| Mike Prager |
Finance Director |
 Mike is a member
of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (A.C.A.) and has
a wealth of experience as a result of some key roles in the
service sector, particularly in property, logistics and consulting
engineering. In the 1980/90's Mike was part of the privatisation
of NFC (National Freight Consortium) from the Government and
played a key part in the rationalisation and development of
the property assets transferred as part of the vesting agreement
which layed the foundations for the evolution of the core operating
divisions, and the eventual successful floatation of NFC. During
this period he was also a divisional Finance Director for Exel
Logistics both in the UK and Germany and has therefore, considerable
knowledge of supply chain management and transport logistics.
More recently Mike was Group Finance Director of Halcrow and
played a major part in its evolution into a global multi-disciplinary
organisation and facilitated strategic acquisitions in the
USA and Canada. He therefore brings to MVA a wealth of experience
in international commercial contracts & acquisitions, funding & pension
fund negotiations and in implementing complex systems and business
development initiatives in professional and business services. |
