After qualifying as a Chartered Certified Accountant, Richard moved into industry and held a number of finance positions over a nine year stretch with Coca-Cola in London. Nine years hard work warranted an 18 month career break which took him on travels to Central America, Malaysia, Thailand, Borneo, China, Burma, Australia and Fiji. He worked for O2 in Slough on returning before deciding to look for a fresh challenge in a smaller, friendlier but equally dynamic working environment.

He arrived at Aardvark in December 2012 and, as Chief Operating Officer, is responsible to the board for accurate financial reporting and forecasting as well as providing support and supervision to the sales teams to ensure efficient operations.

When not working, Richard enjoys the gym and keeping fit during respites from the demands of a young family.
