Current Work
My main business is the Co-Sponsorship Agency, where I dedicate my time. I am often asked to get involved in other projects, which I channel through the Co-Sponsorship Agency.
I have divided this page into three areas, which highlight some of the things which I’m typically asked to do;
- Client Work
- Other Work/Special Projects
- My Signature Activities
Client work;
Presenting and Facilitation
Recent clients include the British Council, the BBC and Unltd (the foundation for Social Entrepreneurs)
Deal Making/Connections
I am always happy to talk about how I can increase your success by spotting and making valuable introductions. I have done this for numerous organisations.
Writing
I have written for Spectator Business, The Daily Telegraph and Growing Business Magazine. For one year, I wrote a monthly column for Growing Business magazine which can be read here.
Other Work/Special Projects
Here is a selection of clients which I’m currently working with on special projects;
- Real Cool Futures (founded by the Eden Project)
- NESTA’s idiscover education project helps young people to develop the skills and attributes they will need in an innovation driven society
- Sport England
My Signature Activities;
These are things which I have helped to create;
- Speed Networking
I brought Speed Networking to the UK and have hosted literally hundreds of events for dozens of organisations around the world. I developed ‘Speednetwork the Globe’ for Global Entrepreneurship Week, which has now been used in 32 countries. Companies often hire me to facilitate Speed Networking inside their organisation. - Trade Missions (Web Mission, Clean and Cool Mission)
With my partners at Polecat, I created Web Mission and Clean Cool Mission to take groups of 20 British entrepreneurs to Silicon Valley. Companies apply and pay for their own way, and we attract a range of sponsors from the public and private sector. We have a range of missions planned for the coming year. - Make Your Mark with a Tenner (Now Tenner Tycoon)
This is a national scheme which I founded to encourage young people to have ideas and make them happen. School pupils are loaned £10 and have one month to see what they can achieve. My partners are Enterprise UK and together we have organised three challenges to date, for 10,000, 16,000 and 28,000 participants.
If you would like to talk about working together, I’d love to hear from you.
