I’ve been fortunate to received world class leadership training, with experience gained working in demanding environments in a first responder organisation. More recently I’ve been a Director in a successful professional services company, specializing in helping family businesses to corporates build resilience and prepare for crises. However, more than these it is my role as a husband and father of two that most defines me, and means I understand the pressures of work / life balance and how it can be tricky to get the priorities right. In my spare time I get my kicks from orienteering, fellrunning and ultra endurance mountain challenges.

I’m a Mountain Leader, member of the Mountain Training Association, Learning and Development Instructor, Sports Coach, Outdoor First Aider and Mental Health First Aider and a past Prince’s Trust mentor to young entrepreneurs.
