A highly experienced CFO operating across a broad range of sectors, I also have extensive experience of business acquisitions and disposals. I was Corporate Finance partner in a regional accounting practice before working as Group FD for two groups of companies, one of which was multinational with turnover in excess of £100m. I joined the CFO Centre in 2025.

  • Secured a complex working capital and acquisition funding facility within a very tight timetable to fund three simultaneous acquisitions; managed the key banking relationship for many years.
