Family offices, private and impact investors, and institutions. I support investment origination, development, structuring, deployment and due diligence for land- and nature-based opportunities.
From family landholdings to major estates. I work on vision, enterprise, commercial opportunity, capital and the long-term transformation of an estate.
New ventures, corporates and advisory firms. I bring commercial invention, proposition and product development, route to market and revenue strategy.
The acquisition and innovative financing of The Emblehope Estate, a flagship 7,500-acre Northumberland estate secured for landscape restoration.
At RESTORE, I led the commercial and capital development of the project, assembling a blended-capital proposition of approximately £9m that combined institutional debt, private investment and philanthropic capital — working alongside colleagues, lenders, investors and advisers to bring it to completion.
I conceived, developed and launched a new voluntary biodiversity product, creating a commercial mechanism that connects corporate demand with measurable, long-term ecological restoration.
The innovation was designed to translate corporate environmental commitments into a credible source of revenue for landscape recovery.
Leadership of private estates, and some of the UK's most ambitious restoration projects including Aberarder, Belmont, and the pioneering Watercress Farm.
I have led teams, estates and enterprise change: developing rural commercial opportunities, managing ecological transitions and running landholdings as working businesses.
I provide strategic advice, develop investment opportunities and create commercial solutions that turn ambition into lasting value.
I bring together strategic leadership, investment expertise and commercial innovation to create opportunities that others might overlook.
My career spans the leadership of major estates and enterprises, the origination and financing of landscape-scale investments, and the creation of innovative commercial products and markets. I combine the judgment of an experienced executive with the commercial imagination and practical experience to make ambitious propositions successful.
I work directly with every client. Engagements take the form of selective strategic retainers, specific opportunity mandates, and advisory or board relationships.
