Most successful organisations regularly engage with coaches, mentors and consultants to help set direction, drive growth and improve performance. I know it’s not always easy to seek or find external help, however, this platform makes it a cinch to leverage expert support for you and your team, when you need it to boost your performance. Take your first tentative steps and book a quick half-hour chat to see what I can do for you. Since 2002 I have worked with many business leaders in most sectors and helped them: develop business growth and export strategies; create and adapt business models; build innovation capabilities to overcome business challenges; and scope R&D projects and submit applications for grant funding.

My engineering training and experience are at the core of my approach to working with clients—practical tools to get jobs done. I combine exploiting what you have with exploring what is possible to help you achieve growth for yourself and your business.

Most businesses will need to adjust what they do and why they do it as a result of the fast-changing world we are living in. If you are a business owner, board, CEO or senior manager, I can help you reaffirm the core purpose of your business, explore your redesign options, help understand and reach customers and work on how to manage transitions. Companies who proactively seek to address these challenges will have a much higher chance of sustainability and success.

Contracts with clients are regarded as journeys where I get to travel with you to support you through the roadworks and the fast lane too! It’s not always about problem-solving - it’s also about helping you to grow your business by ensuring that you have the right people in the right place at the right time. I’ll work with you as your ‘people partner’, using my professional expertise to help you and your managers spot and address issues, ahead of time. Being commercially aware myself means that I understand the importance of ‘bottom line’, and I believe that I am an ‘enabler’ in terms of making sure that I support your business’s performance through its people to enhance and improve that performance.

A short meeting with me will help you to decide if R&D Tax Credits are a suitable way for you to get extra cash into your business. Over the years I've found that there's lot's of misinformation out there ranging from 'you can claim for anything and nobody checks' to 'it's only for advanced technology firms and if you try to make a claim you could be in deep trouble with HMRC'. The scheme is actually available to many - but not all - SMEs. Come and have a chat with me and we can explore whether your company is eligible.
