Qualifications:

BSc (Hons) Geophysics, ACA

Profile:

I am a qualified Chartered Accountant and spent many years with accountancy firms KPMG and Grant Thornton advising clients on buying and selling businesses and raising finance. In 2019, I set up my own advisory business, Confianza Advisory, working on a part time project basis.

I am Chair of Governors at Monkspath Junior and Infant School in Solihull and a trustee of a charity called Baby Lifeline that supports mother and child pre- and post-birth. I enjoy swimming, cycling, tennis and cooking for family and friends.

I am married to Emma and our three children attended schools in the Princethorpe Foundation between 2014 and 2025 where they benefited from a great education and pursuit of a range of extracurricular activities. For several years as a parent volunteer I have enjoyed supporting the Interview Skills Day for sixth form students.

I am looking forward to maintaining our family connection with the Foundation by supporting its continuing and developing work as a Trustee.
