With a wealth of professional experience, I, co-founded Clear Vision Business Solutions, along with Pete Glanville. We are a consultancy dedicated to working with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to advance their business growth.

Recognising the resource and financial constraints often faced by SMEs we specialise in comprehensive business reviews, financial optimisation, operational streamlining, through to the hands-on implementation of practical solutions.

In 2020 my previous role as Financial Director at the WCD Group involved a pivotal restructuring of the company’s financial framework. Serving as a mentor to the management team, I played a key part in transforming the firm into a multi-million-pound enterprise with a robust workforce, achieving remarkable growth in EBITDA. The subsequent successful exit strategy involved the acquisition of WCD Group by Waterlogic, later coming under the ownership of global water company, Culligan. I actively participated in due diligence during the sale, collaborating with legal and accounting professionals.

Before my tenure at WCD, I held a management role at Group HES, a hydraulics engineering firm, where I progressed to being CIMA qualified and the position of Financial Director. In 2017, I assumed the role of Managing Director, guiding the company through acquisition by Flowtech Fluidpower plc. Post-acquisition, I facilitated the integration of Group HES into the Flowtech Fluidpower plc portfolio.

Throughout my career, I have gained considerable expertise in operational activities, including inventory management, purchasing, and warehousing. My board level experience since 2011 includes navigating the challenges of fast-growing businesses amidst economic downturns and global crises. A lead player in many due diligence processes for business sales, I specialise in bridging the communication and expectation gaps between SMEs and large corporate entities, to ensure the smooth integration of SMEs into corporate structures post-sale.

Employing an inclusive and people-centric management approach, I use my extensive experience and cutting-edge behavioural assessment tools, such as DISC profiling. Holding certification as a PPA Practitioner via Thomas International, I bring a holistic perspective to business leadership.

Beyond my professional endeavours, I am a dedicated family man, allocating leisure time to my children and engaging in property renovations. My interests extend to sports, particularly football and boxing.
