About

For the past 25 years, I've navigated the dynamic world of entrepreneurship. Here's my story: I've had two exits, and helped many business owners grow by acquiring businesses and achieving successful trade sales or IPOs. Today, I am the Founder & CEO of JustFix: a tech company on a mission to modernise the home maintenance sector. But it all started for me in 1998, when I founded iChoose Radio, a forerunner to Spotify. It was also the first company to stream live from Glastonbury. By 2007, I had moved on from iChoose Radio and went on to co-found a new digital agency, Saint, which would go on to win agency of the year, twice, in 2011. In 2012, I joined a digital marketing agency called Weapon7 within the Omnicom network, where I assumed the role of CEO. At this time, I drove new business and won clients such as Bacardi and a little-known start-up called Headspace. Then, in 2016 I began a new career adventure with The Marketing Group Plc as CEO, where I focused on mergers and acquisitions, investor relations, and business optimisation. 2021, I launched JustFix. My journey has been full of valuable lessons, and I'd love to share them with the world.
