I'm based in the South East of England, just outside Portsmouth, with excellent access to the M3, A3, and M27 road networks. Southampton Airport and direct rail links to London provide fast national connectivity. I also maintain a central London office, making in-person meetings and hybrid advisory roles easily accessible.
