I am a Chartered Surveyor by profession, starting in property in 1999 at an independent firm Innes

England in Nottingham. During my career I have worked for blue chip companies including Boots,

CBRE and Hammerson. I have a broad range of property and business experience having

managed multi million commercial and residential property portfolios across the UK and Ireland for

over 20 years. Over the last 6 years I have built my own consultancy business and portfolio of

commercial property investments including retail, office and mixed use properties.

I took a career break in 2014, travelled in Europe and did a lot of self-development education. This

was the beginning of my transition from property professional to property investor. Having achieved

my professional goals I knew that working for someone else exchanging time for money was no

longer what I wanted to do. In 2016 I set up my own property consultancy and began investing in

apartments on a Rent to Rent basis in Nottingham running them as Serviced Accommodation. I

also launched Progressive Property Network, a monthly network meeting in Birmingham and have

built a strong investor network and contact base as a result.

Today I have a twin focus, my commercial property consultancy KD Commercial and building my

own commercial property investment portfolios with my business partners Jamie MacPherson in JK

PropCo for commercial investments and Jon Ballard in Wem Commercial for commercial and

mixed use developments. I have also transferred my pensions to a SIPP investing jointly with other

SIPP investors in commercial property flips.
