Meet Ian Woodley, Founder of Finance Kitchen which specialises in investment raises and debt funding for the restaurant and grocery sectors.

25 years of experience led Ian to set up the Now Financial group which focused on business rescue and was voted "Business Rescue Funder of the Year" at the Insolvency Awards 2009. In 2015 the time came to turn a passion as a home cook into a profession and Finance Kitchen was formed to facilitate finance for new and growing restaurants.

Outside of work Ian has been involved in a number of sports clubs. Chairman of Dulwich Hamlet FC, Founder of Perrywood FC ( 25 years old this year) Junior Chairman of East Grinstead Hockey Club, Minis Chairman and Head of Community Rugby at Chobham Rugby. He has a keen interest in Americana music and was until recently South East Chairman of the Social Democratic Party.

A fascinating chat with a man who's seen and done a lot, both professionally and personally and still does!
