Managing Director

I joined the Board of Inspiral in 2001 and went on to complete an MBO in 2007. Apart from injecting the strategic vision for the company my main role, which I love, is interfacing with new clients and sometimes turning a helpful twist on their business model. I also have my business radar switched on most of the time and love to imagine and appraise new ventures in which Inspiral invests time or money or both.

I have started several businesses over the years, all in the creative and digital sector, the latest being ‘The Hive ' mobile marketing service - the easiest way to save, share or buy your favourite ‘stuff' using the camera on your mobile phone. You can see the first exploitation of this patented technology for the music industry at http://www.musicode.co.uk. I am also the author of ‘Future Perfect - creating the life you want', a book that is the basis of the course I occasionally host in Lanzarote called The Five Paths - http://www.thefivepaths.com.
