Before training as a CA, I sold TVs, drove a van, sold life assurance, worked for a housing association, was a retail entrepreneur, lectured at Napier University and played guitar in a lot of bands! I now provide clear commercial advice to forward thinking businesses owners who want to grow, acquire, sell or retire. I’ve been a partner in independent, mid-tier and Big4 accountancy firms. I’m the chair for the IoD Highlands & Islands, a non-executive director of a forestry and natural resources company and chair of a national Scottish charity I believe in networking, personal development and collaboration. I enjoy business development and having worked it at for a long time, now realize it is simpler than I thought! Outside the day job I still enjoy playing guitar, learning piano, keeping fit, reading and working outdoors.
