Dave has spent all of his working life in the SME sector, where he has been part of, and advised on, a significant number of business angel funded businesses. He was also part of the Turnaround Team at Merseyside Special Investment Fund which assisted portfolio companies in distressed situations. He originally worked for an accountancy practice in Liverpool (Malthouse & Co.) and dealt with a general mix of clients together with all of their creative clients. Dave then changed careers and worked as a technician in most of the theatres across Liverpool, before becoming co-owner of a Theatre in Education (TIE) company. He then went on to set up another smaller scale TIE/vocal workshop company;was Financial Director of a toy and game importer and distributor and then set up his own board game manufacturing business. All of this has allowed him to gain the holistic knowledge and understanding of the SME growth journey to support other businesses.

I provide practical, hands on advice and support to owner managed businesses throughout the North West.

An experienced Commercial Director and Interim Manager, I work with the management team to define goals and organise business priorities, providing a fresh approach that targets a step change in performance and improved bottom line.

A growth specialist rather than sector specialist, I can help you take your business from good to great. Building on the vision and commercialising ideas, I can bolster the leadership with a structured approach that builds momentum and accelerates growth, increasing one recent client’s net profit by 22%.

In the currently changing environment, businesses are facing new challenges with a need to reassess:

• Financial position

• HR

• Customer base

• Supplier relationships

• New business model?

Is that expertise to hand?

I can offer that fresh pair of eyes without the overhead of employment, interim management or consultancy on a part time basis, tailored to suit all budgets.
