Professional background

I ran a family-owned printing paper distribution business for 15
years
until 2006 when we successfully sold the business as a trade
sale. My
role in the business was as commercial director - looking after
merchandising, marketing, sales and client relationships. In the
last
3 years, I've been investing as an angel in early-stage start-ups.
I've invested in 5 such companies as part of a syndicate. I serve
as
a non-exec director in one of my investee companies and in
another I
serve as finance manager. I'm now looking for investment
opportunities where I can get actively involved in the running of
the
business - possibly within sales, operations or finance. I would
prefer to invest in companies needing development capital as
opposed
to early stage/venture capital. I'm particularly interested in online
trading businesses in sports and leisure, healthcare. I'm also
interested in technology businesses providing services via the
internet and/or mobile. I'm degree level educat
