My passion is growing businesses. I started out in publishing and advertising, which led me to start a marketing business – now known as Forge.Forge helps businesses grow online. We create sales-led marketing strategies to drive revenue, growth and new business for our clients. Our process transforms existing sales and marketing processes. We help companies put in a marketing process to build their sales pipelines and close deals for new, profitable revenue which adds zeros to a company's valuation if preparing for an exit.I'm a believer in sustainable growth, rather than growth at all costs. And we are proud to have had our commitment to both profit and purpose acknowledged, earning B-Corporation Certification in 2023.When not working, you'll find me swimming in open waters, camping somewhere off-grid or walking up a mountain.More recently I've invested in great businesses including Floe, an innovative oral-health tech startup, and LifeBox, a company aimed at equipping every UK workplace with a defibrillator.
