I am a Corporate Finance specialist, helping business owners to grow, acquire, and ultimately sell their businesses. Over my career, I have advised on 47 transactions with a combined value of more than £205m, with particular expertise in succession and exit planning.
Corporate Finance
I trained at Deloitte in Bristol before moving into Corporate Finance at Hazlewoods, where I helped grow the team into an Experian-ranked top 6 adviser by volume.
My approach centres on understanding the whole business and not just the numbers. I'm comfortable discussing wider operational and commercial challenges and love learning what really makes an organisation tick. Through this deep understanding, we can generate innovative solutions that go beyond what you'd normally expect from your advisers, always with a strong commercial and people focus.
What draws me to Ballards is the entrepreneurial spirit, the friendly atmosphere that creates a sense of belonging, and the agility with which we can deploy our services. It's a welcoming group with strong commercial focus and the ability to quickly adapt to clients' needs.
Outside work, I'm a keen runner and gym goer. I've completed the Manchester Marathon four times, earning a spot in the 'Legends Hall of Fame', and enjoy competing in Hyrox events across the UK.
I specialise in helping business owners grow, acquire, and sell their businesses by taking a holistic approach, understanding both the numbers and the wider operational and commercial challenges.
