I am the strategic adviser to the Community Shares Unit, now partly retired, but still working in a freelance capacity a couple of days a month.
I work on matters relating to community shares, business appraisals, community investment and the development of innovative approaches to inclusive enterprise. I have worked for the Community Shares Unit since its inception, and before that, I have worked with and for the co-operative movement since the late 1970s.
