I work with individuals, businesses, and organisations to shape, test, and deliver rural tourism and leisure diversifications. Bringing clarity at early stages, practical leadership through delivery, and thoughtful support as projects evolve.
My role is to help clients make well-judged decisions, balancing commercial viability with respect for place, landscape, and community, and providing proportionate, evidence-led advice from concept through to operation.

Typically, conversations begin around questions like these:
What are the opportunities?
How can tourism support a wider rural diversification strategy?
How do we diversify income without compromising landscape or heritage?
Is the concept commercially and practically viable?
How should the venture grow or evolve from here?
What strategy will best guide the development of this site?
How do we move the project from concept to delivery?
Would an experienced, independent perspective help us navigate the next stage?
