I specialise in scaling "traditional" SMEs to achieve profitable growth through people motivation, implementation of transformational strategies, route to market, cost optimisation and creative initiatives.
​
My Interest lies in wholly acquiring or partly investing in businesses with a view to providing transformational capital and imbuing operational excellence by seeking consistent improvement in processes, systems and people.
​
By leveraging my capital raising and performance improvement expertise, I transform these businesses by maximizing their potential to grow both locally and internationally.
​
Currently, I actively target SMEs (£1m-10m revenues) mainly in the UK where I am based. In the past, I mainly concentrated on companies based in Africa.
