I am a straight talking, no nonsense business advisor, growth coach and management mentor
I have supported many start-up and fledgling entrepreneurs, as well as long established and growing businesses, both large and small. I have run my own businesses since 1977, and I know how difficult, stressful and indeed lonely it can be. I made all my mistakes a long time ago and have first-hand knowledge of the many problems and hurdles that you face.
A former Freelance ‘Growth Accelerator’ Growth Coach, Manufacturing Advisory Service Consultant, and EU Horizon Business Readiness Coach I’m not a ‘one size fits all’ textbook mentor, following a tick-box template methodology. My expertise evolved from a lifetime of experience and advising you is how I earn my living, so I work very hard to get it right.
Whatever your issues or business sector I can very likely help. I can also provide Sales & Marketing Support, as well as Leadership & Management Training tailored to suit your personality and character, enabling you to develop your own managerial style - one that you are comfortable with.
I would be pleased to hear from you, to discuss if we are a good fit and to decide what’s right for your business. My charges are reasonable and good value for money, with clients usually consulting me once or twice per month, depending on need.
