How I Help
I've spent my career solving the problems that private hire operators face at every scale. Here's how that experience can work for you.
The Private Hire Challenge
The UK private hire industry is at an inflection point. Consolidation is accelerating, technology is reshaping how operators compete, and the gap between those who adapt and those who don't is widening fast.
Most operators are too small to hire a full-time COO or CTO, but the decisions they face — dispatch platform selection, fleet scaling, compliance frameworks, acquisition strategy — are C-suite decisions. Getting them wrong costs far more than getting expert help.
I've operated at every level of this industry, from 60-car independents to national super-fleets. That cross-scale experience is rare, and it's the foundation of everything I offer.
Fractional COO/CTO
C-suite operations and technology leadership on flexible terms. For operators who need senior strategic capability without the full-time overhead.

Learn moreEquity Partnerships
For the right opportunity, I invest expertise alongside capital — taking a stake in businesses where I can add genuine operational value.
Learn moreMy Approach
There's no one-size-fits-all. A 100-car regional operator and a PE-backed national group face fundamentally different challenges, and they need different things from a senior advisor.
I bring the technical knowledge to evaluate platforms, the operational experience to improve performance, and the industry relationships to open doors. Every engagement starts with a conversation — understanding your situation before suggesting a structure.
No long-term lock-ins. No bloated proposals. Just practical, experienced help for the decisions that matter most.
Let's Start with a Conversation
Every engagement begins the same way — an informal conversation about where you are and what you're trying to achieve. No pitch, no commitment. Just a chat to see if there's a fit.
