Robert has built a robust specialism in the hospitality sector for the majority of his career gaining a wealth of operational and strategic experience across well-known leisure brands such as TGI Fridays, Turtle Bay, Mitchells & Butlers New Concepts and Wahaca.

He built a solid reputation as a trouble shooter and his adeptness for devising and delivering turnaround plans which achieved significant improvements  across the businesses he worked in.  His key achievements were to bring increased productivity, improved staff management and retention and ultimately good financial control to ensure improved profitability at times preventing business closures and loss of jobs.  Having also run his own events business delivering bespoke events, he moved into consultancy before deciding to use his skills in a different direction.

Robert will work with the wider SSF team to provide commercial finance advice to UK businesses who are looking to access innovative finance to support their business aspirations.
