Co-founder & Investor

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.

I helped establish a robust online community, which not only facilitated the nationwide presence of the brand but also generated a recurring revenue stream that continued beyond my tenure as I went on to pursue other ventures.

Partner & Growth Marketer

Anytime Fitness

I served as the owner and operator of an award winning Anytime Fitness franchise located in the Midlands where we built a thriving community of fitness enthusiasts.

Managing Director

Deloitte

This is where I began my professional career, undertaking accountancy training whilst working in the Corporate Finance team in Birmingham, UK.

I achieved the coveted ACA chartered accountancy qualification through a comprehensive 15-exam journey with all first time passes. I specialised in financial restructuring, corporate turnaround, and insolvency procedures, whilst acquiring a robust foundation in the fundamentals of accounting.

▶️ 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:
