Having engaged and motivated employees is a major source of competitive advantage, and it is free. You pay people the same whether they are happy or unhappy so invest your time in developing your leadership skills and the right culture.

I hold an MBA and have extensive experience in strategy, leadership, innovation and business growth.
Throughout my career I have been responsible for business strategy, leadership, sales, marketing, innovation, acquisitions and organisational development. I have extensive experience of the construction, engineering and manufacturing sectors and a particular interest in employee engagement, leadership development and creating cultures that enable businesses to achieve sustainable profitable growth.
One of the most important lessons I learned is that business owners are often the biggest obstacle to growth, usually without realising it. That was certainly true of me in the early years. Through mentoring I enjoy helping business owners develop the leadership skills, confidence and perspective needed to build stronger teams, better businesses and more rewarding careers.
I am passionate about supporting Welsh entrepreneurs and helping more Welsh businesses realise their potential and become significant employers within the Welsh economy.
