Me in a minute

Having been on the client side, I have a good feeling about what matters to the client

I advise a number of companies, LLP's and entrepreneurs in their corporate and commercial issues. Having been on the client side for a number of years in my previous job, I have a good feeling about what matters to the client. As a consequence, I am often described as being very pragmatic and commercial.

Away from work, I am interested in music and most sports and follow the fluctuating fortunes of Swindon Town.
