Hi, I'm Mike, 42, live in Cheshire (you may have guessed from the name).

After 20+ years in the corporate world working for large companies, I'm now looking for a business partner to set up a new venture with. My skills are in sales, contract winning, account management - basically, generating revenue. Also, have extensive experience around procurement, strategy, planning, finance, project management etc.

Ideally, I'm looking to meet 1 or 2 local people who are skilled in what they do but feel they lack the broader commercial expertise to make it a success. Maybe a couple of car mechanics, bricklayers, artisans, candlestick makers, web designers, wedding cake makers, micro-brewers....who are thinking about going it alone but need a partner to take care of all the marketing, attract customers and so on while they practice their craft.
It doesn't really matter what field though, it's more about personality and whether we think we can work together.

Have some money to put into it, but thinking this is more about creating something from the bottom up rather than buying our way in.

email me: We can meet up for a beer initially in the Chester/Northwich area and see if it's worth pursuing.
