use my 25 years experience to develop global Facilities Management online systems.
