Financial grip
Cash flow forecasting, margin analysis, debtor control and honest management figures. The numbers conversation most SME boards avoid.
Board profile.
Commercially focused director with board-level experience across a group of UK engineering businesses with combined turnover of c.£4m. Managing Director of two companies, statutory director of a holding company, and finance and commercial lead for a £3.5m consultancy.
A track record of turning round underperforming operations, imposing financial control, and systemising delivery so businesses run on process rather than personalities. I bring owner-managed businesses the cash flow discipline, margin control and governance grip they typically lack.
What I bring to a board.
Systemisation
Converting founder-dependent operations into documented, repeatable processes that scale and survive succession.
Turnaround instinct
Quick diagnosis of underperformance, decisive corrective action, and structure to stop it recurring.
Sector insight
Construction, engineering and professional services economics: fee pricing, scope control, utilisation and delivery risk.
