After graduating from the University of Edinburgh, I moved into the financial services sector. Following a period with Rothschilds, I took up employment in a family-owned group of companies and in 2004 became Managing Director of Dentalstyle, which specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of high-quality furniture and equipment for major dental projects across the UK.In 2013, I became Managing Director of Deanestor, the UK’s leading furniture and fit-out specialist to the healthcare sector. I also hold the position of Executive Director of bathroom pod manufacturer, Offsite Solutions.Originally established in 1948 to manufacture hospital furniture and fittings for the newly established NHS, Deanestor now has the resources and expertise to manage 5,000-room hospital projects. It has built on this success and expanded into new markets which have specific fit out requirements for superior aesthetics, strength, and long-term durability. Deanestor is a market leader in the provision of robust and high-quality furniture to construction clients and contractors for healthcare, education, and multi-occupancy buildings such as student residences and major build-to-rent residential schemes.In 2019, Deanestor acquired the Havelock brands out of administration.
