Personal Perspective

Born in the North West, I have seen tremendous changes locally down the years. Some could be
judged as good, others as bad – it’s all a matter of perspective but change happens! My role,
now, is to help local business owners embrace and build on change, creating greater wealth for our
community. Building on a successful career working with major corporations my focus now, as an
Action Coach, is squarely on SMEs in the North West and Wales. I’m committed to helping this
backbone of the UK economy grow stronger.
