As Totalamber’s Chairman, I take responsibility for ensuring Totalamber’s Board delivers a strategic business plan to support the growth and expansion of the business. Over the next 3-5 years, we have ambitious plans to dominate our current markets, expand into new markets with our portfolio of services, and grow the business operations in our chosen territories of the UK, Europe, Asia / Middle East and the USA. Through a combination of organic growth and inorganic growth through mergers and acquisition of key businesses and synergistic partners, my main objective is to have Totalamber seen as the first choice for support and consultancy services by all our clients and prospective clients. I will make sure the governance and controls are in place to support these plans and ensure the Board is focused on maximizing stakeholder value for the business, ensuring all stakeholders (employees, consultants, clients, partners and shareholders) benefit from the growth of this business. With experience gained in building up companies in both the IT and Football sectors, I have a network of trusted and knowledgeable advisers who will facilitate the growth and expansion of this business. As Chairman of Totalamber, I will also play an active role in major account management, working with Totalamber’s leading clients and business partners, ensuring their aims and objectives are being met during both the sales and delivery activities. Working closely with Totalamber’s sales and delivery teams I want to ensure Totalamber’s guiding principles of maximizing tangible business benefit by our clients from Totalamber’s services are at the forefront of each project.Finally, I want to make sure that Totalamber’s goes beyond the call of duty in delivering exceptional services to all stakeholders.

As the Deputy Chairman and major shareholder of Everton Football Club I have overseen the dramatic reversal in Everton’s fortunes, making Everton one of the leading Premiership Football clubs in the UK today, competing in the top division for a record 110 seasons and winning the League Championship nine times.Everton has been at the forefront of English football ever since the Club was formed in 1878. From the pioneering days of St. Domingo, the story is one that I and every Evertonian is quite rightly proud of.

Ocean Software Ltd (also known in the United States as Ocean of America, Inc.), commonly referred to as Ocean, was a British software development company, that became one of the biggest European video game developers/publishers of the 1980s and 1990s. It was acquired by Infogrames in 1996 and renamed to Infogrames UK in 1998, and again in 2004 to Atari UK, and once again in 2009 now known as Atari, Inc.After over a decade of success in the gaming industry, Ocean Software was sold to French company Infogrames in April 1996 for US$100 million.The company was founded by David Ward and myself and was based in Manchester. At Ocean we developed dozens of games for a variety of systems such as the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, MSX, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 16, Atari ST, Amiga, PC, and video game consoles such as the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Master System and Sega Mega Drive.The company's early releases in 1984 (Moon Alert, Hunchback, High Noon, Gilligan's Gold, Daley Thompson's Decathlon etc.) were developed in-house, but later in that year Ocean Software acquired its former Liverpool rival, the defunct software developer Imagine, and focus shifted from development to publication of games. Also in 1984, Ocean struck a deal with Konami to publish their arcade games for home computers.
