Directs commercial operations and applies an entrepreneurial mindset to develop business, engage customers and generate revenue in challenging circumstances. Enjoys implementing positive change while empowering colleagues to achieve their full potential. Extensive experience in professional services, automotive and sports and leisure. A commercially astute and innovative business leader, specialising in Marketing and Sustainability with a proven track record of generating significant income and planning ambitious yet achievable marketing strategies. Following a corporate career working with major global brands such as Brother, BMW, Nissan, BP and Saracens RFC, both with agencies and in-house. I set up EWO over twenty years ago to provide outsourced marketing expertise and resources to businesses of all sizes. Since then, I have been in the fortunate position to be able to use both my marketing and commercial skills to support a number of charities, most recently as a Trustee and Vice-Chairman for Community Impact Bucks. During the past ten years, I have also been involved in launching CSRA, a global CSR accreditation scheme, working with the board to develop the brand and partnerships globally. My work has allowed me to pursue my growing passion for environmental change, being involved in a number of environmentally focused businesses, acting as an advisor, most noticeably for Design Conformity. A keen sportsman having played rugby to a senior level and in more recent years, competed in triathlons of all distances, I am a firm believer that business can learn a lot from sport. When not working or supporting charities you can find me swimming in a lake or on my bike.
