Gary Baker

After 10 years in the legal profession Gary changed direction to spend 17 years running and growing CD (UK) Ltd, and a corporate member of the Furniture Makers Company. Initially working with his father, Gary managed the transition to take over leading the business at the same time as finding a way to release value for his father. Gary then sold CDUK through an MBO process to the company’s managing director.
Having also gone through the ups and downs of founding an internet start-up business, Gary brings a unique set of experiences to Aurik that can help business owners scale and grow towards an exit or to succeed the business to the next generation.
