About Alan
I have experience working with SME’s, start-ups and family run businesses and am looking for positions anywhere in the UK. I offer a very hands on approach to my duties as I like to get deeply involved with the company with which I am working.
Having been in business for over 40 years, I have built up a varied list of contacts from all disciplines.
I have been an advisor to a few businesses, guiding the boards on growth matters. Recently advised a client on the acquisition of another business as part of their growth plan. Advised a new client on the sale of his business so he can retire gracefully. This was successfully completed at the end of 2021. Looking for more deals as I enjoy putting people together. I also specialise in the GDPR, with emphasis now on how it work with AI.
Married to Diane, living in Bushey Heath, Hertfordshire after having moved from Glasgow in 2010. After leaving Glasgow University in the 70s, I went into the computer industry working in a bureau until PCs started to make their way into the business community. Since leaving there, I have set up and run a few companies at a senior level.

Navigating the requirements of GDPR can be complex, but with Alan's knowledge and expertise he ensures your business not only compiles with the regulations but will thrive within them!! There's not many GDPR consultants who can do that! His approachable manner makes him easy to work with and he builds a fantastic rapport and trust with all his clients and colleagues.
