During his tenure as CEO of the Palmarium Group, Nick constantly used Business Advisors, Executive Coaches and Non-Executive Directors to assist himself and his management team develop their own ideas and skillsets. Today Nick has a private portfolio of investments within established, early-stage and start-up SME’s. His real love is supporting business owners and management teams to achieve their true potential; for themselves!​
