Stuart is our Advocate in the South West and is based in Cheltenham, supporting clients to apply for finance and spreading the word about Purple Shoots. Stuart has run his own Estate Planning business for 20 years and knew Owain Williams through one of his previous roles as a Business Manager for 10 years at NatWest, where he supported small businesses in Gloucestershire. Stuart was asked by Mike Lewis if he would work with Purple Shoots in the South West as he had always been very supportive with Mike’s previous work at the Frederick’s Foundation. Stuart jumped at the chance to help even more people set up and start their own businesses.

When he is not supporting Purple Shoots clients or running his own business, Stuart enjoys playing tennis (fair weather only) walking their dog Milo, learning to speak Italian at night class and watching lots of good films. He also enjoys going on short breaks to discover more about the beautiful European cities and capitals.
