About this Gig
With 20+ years of running my own businesses, and now a Business Consultant, Startup Advisor and Mentor on the UK Gov Exec Management Program, I understand first hand the challenges founders face.
I offer practical, no-nonsense advice that you can directly apply to transform your ideas into a thriving business, or implement to strengthen your existing venture.

I'll provide you with an actionable plan and solutions, ensuring you gain maximum value from even one session. My goal is to equip you with a clear roadmap to tackle any challenges, from market fit and go-to-market planning to competitor analysis, budgeting and financial planning, marketing and branding, operations, sales funnels, team building and more.
Bring me what you're stuck on, and I will tell you what to do about it.

FAQ
What are the most common questions small business owners ask?
Questions vary widely, covering a full range of challenges, for example why growth has stalled, where the money is being wasted, and what to do first. Underneath almost all of them is the same question, which is what to prioritise. That is normally where we start.
What stage should my business be at for this session to be useful?
Any stage. Whether you are still shaping the idea or already trading, I tailor the session to where you actually are. You leave with practical steps you can start on, not a theory session.
Can we discuss if my new ideas are worth pursuing?
Yes. My strength is seeing the bigger picture and spotting where the scale is, and I will be straight with you about what does not hold up. You will come away with a clear understanding of your next steps.
What kind of questions can I bring?
Anything you are stuck on. Fine-tuning the idea, understanding your market, or working through operations, branding, online presence, product development, marketing and sales, pricing, or AI tools. You can bring the messy questions too, those are the ones I like most.
Do we need to sign an NDA?
Yes, I am happy to sign an NDA. Nothing you send is shared with anyone without your permission.
Can you provide ongoing business support?
Yes, and I enjoy it. I can work with you ad-hoc, or join your team as a Fractional COO or Project Manager. Message me and we can work out what fits.
Would I be interested in joining your team as an Advisory Board Member?
I currently sit on an advisory board and enjoy the work. Message me with what your business does and what you would want from the role, I'm happy to discuss.
How do we schedule a time to meet?
I will send you a link to my calendar so you can choose a time that suits you for our Zoom session.
What happens if I miss our Zoom meeting?
I hold that slot for you, so a missed session cannot be given back. If something comes up, message me beforehand and I will always do what I can to find another time.
