I arrived with a degree and no safety net.
Then I built.
I came to the UK as a refugee in 2010 with a computing degree and no network. Today I chair GHS Group Holdings and build ventures across healthcare, agriculture, mining and technology — and I help other founders and investors do the same.

One operator, three ways to create value
The same playbook, applied across healthcare, agriculture, mining and technology — in the UK and Southern Africa.
Entrepreneur
I start, build and scale real operations — not slide decks. GHS Group Holdings grew from nothing into a 60+ person group.
Visionary leader
I connect healthcare, agriculture, mining and technology into one operating system, across the UK and Southern Africa.
Community advocate
I reinvest success into people — through RIZE, board roles in equality and migrant support, and mentoring the next generation.

Founder →What it's like to be in Barney's corner
Barney mentored me through both my music career and the business side of building a brand. He doesn't just motivate you — he shows you the structure underneath the dream and holds you to it. The guidance changed how I think about my career.
Reliable, professional and genuinely values-led. The GHS team raised the standard of care we could offer and made scaling feel manageable rather than risky.
Let's build something that lasts.
Whether you want to scale a venture, invite Barney to speak, explore a partnership or apply for mentorship — start the conversation.
