Additional Information

I am English, aged 72, a widower after 40 happily married years, a home owner and debt free. My interests include Sport, Gardening, the Stockmarket, Travel, Wine, International affairs and Business.

My career to date has covered 3 phases. Gaining a Professional Qualification and working for 6 years with Price Waterhouse, now PwC, in London, Africa and the Caribbean. In 1978 set up my own private investment company and purchased 3 companies over 8 years. As MD, these were built up and sold or merged with other companies by 1993. In 1994, set up my own Corporate Consultancy business, specialising in M&A and business Advisory work. Completed deal size £500k to £5m in SME sector.

My experience in Mentoring comes from the last 16 years of my Corporate Consultancy work and buying and selling companies on behalf of clients.

I am currently seeking to expand my investment portfolio with investments in owner managed growth businesses, which are at an early to mid stage in their development.. For an equity investment (the highest risk) I expect some involvement as is mutually suitable, together with commensurate income. An existing Management Team is also preferred, although nor essential.
