I am a Chartered Accountant with over 20 years’ experience in turnaround and option maximisation. I bring a wide, practical, hands on and commercial skill set to all situations.
My work involves supporting and working with management teams and lenders, not just at times of distress, but also when guiding them on future strategy. My clients are generally corporates (PE owned or owner managed) or their lenders. My focus is on turnaround, debt refinancing, disposals, options analysis, facility restructurings, and contingency planning and insolvency. The situations are often time pressured and stressful with numerous stakeholders to manage.
Where necessary and once all other options have been explored, I take insolvency appointments to help protect and preserve value in a business for the benefit of its employees, customers, suppliers, lenders and other creditors.
I am the Yorkshire and North East regional lead for, and have an interest in, the care home, hospitality and leisure sectors. I have extensive experience in supporting C-suite management teams, shareholders, investors and funders to identify and deliver the optimal solution.
My experience includes:
In my spare time, I like to get away from my desk and do something practical, such as DIY (a seemingly never ending job) and attempting to grow things on my allotment. I also enjoy exploring the beautiful Yorkshire countryside in my search for its best pubs.
