About The Firm
I have had a passion for engineering and particularly automotive engineering since boyhood. As I left school in the midst of the 1980’s recession the opportunity to follow a career in engineering was limited.
By the age of 22 I found myself running a small garage business. I loved the work did a great quality job and had lots of happy customers.
However I was working long hours and wasn’t making any money from it and that was a problem because as the years went by I watched my friends buy houses drive around in new cars and work much fewer hours than me. I had to find a way to turn things around. I didn’t know who to turn to and I couldn’t afford to pay for advice.
I ended up doing a business studies qualification through evening classes at what is now John Moores university in Liverpool. I enjoyed it so much I was persuaded to go on and study accounting. Through a friend on the course I landed a job as a junior accountant, sold my garage business and set my course for what became the rest of my working life.
