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.
