Originally from London I began my working in the in the construction Industry, before I had an Epiphany (or an early midlife crisis), and decided the world of commerce was where and what I wanted to be involved in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I studied at Auckland\u2019s Unitec and gained a Bachelor in Business Studies degree majoring in Accountancy , I\u00a0 Practice as a Certified Public Accountant and hold a Practicing Certificate with that body.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been involved in audit and accounting for over 20 years and have been involved with some of New Zealand\u2019s biggest privately owned companies, predominately I work in the audit arena, but also offer conflict resolution and services, an area which I\u2019m particularly interested in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Outside of the office, I enjoy playing various stringed musical instruments (not well unfortunately).\u00a0 Travel is a passion of both myself and my wife and we attempt to travel overseas annually.<\/p>\n
