021 272 8179

Prior to becoming a Business Broker I gained over 30 years’ experience in General Management, Sales, Marketing, and Operations, developing a deep understanding of numerous industries and helped clients navigate sector-specific challenges effectively.

Having both bought and sold my own businesses, I am familiar with the transaction process from multiple perspectives.

As an award-winning salesperson and negotiator, I achieve results. Additionally, my certification as a Business Advisor through the ANZ Institute of Business Advisors enriches my ability to appraise and enhance your opportunity for a better business sale outcome. If it needs a few tweaks to gain more sales value I will tell you.

I value directness and honesty and focus on delivering tangible results, working with complete transparency, I’m known for my straightforward manner and collaborate best with motivated vendors who value my candid style.

Beyond professional pursuits, I am committed to community initiatives, and enjoy cruising in my classic Jaguar convertible, caravanning, and fishing.
