Financial DirectorLiquid Fleet Ltd Oct 2022 - PresentUnited Kingdom -
Business ManagerBernhard Baron Cottage Homes Jan 2010 - Apr 2020Polegate, East SussexBernhard Baron Cottage Homes is a charity providing care for older persons. A completely new 'industry' for me and a two year contract became a permanent position. Almost six years later I am still discovering what a fantastic business sector and what opportunities. Slight difference in this particular case in that it is a charity, so no shareholders.Key lesson: invest in the future and do not rest on the laurels of the past. -
DirectorCrowdahead Ltd Jun 2012 - May 2015London, United KingdomCrowdAhead has developed an equity based crowdfunding site with the mission: simply equity crowdfunding. What a wonderful concept - funding, the internet, information, everything comes together. Lets hope the regulators come to understand it and help us drive out the current costs and inefficiencies of raising money - especially for small companies.I have personally withdrawn for health reasons but support CrowdAhead in its mission through and through.Key lesson: crowdfunding will replace bank lending and most stockmarkets over time.

EditorEnterprise Britain Apr 2009 - Jan 2015Hastings And The Rest Of BritainWeekly blogs on behalf of our country's four point nine million business owners and manager. It started as a little aside and just grew and now just keeps on going. Great for networking and what a name - thank you to the people who came up with the name and to Gordon Brown (remember him?) and David Cameron for mentioning us. -
AdviserStartersfund Jul 2011 - May 2012London, United KingdomStartersFund looked at developing a crowdfunding site aimed at being the first Europe wide and subsequently global equity crowdfunding site. Walk before you run is what we advisers recommended, but what a great team.Lesson 2: do not set up your company offshore if you want to have credibility in the UK (as we advised).

AdviserLpw Group Jan 2009 - Dec 2009Huddersfield (Again?) And The Rest Of The UkLPW provides truck washing facilities thereby 'protecting the brand' of its clients, as once seen on Dragons Den (at least a company which LPW acquired before the Dragons moved in). Sometimes family companies are best left to the family, but a brilliant concept.
-
DirectorPlus Fund Plc 2008 - 2009LondonA private investment vehicle which ultimately did not fit into my plans.
-
Acting CeoDtt Plc Oct 2007 - Nov 2008SuffolkAt the request of investors attempted turnaround of this small PLUS listed company. I never knew that training in truck driving could be such a great business. Sadly, the other lessons included that a company of this size should never be listed - perhaps it was the first step towards crowdfunding. As Lehman Brothers disappeared with its A-rating our funding disappeared too and we handed it over to the administrators. At least they made a bundle.
-
CeoCity Car Club Aug 2003 - Aug 2007Huddersfield And The Rest Of The UkExpanded the network from 4 towns to 7, the fleet from 35 cars to 250, membership from 350 to 7,000 and automated the signup procedure reducing time from application to 'able to drive' from 3 weeks to 20 minutes. Staffing kept at under 25 during this time. Efficiency was not a word much used in this industry at the time, where the focus seemed to be social inclusion and the environment - I learned what TOIL meant and it had nothing to do with working hard. The company was taken to a strong commercial operation where it was in a position to hand over the reigns for the next phase of growth and City Car Club still has the biggest network of cars in the UK.
-
CeoAcis Oct 1998 - Aug 2003Loudwater And Cambridge And The Rest Of The UkHard work, luck and a great team helped to turn this business disaster into the UK market leader,with firsts in GPS tracking, SMS information provision, internet tracking - these things were new then especially in the bus industry. The company was sold at major profit for investors.
-
Managing DirectorWillhire Group Ltd Oct 1990 - Sep 1998Barton Mills, Suffolk And The Rest Of East AngliaMedium sized rental company with 20 locations throughout East Anglia all operating under the Willhire brand as well as being a large Hertz franchise operation. 8 great years with lots of fun, stresses, new friends and a new country I have not left since.The company was sold to Arriva, who later sold their rental operations to Northgate.
-
European Credit Manager, Treasurer, Company SecretaryTip Europe Plc Apr 1985 - Apr 1990Amsterdam And The Rest Of EuropeEurope's largest trailer rental company. A wonderful time with a MBO followed by the first flotation simultaneously on the London and Amsterdam stock exchanges and no we were not the gang with a similar name. Key lesson: business is fun.
-
Banking OfficerBanque Indosuez Nederland Sep 1982 - Apr 1985Amsterdam, The NetherlandsNot the most exciting time of my life, but I learned a lot, like do not try to be a banker if you are not.
-
ControllerNicco Inc Mar 1981 - Aug 1982Florham Park, NjNothing like starting in the shoe business - at least you start at the bottom. A wonderful year where I learned about the trials and tribulations of working in the subsidiary of a private Dutch company based in the US. All this before internet! Try sending a business plan by Telex!The owner was being robbed - hence my appointment. We managed to sell it, but it was not a pretty sight.
-
Trainee And Banking OfficerBankers Trust Sep 1978 - Feb 1981New York, NyI could have become an accountant I guess, but chose banking. The best training course in the world and lots of good friends.But banking was not for me. Later I found out why - Bankers Trust took the lead in big swinging d...s. Not my type, but good fun.
