• Over 17+years’ experience of preparing grant funding applications for clients for R&D and capital investment
• Experienced both at Innovate UK and Government Departments (e.g. DEZNZ, DEFRA) and Horizon Europe.
• I have raised more than €100m for EU clients and over £35m for UK clients.
• Expert evaluator for Horizon Europe and assessor for UKRI.
• Specialist areas are Materials science, Advanced manufacturing, Renewable Energy Technologies, Sustainable process development, Biobased industries, Waste Valorisation and Circular Economy.
• I work with a range of clients from high-tech start-ups, to growing SMEs and onwards to large multinational companies.

My reason for helping clients access funding is to help companies to grow, be more productive and create jobs.

I am passionate about sustainability and so I am dedicated particularly to helping those companies having a positive impact on the environment.

As I am technically minded, I love being involved in innovative emerging technologies at the forefront of technological development.
