Colin GlassAbout Me:

I am a Chartered Accountant with my own Practice, Winburn Glass Norfolk ("WGN"), which I founded with two partners in 1975.  I am also a non-executive director of several companies, including three AIM-listed companies which we have advised from start-up to flotation, and have always been passionately interested in assisting small businesses develop to their full potential.

Specialist Sectors:

Medical devices, electronics, internet based businesses, oil and gas, waste recycling, media, construction - but have experience in many sectors.

Expertise:

Setting up in business and assisting with business development.   Accountancy.   Budgeting and forecasting.   Business and personal taxation.  Auditing and reporting.  Raising finance.  Business rescue. Non-executive director services and mentoring.

Companies I Work With:

Start-up and early stage businesses, growth orientated SMEs, AIM-listed companies including Surgical Innovation Group plc (www.sigroupplc.com), GETECH Group plc (www.getech.com) and Straight plc (www.straight.co.uk).

What My Clients Say About Me:

"Colin is a great mentor and his experience in taking start-ups to market is second to none. Would thoroughly recommend him as a business partner if starting up a company or looking to take one public. He is an accountant by trade that acts and thinks like an entrepreneur rather than a suit."

Kevin Dixie, Fuelmyblog 

"Colin is a one-off, one of Yorkshire's most networked professionals and a hugely driven facilitator of start up and entrepreneurial business. Working with Colin is rewarding, and his decades of accountancy and finance experience are hugely valuable to any business."  

Paul Snape, Appeal PR 

"Colin is the most astute individual I have met and his knowledge of financing and A&M is justifiable legendary. More than an accountant Colin is a man to have on your side in developing ambitious business plans."

Keith Williams, Profit Improvements

What I Like To Do In My Pastime: 

Running (I used to run marathons now down to 10ks!), watching cricket and rugby (I used to play for years!) - and networking!
