I have over 20 years of experience in due diligence and more than a decade of direct investment in innovative and emerging projects. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with investors, SMEs, micro-businesses, inventors, and early-stage ventures, as well as small towns and regional initiatives that are frequently overlooked by conventional advisory models.

This work has given me first-hand insight into how limited meaningful, high-quality support can be for those who need it most — particularly for innovators whose ideas are practical, evidence-led, and not driven by short-term trends or sector hype.

I founded NorthStar Consulting UK to address this gap.

NorthStar was established to go beyond generic training, drop-in advice, or superficial mentoring. Our focus is on taking credible ideas and supporting their creators through the process of becoming investment-ready, commercially viable, and market-ready.

I draw on extensive experience in risk analysis, due diligence, and reputation management, as well as long-standing relationships across academia, finance, and specialist technical disciplines. Crucially, NorthStar Consulting UK operates through a trusted network of experienced professionals — individuals with proven track records who are selected because they can be relied upon to deliver work to the required standard, properly and without compromise.

Under my leadership, NorthStar provides advanced market research and strategic analysis, combining academic and research-led rigour with tools that simulate real-world environments and operational scenarios. This ensures our clients receive robust, defensible insight that supports informed decision-making, funding discussions, and sustainable growth.
