Government Client for Policy Development Advice
" When we uncovered a major external fraud, we called John in to look at why it happened and what we needed to do to deal with it and avoid repetition. He did all this with great professionalism, understanding our business very quickly and gaining the confidence of our staff. His grasp of public accountability, and great practical common sense, were invaluable in reassuring Ministers that the fraud was being dealt with robustly and well."

-noun
a person who gives professional or expert advice: a consultant on business methods.
Ihave been a consultant and interim since 2005. I have skills and experience gained at senior levels in central Government, charities and the wider public sector and voluntary and community sector. I find fulfilment and enjoyment in bringing these to bear on clients' problems. Regulation (as Chief Charity Commissioner, National Lottery regulator and member of the Solicitors Regulation Authority) is an area of particular expertise. My background also includes policymaking, financial and operational management and major projects in urban and housing regeneration and environmental protection.
Satisfied corporate customers include a large National Lottery distributor with which I worked on measures to deal with a serious fraud, Parliamentary authorities for whom I reviewed a members' benevolent fund and a major national social support charity for which I found solutions to some acute local problems of governance and management. As an interim assignment, I worked with the Greater London Authority and Red Cross to create an award-winning charity for the 7 July London bombing victims.
I also have skills in business planning, including how non-executives can use business planning both to support staff and hold them to account.
Can I perhaps help? Why not look at the information on my site. I very much look forward to hearing from you.
Nota bene: UK-based although overseas assignments also welcome.
