About Me

I’ve spent more than 20 years working in the property industry, leading, building, and advising some of the most successful estate agency businesses in the UK. It’s an industry I’ve grown up in, and one I’m still genuinely passionate about.

I’ve led large, multi-branch estate agency networks, overseen mergers, acquisitions, and disposals, and managed teams through huge periods of change. Most recently, I was CEO of Michael Jones & Brand Vaughan, part of Lomond one of the largest property groups in the country. Before that, I sat on the board of Alexander & Co, driving growth and performance across multiple brands.

Over the years, I’ve seen what makes an agency thrive and what holds it back. My work now focuses on helping business owners build scalable, profitable, and future-ready companies. I do that through a mix of recruitment and consultancy identifying what’s working, what isn’t, and where the biggest opportunities for growth and efficiency lie.

My approach is calm, commercial, and hands-on. No corporate waffle, no endless reports just practical advice that helps owners make sense of their business and move it forward with clarity and confidence.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me attempting a DIY project that’s probably taken twice as long as I said it would, playing a (mostly average) round of golf, or standing on the sidelines watching our three kids play rugby while wondering how mud manages to get everywhere.

What drives me? Helping people and businesses in property evolve by creating smarter systems, stronger performance, and a clearer path to whatever’s next.
