With over a decade working in house before coming back to private practice in 2022, Rory has worked both for and with some of the world’s most recognisable brands. Rory has built his practice providing pragmatic and commercially focused advice to c-suite executives, serial entrepreneurs, directors and employees at every level of a business.

From helping small businesses protect and exploit their core assets through to helping multinationals negotiate strategic long-term agreements, Rory has led and worked alongside sales, marketing, procurement, IT and finance teams to achieve their objectives.

With direct experience working in the creative, retail and manufacturing sectors, together with supporting clients from many more, Rory focuses on getting deals done and keeping business moving.

Outside of work you can find me…

With two young children, Rory spends the majority of his weekends either stood on the touchline managing a grassroots junior football team or on the side of an athletics track cheering on his two boys. Rory also enjoys getting out in the hills for a walk with his family.

Rory is active in his local church, he enjoys drawing, and still has aspirations to one day get back in a rowing boat and hopefully win another national championship! Occasionally you will catch Rory cycling the Cheshire lanes or running along the Bridgewater canal.
