I have contributed to board level strategy development for larger organisations including Freelancer.com, and UK Youth. At the other end of the spectrum I have provided strategic input and advice to micro-enterprises on admin, management, marketing and technology issues for over two decades.I have a strong interest in modern forms of investment and fundraising, particularly crowdfunding. In 2005 I was one of the first people to crowdfund capital to start a business online. No crowdfunding platforms existed, so I used ebay to sell shares in the revenue from terminals at an Internet Cafe. This innovative approach led to shortlisting for the Shell LiveWire Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Since founding Matthews Yard I have raised over £200,000 through crowdfunding, community loans and investment. Our PR and online communication strategies have played a pivotal role in helping make Croydon an appealing place to work, rest and play and positioned Matthews Yard at "the vanguard of Croydon's regeneration".

Chief ExecutiveMatthews Yard Sep 2011 - Nov 2024Croydon, United KingdomMatthews Yard operates a 12,000 sq ft hub for creatives which includes a combination of coworking space, theatre, live music room, rehearsal space and a selection of studios for artists and creative professionals. These are complemented by a cafe and bar, operated by award-winning concession Brgr&Beer, the best restaurant in Croydon according to Time Out readers. Opened in response to the Croydon riots, one of my goals with MY was to combat the negative perception of Croydon, while capitalising on opportunities to meet the needs of the creative community in one of London’s most populous boroughs. In 2014 Matthews Yard was selected as one of six case studies featured in the GLA report on Incubators, Accelerators and Coworking spaces. A key outcome of this piece of work was the Open Workspace Providers Network. Matthews Yard was singled out for its unique offer and being a fine example of an outer London creative space. Matthews Yard benefits hundreds of local entrepreneurs and community groups and tens of thousands of Croydon residents. We are one of a rare breed of workspaces which looks beyond the conventional needs of users. Our goal is to meet the much broader spatial needs of today’s and tomorrow’s creative businesses and entrepreneurs. To provide them with more value, more flexibility and more sustainability than a conventional landlord would even consider.
