John McAulay

I am MD of Caledonian Management Consultants assisting clients with strategy, financial modelling, fund raising and business expansion. Also, we assist with production, product promotion, product placement, branding, plus risk analysis and risk management associated with these activities.

We act for UK, Eastern European, Russian and Middle Eastern clients.

Previously, I worked for PW - prior to PWC - mainly on corporate and international taxation, then in the corporate finance division of a major bank.

With these employers I have worked for some of the best professional brains in business - invaluable experience.

Life will always be a challenge. The pace of change grows faster every day and I am always willing to learn by direct study, the example of others, the success of others and from those less fortunate. Thanks to all who have supported and advised me over the years and particularly the many who continue in that role.

I have many interests outwith food and travelling. I enjoy music, current affairs here in the UK and overseas, the Scottish countryside, botany and in sport, tennis and F1.
