From losing everything to exposing the system: The entrepreneur behind Britain's most controversial insolvency book - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

"“I walked in thinking this person was on my side,” he says. “I walked out understanding that nobody in that room was on my side except me. And I didn't even know what questions to ask.”"

"RIGGED: The Directors' Survival Manual is 200+ pages of plain-English explanation of an industry that, in his telling, has spent decades profiting from the silence of the people it claims to serve. Published through his platform Insolvency.World, the book has become one of the most divisive pieces of business writing to land in the UK in years - celebrated by directors who have read it, quietly resented by parts of the profession it dissects."

"Over twenty-five years in business, he has been involved in more than a hundred companies, raised in excess of £250 million in capital, and built a lending operation that deployed close to £1 billion to small and medium-sized businesses across the UK. The CV reads like that of a man for whom things have always worked out."

"Somewhere in the middle of that twenty-five-year arc, things stopped working out. A business collapsed. Personal guarantees came due. A man who had spent years on one side of the lending table - the side that approved or declined other people's survival - found himself on the other side of it."

A director’s first meeting with an insolvency practitioner left him feeling isolated and unprepared. He expected support but realized the room’s participants were not aligned with his interests, and he did not know what questions to ask. After two decades and a full rebuild, he created a plain-English survival manual for directors. The book provides explanations of an insolvency industry and argues that the profession has benefited from the silence of the people it claims to serve. It was published through his platform and became highly divisive, praised by directors and resented by parts of the profession. His background includes extensive entrepreneurship, company involvement, capital raising, and lending deployment to UK small and medium-sized businesses.
