Make your growth more predictable
Revenue that has stalled. Sales that depend on one or two people. Marketing that is busy but cannot show a return.
I help owners of £3m to £25m businesses find out which one is holding them back, and fix it.
-
£600K UK order book from a standing start in under a year
-
4x online sales in eighteen months
-
€2.5M pipeline from a single trade fair
-
£250K consultancy built and sold
Which of these sounds like your business?
Most growth plans do not fail because the idea was wrong. They fail because the business was not ready to deliver them.
01
“Revenue has been flat for two years, and we cannot agree why.”
05
“The leadership team pulls in different directions.”

Twenty years, and most of it building things that did not exist yet
I have built pan-European marketing functions inside global manufacturers, launched a UK business from a standing start to a £600K order book, created a growth-advisory practice inside a Top 20 accountancy firm, and built and sold a consultancy of my own.
That range is the point. I have sat on both sides (running the function and advising the people who run it) which is why I start by measuring whether a business can actually deliver a plan before anyone writes one.
