Berks County was founded in 2009 and has grown to become a leading Football Club in Berkshire. With over 30 teams across all ages, for Boys and Girls, as well as a successful First Team, Berks County is a club that offers so much to its 500 members and the wider community. I've delighted to be working closely with the trustees to help develop the commercial elements of the club through events, sponsorship and fund raising.

I spent a ‘secretive’ 3 months working along side my great friend Jeremy Dale, enabling the future purchase of Birmingham City Football Club. We spent 3 months completing full due diligence looking at all aspects of the organisation including Commercial Contracts, Stadium infrastructure, Fan engagement as well as player and staffing levels. We built a business plan to demonstrate the future potential of the club that was used to attract new investors. I’m extremely pleased on July 13th 2023, Tom Wagner and his Knighthead Capital team finalised the acquisition of 45% of the Club and 100% of St Andrews stadium – Enabling a new exciting future for BCFC.
