01 The Beginning
02 What I do
After spending 15 years running and growing a building products business from start-up to the point where annual sales were in excess of £45m (winging it all the way). We eventually exited the business to a U.S PLC in January 2018 in a $100m deal. Having also taken Private Equity investment during the final three years of that journey, I learnt what key investments drive stakeholder value in a business. For us our end-to-end digitalisation and a tech enabled route to market added tonnes, but it was painstakingly difficult to execute and getting it done was confusing, expensive and time consuming.
A 6:15 work-out of some description, followed by a coffee or can of Nocco’s, sometimes both! Then catch up on the business news and push the business strategy forwards. We have a fantastic team that are all hugely ambitious (and hungry), so it’s my job to feed that ambition (and their bellies) on a daily basis, in a non David Brent kind of way. I maintain our relationships with our key external partners and I am always on the lookout for growth opportunities whether that be organic or through acquisition.
Game changers are incredibly rare. For me, it’s about continuous innovation
