Strategic Advice
Graham Higgins is a serial entrepreneur with a track record of success. He has already built and sold successful businesses and enjoys helping others to get more from their business.
After completing his Biochemistry degree at Warwick and a stint with Nestle on their Graduate Management scheme, Graham trained and qualified with a large regional firm of accountants. Soon after qualifying he moved to Corporate Finance and advised on a number of mergers and acquisitions.
At twenty five years of age he setup his own accountancy practice which expanded rapidly to circa £1m turnover, twenty staff and two offices. The rapid growth, virtually unheard of in the sector, was down to embracing technology and targeting larger audit clients. After five very successful years Graham exited the practice to pursue other business interests.
This included turning around failing manufacturing and e-commerce businesses and regenerating another accountancy practice. Graham also became the CFO of a recruitment group, where he still works part-time. He was part of the groups growth journey from six staff and £600k in revenue to more than one hundred staff and £12m in revenue. He has personally bought 6 businesses and sold 5 with a depth of experience spanning multiple sectors.
