Who I am
Very proud to be the Founder of Gannons which was a start up once upon a time. I am constantly fascinated by the drive of those prepared to take a risk in business. There is so much to navigate. Steering you around a difficult situation using my years of experience feels good.
My main focus is to develop the practice and improve the level and quality of services we deliver. I set the three basic requirements for the firm:
- Be honest;
- Quote realistically;
- Communicate.
Sounds easy but never straight forward.
Many of my clients have gone onto achieve the exit they dream. In other cases they get themselves out of a mess with less pain than first thought. Straight talking and getting to the heart of a problem is something appreciated.
How can I help you
I have managed more tricky situations during my 40+ years of practice than most people have had hot dinners. I remain calm having heard it all before which helps you to stay calm. What you need is a straight talking tell it how it is person which is me. The pace is too fast and fees too high to be any other way. I have a genuine understanding for your problems juggling many balls like you all at the same time.
