John Stenhouse (Angels@Essex) Retires – well almost

After over five and a half years steering Angels@Essex for the University of Essex, John is retiring to a life of fast cars, slow boats and (rumour has it) creating a new equity investment fund.

When asked for his opinion (which he freely gives) on what happens next he says “The future is bright…..between providing backup support for my kids and grandchildren, setting up a new fund will be a welcome break to the organised chaos of family life….I need a hobby that stretches my mind”.

John has spent a long career in finance, taking Thames Water to privatisation (not proud of), creating his own accounting firm (very proud of) and growing business scale-up programmes across the UK, supporting SME’s at every stage of development, “I’ve done my bit, for now, anyway” he says.

The team at Angels@Essex wish him well for the future and remind everyone, we are still open for business as usual.
