Acquisitions. Strategic growth. Long-term value.
For more than 30 years I've built, owned, operated, acquired and worked alongside businesses. Today I bring that experience to selected acquisitions, strategic partnerships and advisory situations where I believe I can genuinely add value.
Three ways I work
A focused framework built around where my experience can make a material difference.
Acquisitions
Conversations around established, profitable businesses — directly with owners or through advisers and introducers.

I occasionally support owners, boards, investors and acquirers where my experience is particularly relevant to a strategic or transaction situation.

Philosophy
Businesses are about people as much as numbers.
Understand the owner. Understand the business. Understand what the person is trying to achieve. Establish whether interests genuinely align — and only then determine whether there is a transaction or relationship worth pursuing.
Businesses I’m interested in
I'm interested in established, profitable businesses with sound fundamentals, sustainable earnings and genuine prospects for continuity and further development. I look at the whole business and the owner's objectives rather than relying on a rigid checklist.

Thirty years on both sides of the table.
I've spent more than 30 years building, owning, operating, acquiring and working with businesses. That includes experiencing transactions from both sides — as an owner with capital and responsibility at risk, and through acquisition, valuation and advisory work.
That combination shapes how I look at businesses today: commercially, financially and from the perspective of the people behind them.
The best opportunities usually start with a conversation.
An owner considering a future sale. A business owner looking for strategic support. An acquisition opportunity, a possible partnership, or a relevant advisory situation — I would welcome a confidential discussion.
