Experience

I started my consulting career in May 2000 after spending five years as the financial manager of a charity. I have worked on 198 formal projects since then. Several of these projects spanned multiple years and contained sub-projects.

I have served a large range of organisations. In some instances I worked under my own brand; in others, I was part of the teams of organisations such as Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Citizen Surveys, Community Enterprise, Cranfield Trust, Imani Development and Social Enterprise Academy.
