My background was in business development/ strategy/ sales and marketing within a large corporate, before I established my own promotional marketing company (Add Value), which I ultimately sold after 20 years. I then established my current business Buyologists, where I help (midsized) businesses save money by buying better and doing better deals, building on my strengths in negotiation and procurement honed through my previous business. I have also set up my own charity, Café Outside the Square, helping provide support to vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the community. Finally, I also dabble in (residential) property development.
