He is an entrepreneurial and energetic business professional with over 35 years experience in the food industry, primarily in fresh produce.

In his early career he worked for some of the leading family-owned fresh produce companies in the U.K. where he developed life-long relationships with the mainstream retailers, wholesale and food service companies.

This experience was widened through their expansion in growing, farming and importing from around the globe but notably, mainland Europe, Central Europe, Africa, South America, South East Asia and Australasia.

Following this, he decided to start his own business supplying the leading U.K. retailer and built this up to a £25m turnover within 7 years.

He sold the majority shares and rejoined the new owner to integrate the business and build a state-of-the-art production facility using sustainable power at a cost of £23m which he also invested in. This created a number of opportunities in additional product areas that allowed his entrepreneurial flair to excel through developing a range of added value brands in forming partnerships in other countries to gain greater sales. These included Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa and Dubai. This has led to increasing his network of global retailers and importers in those countries.

More recently, he stepped down from full-time employment and now a strategic retail advisor for the Soil Association, non-Exec director for two of the most well know known fresh produce companies and is a Co-founder of a soon to be launch healthy and dairy free breakfast range.

Although his interests are varied he still feels the urge to offer his knowledge and experience and would consider a select range of opportunities with likeminded companies and individuals that he can help and add value.
