My main business is developing a range of software products, ideal for working from home (including planning and membership) - and I'm also the author of 6 books - sold throughout the UK (and the rest of the world).

In Aberdeen, I'm probably best known for my book group!

Books & Networking

Meet other business owners, network and discuss the books you are currently reading.

Unlike a traditional book club (where everyone reads the same book), we discuss what everyone is currently reading, goals, and getting ideas from each other for books to read.

Regular meetings, a free Facebook group, and help writing your own book.

Let me know if you are interested in coming along to a future meeting - or check out the website at: www.booksandnetworking.co.uk

Looking for help writing and releasing your book?

A number of people have recently mentioned wanting to discuss their book ideas with me, so I've recently added a new page to my website, with a range of writing help and support available.

This includes my book on writing and self publishing your own book, a new one-to-one "power hour" style meeting, and a writing group I'll be putting together later in 2022.

Contact me if you'd like help bringing your book idea to life, and visit: booksandnetworking.co.uk/writing

What would you like to achieve from your ABN Community membership?

I am interested in networking and helping other businesses, freelancers and charities within and beyond Aberdeen.

What makes you/your business/organisation different?

- We don't just sell you the product and then forget about you.
- you will receive product support and help direct from the developer.
- Work with you to ensure you have the best solutions - even if that means recommending a competitors product.
- Focus on stability and reliability, rather then unnecessary features.
- Listening and where possible make use of customer feedback.
- Friendly and reliable service.

Share some life or business wisdom!

- Be honest and be yourself!
- Provide excellent customer service and support before, during and after a sale.
- Stick to the vision for your product.
- Ignore the armchair experts (e.g. well-meaning friends and family offering their business "advice")!
