ABOUT ME
With over 30 years experience in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and home improvement sector, I now use my experience to find solutions for retailers, suppliers, manufacturers and customers.
Where I am not able to provide a direct service, I am able to source from my vast network of contacts to put people together and provide a reliable and proven provider who will be able to assist.
Maybe you are ...
- A retailer who is looking to take your business to the next level, or deal with current issues you have within your business.
- A manufacturer or supplier who is looking to break into the UK market, or want to increase your customer base.
- A retail or trade customer who is looking to source a wide range of products at a competitive price.
Or anybody else in the home improvement sector who needs support.
I can help.​
​​
As a consultant, I have worked with many national chains, European manufacturers and sellers, and independent retailers.
​​
Although I live in Knutsford in the North West, I have an extensive knowledge of the UK having lived in London, the West Country, the South East, and I am from the Midlands originally.
​​
Also, I have covered all areas of the UK in my various roles meaning I have a very strong network of people around me nationwide.
​​
I have an excellent reputation within the KBB sector, and this has been reinforced by my results.
Currently, I work as a business developer, adviser and problem solver to companies in the sectors listed above, and help them move their results to the next level.
What sets me apart, is that I am equally comfortable with retail or trade businesses. and having worked in all of the home improvement sectors, it means I am talking from experience.
Many consultants usually have a strength with one or the other, whereas I can work with anybody, from high end independent retail outlets to national trade businesses.
I write regularly for publications in the UK and USA, as well as regularly updating my blog page.
I will soon be adding a "Case Study" page to showcase some of the work I have carried out with various clients.

I try to go to the gym regularly and I love my holidays ! A sunshine break is preferred, but I also try and get in at least one city break every year.
​
A fun fact about me, that will make some of you very jealous, is that I was in the live studio audience for the episode of Only Fools and Horses where they became millionaires !
