I have spent my entire working life (47 years) involved with the licensed trade including 10 years with Tollemache & Cobbold Brewery, 5½ years with Britannia Business Sales (a licensed trade specialist), a short period with Fleurets (a licensed trade specialist) and the last 24 years running Humberstones, Norwich of which I am one of two directors and the firm is one of a group of three covering England & Wales. I specialise in the sale of licensed businesses both freehold and lease and have acted for both corporate and private clients, solicitors, accountants and receivers. I also carry out rent reviews, mainly against the pub companies and provide general licensed trade help & advice. I have carried out formal valuations for solicitors (matrimonial, probate, partnership split) and for several community groups wishing to purchase their village pub.
I've been married to Jo, my co-director, for 30 years and have three grown-up children. In our spare time we spend as much time as possible sailing our yacht "Endeavour". I love listening to music and when we retire we plan to sail round the Med. When I'm too old to sail I'll build a model railway.
