He chaired the UK's Social Investment Task Force and the Commission on Unclaimed Assets and he is a founder-director of Social Finance.

"Just as hi-tech business enterprise and venture capital, working in tandem, have attracted increasing numbers of talented risk-takers since the 1970s, so social enterprise and impact investment are now attracting a new generation of talented and committed innovators seeking to combine new approaches to achieving social returns. Social enterprise and impact investing, in short, look like the wave of the future."
