Turning Ideas Into Impact—For Businesses, Communities, and Beyond
In 1998, I founded Bamps, which quickly grew into one of Watford’s most sought-after digital agencies, employing 26 staff. Over the years, I ventured into e-commerce, acquiring several online toy shops and even manufacturing our own bubble liquid—an Amazon best seller that shipped hundreds of units daily. Alongside this, we developed a robust warehouse, logistics, and fulfilment operation. After successfully scaling these businesses, I exited and sold them, taking the invaluable experience with me into my future ventures.
In 2019, I joined SmartGiving, leading business development and marketing operations. It was an incredibly rewarding role where I worked closely with philanthropists, companies, and charities to raise over £8 million annually for thousands of good causes. After a successful period with the charity, I moved on to focus on new challenges and opportunities.
Today, I wear many hats. I’m a proud co-organiser of UpLift Live, the UK’s only LinkedIn-focused annual conference, bringing together business leaders and content creators to share insights, build connections, and grow their brands. I’m also an Ambassador in NW London for Entrepreneurs Circle, where I host free, no-sales-pitch monthly meetings, each focused on practical strategies to help local business owners thrive.
If you haven’t noticed, I’m incredibly passionate about supporting local businesses. That’s why I’ve recently acquired Three Counties Expo, organising three annual business expos across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and Buckinghamshire. These events are designed to help businesses connect, collaborate, and grow.
I also love working with fellow marketing professionals and copywriters, which is why I host regular roundtables to share ideas and inspire each other.
On top of this, I’m profoundly deaf (don’t let that put you off!) with speech. My lipreading skills have enabled me to become one of the most sought-after expert witness forensic lip-readers in the world, regularly employed by global media outlets and legal firms to uncover the details no one else can.
As a family man, I feel incredibly lucky to support my wife Ravit in her cake decorating business, Peaks and Swirls. Her creations are true works of art and a sweet reminder of the creativity that runs in our family!
Outside of work, I’m passionate about sport, especially football and cricket. As a season ticket holder for both Watford FC and Middlesex CCC, you’ll often find me cheering from the stands when I’m not busy creating impactful content or supporting businesses in their marketing journeys.
How do I manage it all? Simple: I have a small but brilliant support team that keeps me incredibly organised. No day is ever the same—just the way I like it!
