Introduction

I am a board-level operational leader with over 40 years’ experience across manufacturing, aerospace, defence-adjacent, rail and complex industrial environments. A former FTSE 250 Group Director and long-standing Managing Director, I specialise in performance recovery, operational stabilisation and value creation in multi-site, asset-intensive businesses. My leadership style is calm, analytical and people-centred. I bring clarity in complex situations, constructively challenge where needed, and focus relentlessly on restoring flow, improving cash generation and strengthening operational resilience. As a fractional executive, I step in quickly, diagnose accurately, align leadership teams and deliver measurable improvement without drama or dependency. I combine strategic oversight with practical execution, ensuring businesses not only improve performance but build sustainable internal capability.
