Bert's Expertise

Experience and Past Work

In his long professional career, Bert has worked with multinational companies and governments, consulting on projects in Africa, Europe and Asia.

He has distinguished himself in the areas of:

  • Project Management
  • Management Consulting
  • Operations Management
  • Strategic Leadership
  • Performance Management
Professional Experience and Past Projects
Most notably he was recognised for his contributions to:
  • TMEA Logistics Innovation for Trade Fund (LIFT) as an expert for Nathan Inc in Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania (on behalf of UK DFID)
  • Grindrod Logistics as an asset audit specialist in Southern Africa
  • GIZ as Team Leader tasked with developing a  Fleet Management System and Asset Management Policy for the Government of Malawi (on behalf of the German Government)
  • The Samsun Logistics Centre (SLC) funded by the EU in Samsun Turkey as a business planning expert (on behalf of the EU)
  • The establishment of CFS facilities for Damco, Djibouti (on behalf of the AP Moller Maersk Group)
  • A project initiated by the Investment Board of Nepal as a feasibility specialist (on behalf of UK DFID)
In the last ten years, Bert broadened his focus to include personal finance in the UK, which led to him founding Fundweb. As someone with a good grasp of financial concepts in a corporate environment, he found himself needing to make difficult financial decisions in his personal life, but lacking the necessary tools. He founded Fundweb with a team of experienced finance writers and experts to help demystify topics such as:
  • Equity Release
  • Lifetime Mortgage
  • Home Reversion
  • Retirement Interest Only (RIO) Mortgage
  • SIPPS
