No day is the same, but in essence my role is to build relationships with great businesses and the people that make them a success. I have invested in many sectors over the years, but have a special affinity for healthcare, social care, education and professional services – all areas where people and culture are at the heart of sustainable growth and success.

During my time at Livingbridge, I have invested in a number of such businesses, including Witherslack, Portman Dental, YSC and Efficio. I am also, today, actively involved in Helping Hands, one of the largest providers of homecare services to older adults in the UK.

I have now spent 25 years in private equity. This journey started with a nine-month secondment to Barclays Ventures in 1997 from the Barclays graduate scheme. Those nine months turned rapidly into four years, and in that time I developed my love of business and of working with individuals who are passionate about what they do. The opportunity to join Livingbridge twenty years ago was simply an offer I couldn’t refuse.

Outside of work, I enjoy walking and cycling, ideally in the Lake District, but more frequently in Richmond Park.
