What are some of your favourite memories of your time at school?
Although my time at Princethorpe was fairly short, it was an important time for me personally. It was a happy and productive time for me over my 3 years.
Were there any teachers or staff who had a significant impact on you?
Sport was my saviour and Mr Price was instrumental in my time at Princethorpe.
What is your current occupation?
I am a strategic board adviser active in the real estate and rural sectors, working with boards, directors, and stakeholders to support strategy, governance, and long-term value creation. I specialise in brokering and facilitating commercial investment transactions alongside strategic land and development opportunities.
Previous to that, I spent nearly 17 years in senior leadership within a privately owned investment business, including four years as Chief Executive Officer, leading the organisation through multiple phases of growth and diversification across property and investment activities.
Are there any special achievements or milestones you’d like to share?
I am lucky to be a Course Director at Warwick Racecourse, which I thoroughly enjoy, and I am Founding Director of Frago Investments Ltd.
What hobbies or interests do you have outside of your professional life?
I enjoy being in the countryside and horseracing. We also have a small holding at home with a small flock of rare breed sheep and ponies. I also particularly enjoy helping and supporting people develop and grow professionally and personally.
What motivated you to join the alumni committee?
I enjoy giving back and helping support the network of community that surrounds Princethorpe College.
How do you hope to contribute to the school community through the alumni committee?
Hopefully I will add value by using some of my experience to date alongside helping the team deliver the strategies and actions agreed.
