Non-Executive Director and Audit Committee Chair in a UK premium-listed environment, bringing a strong record of board oversight across governance, valuation, financial reporting and audit. I contribute an independent, commercially grounded perspective shaped by over 25 years as an Assurance & Advisory Partner and experience within the UK regulator (FRC), combining deep technical expertise with practical boardroom judgement.
Founder of HPL Associates Limited, a boutique consultancy advising boards and audit practices on governance, quality, risk, regulatory and strategic matters. I work with leadership teams to navigate complexity, strengthen assurance frameworks and support critical decisions, particularly in areas such as valuation, transactions and financial reporting in regulated and high-growth environments.
Alongside these roles, I contribute to the profession as a member of the ICAEW Audit & Assurance Faculty Board and ICAS’s Corporate Financial Reporting Panel. Across all aspects of my career, I am known for providing clear, pragmatic advice that enhances trust, strengthens governance and delivers long-term value with credibility and impact.
