Supporting your Company's Financial  Roadmap

Ian Marchant, Founder Director, Dunelm Energy Ltd  Chairman, Thames Water Ltd

"I have known Alan for nearly 30 years and he has worked directly for me for some of that time. Over that time I have witnessed his integrity and professionalism and seen his experience develop and deepen.  He is an approachable person, who has added a lot of value to the assignments and senior positions/directorships he has held across a vast range of business types and company life cycles. With all the work he carried out at SSE and the ventures businesses, he has developed a good portfolio of FD skills including external party relationships, internal managerial skills and being a valuable member of any team. I have no hesitation in recommending Alan to support any business.”

Gregor Alexander, Finance Director, SSE plc

“ I have known Alan for around 20 years. Alan is a professional accountant who has extensive experience in the utilities sector and also has significant experience in dealing with start ups and venture capital. He is a hard working individual who is always fully committed to the role he takes on. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alan to deal with any role ranging from interim Finance Director to activities such as business plan modelling, due diligence work, accounting reviews and accounting services”

Adrian Pike, Founder and Chairman, InstaVolt Ltd

"I have known Alan for over ten years and as MD for SSE Contracting, Telecoms and Utility Solutions, he reported to me, providing financial support/control for the SSE National Development initiative, including financial control to a JV with Forth Ports, Finance Director to SSE Sustainability Community Interest Company and Director of SSE Micro Renewables Ltd, which facilitated a “solar for free” offering.
In 2010/11, as Financial Controller, he reported to me as Chief Executive, Anesco Ltd, for all financial matters including interaction with all external intermediaries (venture capitalists, auditors, banks, HMRC, etc), along with all management, financial and statutory reporting. 
Alan is an experienced professional with integrity, is a highly regarded team player & leader, and has a valuable input, and consequential output, to the success of fast track businesses as seen with Anesco, which became the fastest growing start-up/small business for two consecutive years as per the Sunday Times.
He has built up a widespread array of business skills and his high level of work ethics is visible. Having worked with Alan over this period of time, I would recommend him, without any hesitation, to anyone who is looking for someone of this calibre to be a part of an executive/non-executive team for their business.
I wouldn’t have any doubt in recommending Alan."
