MEET THE TEAM
STEPHEN BROGAN
Founder & Managing Director
With a distinguished career spanning 25-years in the drinks industry, Stephen left his role as senior director in Heineken UK and took the plunge setting up his own drinks export business in 2008 in the midst of the financial crisis.
Under Stephen's management, the start-up grew rapidly to £70m in just 8 years and won multiple awards along the way. This was not without the ups and downs that came with owning and running a high growth, demanding SME and his experience through this time, along with the other businesses that he created alongside, stands him in good stead to assess the health and requirements of SMEs that he can support.
"Creating and driving successful businesses takes pure grit and determination and of course the ability to pivot quickly in dynamic markets. I have built up many years of experience through my own business ventures in addition to the strategic M&A projects I led for Heineken UK and I am well placed to work with business owners to realise their business value "

STEVE PRATT
Founder & Business Development Director
Following an acclaimed career in the Royal Air Force, Steve moved into Financial Services where he focussed his energy for almost 25 years.
Specialising in Corporate Finance, Steve advised companies, directors and owners on their corporate and personal finances.
Steve is our first point of contact reaching out to businesses. He is adept at getting to the “what’s in it for me?” question that every owner wants to know as soon as possible. With substantial M&A networks built over years in the industry, Steve has an intuitive capability for quickly getting to solutions that achieve all parties' objectives.
"By engaging with business owners on a level that openly explores their desire to realise value from their business, we can really get under the skin of aims and aspirations. Where we jointly believe we can deliver success for the owners and ourselves, I work with our clients through the whole process. Being able to keep focussed and on-track through negotiations is critical and I I work hard to ensure we are all equally satisfied with the outcome"
