I am a chartered accountant, with a specific focus on due diligence, financial assessments, and business reviews across public and private sector organisations. I lead teams in providing pre-investment and pre-lending due diligence or assessment for public sector clients, which include financial assessments, reputational ‘red flag’ checks, transactions advice, business plan appraisals and governance reviews. I also advise local authority trading companies, joint venture partnerships between public and private sector, as well as state-owned commercial vehicles, including advice on their set up, corporate structure and ongoing assessment.
I have extensive experience of appraising businesses and transactions of varying levels of complexity and scale. I have worked with organisations in the UK, Europe and Asia. Key sector experience includes real estate, hospitality and leisure, sports, healthcare (NHS), transport, social care, renewable energy, higher education, construction, manufacturing and business services.
My experience includes the following:
Outside of work, I am a keen badminton player and coach. I founded a community-based badminton club in London.
A methodical approach to investigating and managing risks is vital for protecting the delivery of public services.
The public sector has a duty to manage resources responsibly and achieve value for money.
