Delivering knowledge, understanding and confidence to forward-thinking business owners who need the right commercial premises
Too often I see business owners enter into the world of commercial property with little or no knowledge of which premises are right for their business, or how the lease negotiation process works. As a result, they are likely to miss things and can sometimes be taken advantage of, or worse, they end up relying on the landlord or their agent for guidance. Why is that bad? Because they will not tell you the very things you need to know, since those are the things that might prejudice the outcome for them.
My mission is to empower business owners just like you to easily and quickly understand the key information, so you can make the right choices for you and your business. Book a free mentoring call with me and let’s get to know each other better.
Helping you take control of your commercial property decisions
My job is to ensure you make the best possible decisions about your commercial property, be that through searching for new premises, relocation, or renegotiating your existing lease. The key question I help you to understand and answer, is: ‘What does the business need?’
Following a career as a Commercial Property Agent and in mortgage risk profiling, in 1996 I decided to start a business focusing on sharing my extensive knowledge of the commercial property world with those who really need it: forward thinking business owners who want to get ‘leasing their premises’ right. As your commercial property consultant, I am passionate about ensuring you acquire a property/lease that doesn’t just meet the demands of your business, but actively delivers to your bottom line.
With 35 years of industry experience, you’re in safe hands
I have over 35 years of experience in commercial property and have helped 1000s of businesses of varying industries, and sizes, with a wide variety of commercial property challenges, often saving multiples of their investment with me. I have a proven track record of successful projects ranging from start-ups and micro SMEs to major institutions across Hampshire, London and the UK. As a fellow of RICS, you can also be reassured that I uphold the highest professional standards.
Whether I handle some or all of the process on your behalf; whether I support you to do it yourself, my job, as your commercial property advisor and commercial lease negotiator, is to ensure you understand, find and negotiate the right commercial premises for your business, on the right terms.

The face behind the business
When I’m not out about visiting clients or at my desk getting stuck into the terms of a commercial lease, you can find me in my garden growing vegetables, in the kitchen cooking or baking with the family, walking the dog or cycling around the beautiful Hampshire countryside. I am also deeply committed to two charities, each in their own way, helping “the underserved” and this also feeds directly back to what I do in a professional capacity, for my clients.
I also love to travel more widely in the UK and Europe, and try to take a few trips away in the motorhome each year. Whilst I believe in working hard to create the best outcomes for my clients, I also believe a healthy business needs a healthy business owner. I’m a regular on LinkedIn and well known for my baking and farming analogies - let’s connect and get to know each other better.
