Partners in Property Community

During my tenure as a Partner, I played a pivotal role in transforming our business. We transitioned from a single monthly event in Birmingham to a thriving UK-wide property community with events in multiple locations.

▶️ Previous Chapters: A Mix of Entrepreneurial Ventures

2019: I was property trading, buying and selling 22 properties during lockdown.

2018: Completion and sale of my first development of 18 flats, marking my entry into property development.

2017: My first land deal which led to 41 retirement flats being built, a venture that introduced me to the Land Promotion industry. This led me to setup Montague Land with my co-founder where we currently have 500+ plots under contract. I am now an investment partner but continue to take an active interest in the growth of the business.

Before this I've had several business interests over time:
- Gym owner
- Event ticker reseller
- Wedding photographer
- eBay powerseller
- Property community with 500+ members
- AirBNB business operator
- Cleaning business owner
- Car trader


▶️ Foundations: Academia and Early Career

I graduated in Mathematics and went on to get my ACA Chartered Accountancy accreditation whilst training at Deloitte in Corporate Finance. I soon discovered that my true calling extended beyond the traditional corporate path. Entrepreneurial sparks first flew at 15 when I made my first sale, igniting a drive that culminated in years of side-hustles and eventually led to the world of full-time entrepreneurship.


❤️ Social Impact: Malawi

I helped setup water irrigation schemes in Malawi where we have raised over £200k to date, establishing food security to over 10,000 people in perpetuity. Drop me a message to get involved:
