ALAN MARKS. Your Non Exec Director.

Ever since I was a teenager, I have had my own businesses. I have, started ,run, built, sold and at times helped others run businesses of all shapes and sizes.  I have a wide range of skills and a contact book that that can open doors to assist with  your project. I have homes in London and the South-West of England and will be delighted to help you with your business venture.

As a Non-Executive Director/Chair, investor, trusted business advisor, consultant, or mentor I can help your business flourish. With experience across a wide range of industries, I will be delighted to assist you and your business or start-up venture in any way I can or through my network of connections.

On a day to day basis, I am proud of being the Managing Director of Harrison Spence Limited. I’ve being involved with the firm for more than 10 years and under my direction, we have built up an enviable reputation of assisting companies and individuals who work in the Retail Financial Services sphere. We specialise in Consultancy Mergers & Acquisitions within the sector. Away from Financial Services, I have built up a reputation as a trusted business adviser and, as mentioned, have a wealth of experience across many industries. and I have helped (and am currently helping) a diverse range of business grow and succeed. I have experience in many fields with both established and start-ups including:

• Online accountancy.

How can I help your business or idea?

My favourite role is that of a Non-Executive Director/Chair and I can certainly bring a creative contribution to any board. I can offer independent oversight and clear thinking and am known for my probing but constructive challenges to executive directors.
Start-up businesses have particularly found my input to be invaluable, especially in those difficult early days when an idea is moving from the “good Idea” to the “ potential great business “phase.

I would be delighted to hear from you on any aspect of business development and I am particularly keen to assist with businesses located in the South West/ M4 corridor/South East areas, however in these new times I am also currently working with two businesses based in Edinburgh through the use of IT options.
