I have had experience of all aspects of business lifecycle: start-ups; buying and selling several businesses; buying back a business; setting up a new business and see it fail; raising finance from banks and other sources; managing a large network of suppliers; designing and implementing quality standards; establishing competitive advantage in a mature industry; and establishing a family business which is now run by my daughter.

“Entrepreneurs don’t tend to fit into generic moulds and I am certainly no exception! My master’s thesis (would you believe it) was on 17/18th century church pulpits in Central Europe – not exactly the recipe for a budding entrepreneur! But it does help confirm my profound believe that entrepreneurship is an exciting possibility for many more people than ever realise it – and that includes the growing numbers of older people looking for ways to remain not just economically active but rewarded and fulfilled into later life.”
