Alan’s clients rely upon him to tell them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear, with a very clear focus on practical solutions that work in the real world.Away from the office, Alan is the worst footballer you will ever witness; yet in fairness, what he lacks in skill and poise he more than make up for in enthusiasm. Away from the 5-A-Side football league, Alan spends most of his time with his young family and if he can spare the time, enjoys reading crime thrillers, with an Ian Rankin novel (he can work an Inspector Rebus analogy into seemingly any situation) being his go to.Get in touch...
