Director of telecommunications consultancy and computer systems businesses in
association with Richard Clark and Dr Bill Bain. These were developments of
the original consultancy operation, focusing latterly on real-time financial
information systems (e.g. the design and development of Proquote, www.proquote.net, subsequently sold to the
London Stock Exchange). Following the sale of the main business to a public
quoted company IS Solutions plc
in April 2000 re-established links with UCL and continued commercial
activities on a part-time base as a non-Executive Director of IS Solutions
and as an independent consultant. Recently have also become involved
with the Prince's Trust Charity (http://www.princes-trust.org.uk/)

businesses.
