Bringing people and companies together in the UK and around the world has been my life. From Hong Kong to Cornwall - it's seeing that spark of a new partnership ignite that drives me forward. Partnerships are often diverse and can comprise a cross-section from local communities, public and private sector, seeking a range of appropriate funding for a variety of regeneration projects.

Successful applications for funding have ranged from £500 to over £2m. Whatever the sum involved my interest remains the same - the satisfaction is in achieving the way forward for the project.
