Local leadership, national experience
I lead Next 11 Ventures and support a €250m+ revenue portfolio with more than 3,000 employees for a global investor. North East businesses get that experience on their doorstep, with face-to-face time when it matters.
How I help North East businesses
Fractional or interim CEO and COO leadership, growth planning, M&A and integration, due diligence, restructuring, fundraising support and AI adoption. Results include 200%+ net profit growth at Bignall Group and a 20% overhead reduction with no loss of revenue.
Rooted in the region
I've supported the Tees Valley Catalyst Fund, which backed £300m of contracts, and work across the region's strengths: energy and offshore wind, engineering and manufacturing, software and professional services.
Getting started
Start with a short conversation about where your business is and where you want it to be. If there's a fit, we agree a clear scope, the days per week and how success will be measured.
