Most of my time is currently spent working with Sandton Capital Partners – a special situations investor.
Since 2009, Sandton has executed transactions totalling approximately $1.5 billion across a diverse range of industries, geographies and financial structures. We specialize in providing solutions for situations that are too difficult for more traditional sources of capital to navigate.
I also currently support a retired High Court Judge leading the RBS GRG remediation process on behalf of the FCA and am also a NeX Director at NextBase dashcams – one of the UK’s leading automotive electronic brands.
Before joining Sandton as a Senior Advisor, I enjoyed a 34 year career with Lloyds Banking Group leading teams focused on Mid Corporate Business Support and prior to that leveraged debt finance, typically in support of PE led change of ownership.
