Working on
Acquiring established SMEs across the UK with SAB Partners. Founder succession, patient capital, long horizons. We look for businesses with thirty-plus years of trading history, durable customer relationships, and an owner ready to pass the baton.
Mentoring
A small handful of founders through B Ventures. The work is mostly shining a flashlight on hard questions, knowing fully well I don't have the answers. Capacity is finite and I want to give the people I work with real attention, so I'm not taking on anyone new at the moment.
Reading and thinking about
Succession economics. What actually transfers when a founder hands over a thirty-year business, and what gets quietly lost. Why most "buy-&-build" stories aren't, on closer inspection.
Reachable for
Conversations with founders facing succession decisions, with operators thinking about their next chapter, and with anyone whose questions I might be able to help sharpen. Less so for pitches, which is what LinkedIn is for.
