I was born and grew up in Sutton Coldfield in the UK. and after finishing school went on to gain a bachelors degree in statistics and operational research at Coventry University. The first 20 years of my career were spent working for large corporates in a variety of roles and departments until my transition into self employment in 2003 via the franchise route with Auditel.

I moved for family reasons to the Netherlands in 2009 and set about gaining Dutch book-keeping and business administration qualifications. Spncr. Business Cost Reduction was formed in 2017.  As well as managing business overhead costs for my own clients I also offer consultancy in project management, software selection and implementation and  business administration. I also offer a bureau service for cost analysis to other consultancies, and spend the rest of my time managing the business aspects of my wife's medical practice in North Holland. Although I speak Dutch my written reports are presented in English.
