Chair

Entrepreneurs and Businesses require input at different stages. From going back to rediscover your reason why, to taking the time to understand your annual cycle and the manner in which you can best exploit the down and the high seasons, to simply identifying a small blockage - I help businesses see what they are, understand what they've become, what makes them tick and what’s stopping them from succeeding. 

I'm often asked to assist with strategy, where I help create business owners gain clarity, to successfully build and execute their strategic vision that allows for stable growth, moving from one place of commercial balance, to another. 

As a creative, serial entrepreneur, with significant SME board level experience, my ability to see analytically and visualise strategically is one of the skills that others can leverage. Due to my industry experience, most of the businesses I help these days are property related, but business is business and my experience proves to be adaptable across many industries and sectors. 

I'm used to Start-Up culture, enjoying the energy that it brings and the creativity required to make it happen. I have always enjoyed jumping in at the deep end, but as I've aged, I've matured, and I've learned to appreciate more the important skills of financial modelling, compliance, legals etc. Increasingly my motto is "growth with less risk"

Networking is really important and we encourage you to go to different property networking events as you can to find out which are best suited to your personal requirements. We believe that the Pin events set the standard for quality.

Helping Investors Operate Residential Property as a Business

Are you investing in property in the UK already? 

Are you planning on investing in UK property this year? 

★ The first thing to realise is that Property is not an investment like shares or gold. 
Property is a business. Property needs tending to. Property has many variables - tenants, interest rates, changes in lending criteria and fluctuating market values. Anyone who tells you that property is passive income is lying. 

Property relies on cash flow, and when the cash flows well, a property business can give you financial security in a way little else can. 

Having been the host of the largest Property Investors Network meeting in the United Kingdom and a London property investor with more than 25 years experience, I enjoy helping a select few people achieve financial security for their future. 

★ I can work with you to plan a strategy that will suit your skills and your needs, your likes and your desires. I can guide you through the pitfalls and challenges of investing in property in London, helping you to create a portfolio that acts as a cash machine. 

I can teach you the systems you need to implement to ensure a secure business model, to reduce voids and debt, and to safeguard against interest rate rises and market swings. 

★ Amateur investors buy property hoping it will go up in value. Then they spend time or money (or both) on it for years while they wait. And if they are lucky, they retire in a boom and see the benefits of their investment. 

Professional Investors operate property and make cash flow from the start. They see a return for their investment. If (and yes I did say if) the market rises they can make lump sums of money and see more returns, but they will always have the cash flow. 

Which would you rather be? 

★ I am happy to give Free Advice on how to create an investment strategy and secure your financial future through property.

Steady Rent Limited

★★ Steady Rent offers very decent and reliable rental payments to Landlords, taking care of the management as part of the process. 

★★ Steady Rent works with Charities, helping them to provide housing for their Service Users. We also work with charities, generating income for them to help them pay for the care they want and need to provide. 

SR specialises in providing housing for women who find themselves outcasts from society. Starting with those suffering abuse who finally wanted to leave the perpetrator, and expanding to assist those recently discharged from prison, recovering from drug abuse. Those who are vulnerable or at risk and who want to turn their lives around. We assist charities to help these single women (and often their children) find a better life and build a better future. A percentage of all rents are used as donations to charities providing care.

Chief Executive Officer

The Cooperative Property Company

Ethical Solutions - Prosperous Investment. The Cooperative Property Company is a residential portfolio owner and manager concentrating mainly on tenants claiming benefits. 

As the founder and Director with knowledge of the investment location and the greatest real estate experience, I conceived, tested and perfected the asset management strategy and the operational procedures to carry it out successfully.

Steady Construction Ltd

Undertaking medium size renovation projects on behalf of clients, Steady Construction provided turnkey solutions - from conceptual design through building work and decoration to completion. A full delivery service. 
I founded the company after completing a very extensive renovation project where I gained experience of every trade, while my design background and education allowed me to please home owner clients with innovative and budget appropriate solutions for bathrooms, kitchens, lofts and extensions. 
Understanding and having experience of the roles of all sub-contractors, I oversaw projects, stepping in as needed to keep projects on time and budget, and to ensure quality control. We succeeded in delighting all home owner clients, who frequently re-engaged. 
My own development company was our major client, for which we undertook dozens of refurbishments, and the design elements within proved very successful with both tenants and purchasers.

Interiors, Furniture and Branding

Interior Design for Shops, Restaurants and Private Houses. 
Branding and Furniture Prototyping for SMEs and for personal satisfaction. 
Clients included Footlocker, Mothercare, Solar Century and Bacardi.

Freelance Designer

A trusted advisor, I help businesses plan, systemise, navigate market changes and execute expansion efficiently. 
Creative, strategic and growth focused. An entrepreneur with significant SME board level experience. I work with leaders. 

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. 
I thrive on providing value and I enjoy participating with others to execute on opportunity. If you think I might play a useful part in something you're doing, please get in touch to discuss.

As a Business Advisor, and sometimes Mentor, I work with owners/operators, often in real estate, helping them gain clarity in a macro, micro, and importantly an annual cycle perspective - to understand the point their business is at, where it has the ability to get to, to see the map that will enable the required transition and growth and to help them reach the decisions along the way and the goal itself. 

Historically based in real estate, most recently I grew a £500M development pipeline of alternative assets as Co-Founder, Development Director and then Chief Operating Officer of Prosperity Capital. During this time, I set the development strategy, recruited and managed the Origination and Development Management team, running the office in London. I subsequently assisted with disposal of each asset to institutional investment funds. Concentrating Alternative Real Estate Assets including Build to Rent and PBSA, Prosperity Capital targeted a standard setting model of private rental accommodation, encouraging communities to develop through blind tenure principles and the sensible implementation of interactive communal spaces. The intention - to build loyalty with tenant customers and through this drive excellent long term returns for investors, creating community focused living environments.

Over my career I have grown businesses in design, construction, asset ownership and development. I have learned to work on strategy and its implementation to enable scalability. I also appreciate the value of providing support to the team that makes an organisation run and succeed and of empowering individuals within to bring their best value to the table and enjoy the process. 

Starting my career in art, design and branding, I come from a creative background and this enables me to leave the box when it’s valuable to do so, finding solutions when challenges arise and to spot opportunities, be they nearby or on the horizon. 

Outside of work, I love Cooking, Music, Art, Skiing and my beautiful wife and two surprisingly well adjusted children. And I'm grateful every day for what I've got.
