I have vast experience of creating and turning companies into a success, including:Setting up my first Business called Just Temps Ltd, after 3 years trading I sold the Company to a national Recruitment Company and remained as Managing Director for a 12 month period.In 2007 I bought a Recruitment Company in Bromley called Mainline Resourcing which provided several Train Operating Companies like Anglian Railways and South eastern with temporary staff. On average we would provide up to 300 temps every day and the yearly turnover grew to £2.5m.I sold the Business to Berry Recruitment in 2014.In 2016 I took a stake in a Start-Up business called Libertatem Healthcare Limited and funded the growth for two years. In 2018 my co-Directors bought my entire shareholding for a multiple of four times net profit. Today the Business is worth in excess of £8m.In 2020, I took a stake in Start-Up company called Whitefin SL which has its Head Office based in Barcelona. Whitefin is currently generating sales of £2m per month. We have ten staff and we will be shortly opening up a new Branch in Cyprus.In May 2021 I took a stake in a Start-Up Recruitment Company called Human Recruitment Group Ltd. It is well ahead of the forecasted budget and the original team of two is now Four and the Company is based in Basingstoke.

Various Property refurbishment in and around my home town of Ashford, Kent.My wife and I bought an old Grade Two Listed Hall House called Bell House, which no one had lived in for over 10 years. It didn’t have any electricity or water supply. We bought it for £400,000 and after spending almost ten years refurbishing it we sold it for £1.165m.In February 2014 we bought another Grade Two Listed Hall House called The Cloth Hall.We have recently completed refurbishing it to a very high standard and developing all three of the outbuilding comprising a Large three bedroom Barn, A separate Cottage and we have developed a stable into a one bedroomed studio.We have also set up a Short Term Holiday Lettings Business called Heritage Holiday Lettings Ltd.

When I initially got involved, the Football Club was near the bottom of the Doc Martens League and over £200,000 in debt.Together with another Director, I made several loans available and took over the running of the Commercial side of the Business, selling advertising around the pitch and in the match day programmes.At the end of the second season, we won Promotion to The Doc Marten Premier League and we went on a successful FA Cup run where we played Fulham FC in a game that SKY tv televised and paid us £80,000.The following year we went on another FA Cup run and played Watford FC in the Third Round.I played a part in selling the club to an Investor from London and left the Club debt free.
