Whilst making my first film alongside Liam Neeson (Star Wars) and being directed by John Mackenzie (The Long Good Friday), I managed to continue my studies, eventually qualifying in at Leeds College of Building. I continued my acting career with a number of TV and stage appearances before opting to 'rest' & focus on my career in business, largely due to having a face that was (I'm told) "perfect for radio". I secured some great results for employers before finally setting up my first business in 1999. I have operated at Board Level ever since, working with a wide variety of small & national businesses and now offer Business Consultancy & Executive Coaching to business owners and managers.

I am also an experienced Energy Manager, and has completed hundreds of successful energy projects over the last 7 years . I advise SME's, Large Corporates and Blue Chip clients and regularly speak at National Business and Energy Events.

I also facilitate Energy Management training courses for various organisations, including the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.

I founded 'Voice' (The Voltage Optimisation Industry Council for Excellence' in 2014 at the request of Lord Redesdale, establishing a Code of Conduct & a Code of Practice to address some major issues in that industry.
