I’m a dedicated Senior Business Development Manager at Symvan Capital, with many years’ experience working with financial advisers to grow their business and meet their clients’ needs. I specialise in helping advisers best use tax-efficient investment solutions to satisfy their clients’ needs.
In 2025, I’ve spent the last 11 years in Venture Capital. Prior to which, I worked in Investment Management and Investment Banking for Investec and Barclays Capital, respectively, with over 30 years’ experience in total.
Primarily, as the Senior Business Development Manager I have responsibility for the promotion & distribution of Tax Advantaged Investments such as EIS & SEIS through financial advisers, tax advisers and HNW individuals in England, Scotland & Wales, together with the responsibility for growing the firm’s inclusion on panels of the national networks and banks. I also work with Business Angels looking to invest directly and help source new investee companies for inclusion within the funds.
My role raises Symvan’s profile and name awareness amongst financial advisers, tax advisers and HNW individuals. Ultimately, this leads to greater funds under management and more satisfied clients.
I support advisers in targeting HNW clients to solve their tax and estate planning issues through regular meetings, seminars and briefings with The Bank of England.
