Position

Alan is a CEDR accredited mediator who specialises in mediating financial and business disputes.

Alan qualified as a chartered accountant before working in the corporate finance, insolvency and strategic consultancy sectors.  He subsequently established Invex Capital where he gained further, and extensive, commercial experience in buying and selling, as a principal, a variety of businesses. Such work naturally entailed negotiating with investors, shareholders and directors as well as resolving employment and commercial matters whenever they arose.  Having been at the coalface of numerous business negotiations and, naturally, some disputes, Alan believes that his accounting background, together with his experience in buying, owning and selling many businesses can add real value to his skills as a mediator in helping parties resolving their disputes and rebuilding relationships.

Alan has experience in a wide spectrum of sectors including property, home improvement, oil and gas markets, specialist retail, business services and safety equipment. He brings to his mediation practice a strong commercial understanding garnered from his years in business along with an ability to understand the most complex of financial documentation.    He continues to maintain strong contacts within the private equity, banking, corporate finance, insolvency and legal communities.

Alan is currently Chairman of Equity FD and a Director of the Tradelink group of companies.
