Make your growth predictable
I help owner-managed businesses between £3m and £25m find out why growth has flattened and what to fix first.

1 → 8, pan-European team built and led
WHAT OWNERS ASSUME
We picked the wrong tactic
The agency underdelivered
We hired the wrong person
The market got harder
WHAT IT USUALLY TRUE
The leadership team never agreed the same priority
Nobody could say why customers choose you
There was no capacity to carry the plan
The decision got reopened three times
Most growth plans do not fail because the idea was wrong. They fail because the business was not ready to carry them.
How I work in businesses
A twelve-minute diagnostic that scores your business on strategy, culture, marketing and sales, and benchmarks you against comparable companies. £350, waived if we work together.
GROWTH READINESS INDEXMonthly retainer, three-month minimum. Two to four days a month working on the two or three things the GRI (Growth Readiness Index) identified.
WORKSHOPS & TRAININGApplied sessions on growth, positioning and practical AI. Delivered to business schools, incubators and chambers of commerce since 2022.
GROWTH PARTNERMarketing and commercial leadership without a full-time hire. I have done this for agencies, manufacturers and consumer brands across the UK and France.
FRACTIONAL DIRECTOR
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 carry a plan before anyone writes one.
Deepest experience in manufacturing and industrial, professional services, and property and construction. Bilingual English and French, working across the UK and Europe.

Start with the numbers that matter
Could you predict next quarter's revenue within ten per cent and be right? Most owners hesitate. The Growth Readiness Index turns that hesitation into six numbers you can act on.
