What is keeping you awake ?

The Business Buddy

It's hard to take a step back when you are growing your business.

In business, decisions always need to be made daily, weekly, monthly and hoping to hit the metrics  for your plan.


It is often lonely. Running a business can be a stressful for owners and executives. Most business owners need a "business buddy" that can help you just listen and talk through plans, help you on strategise, marketing and hiring.

We can offer you more than a sounding board, road-testing your ideas, working on increasing visibility in marketing, attracting candidates and clients. Giving you a growth accelerator helping you grow, assess the senior promotions, interviewing and hiring candidates.

For many years, I was the director of the only company that was in the  Virgin Fast Track 100 for four consecutive years. I have hired and fired, I have built business in the UK, USA, Asia, Africa, Middle East across  


Europe working on business operations, marketing, accounting, succession planning and more.
With experience in multiple sectors and geographies, we can help you grow your business from SME to established companies. 


A business buddy, a growth accelerator business coach helps you get perspective.

NED, Non Executive Director, Business Coach Services

I accelerate businesses

With over 25 years of experience building, starting, growing and selling businesses I'm here to help you grow and expand your businesses horizons. 

Do you need a Business Growth Accelerator Coach v a Non Executive Director (NED)

Simply a Business Growth Accelerator Coaches don't ask for your equity, ensure you retain 100% of your equity. 


This enables us to be truly independent, objective and honest . 


With experience in Marketing, Human Resources, Accounting and Business Expansion to businesses of all sizes we are here to help. 

Experience

I have started my own businesses, growth companies in across Asia, Europe, Africa, the UK and USA and have equally sold and bought companies globally. 


To be honest, yes, some didn't work out, however over 95% are still trading profitably and 6 have been grew with 8  getting investment or for owners to exit their business for significant capital 

Mentoring a ongoing support

From having grown businesses and teams across the UK, Europe, Asia and the USA many of the time it was via trial and error and with a degree of mentoring leading to award winning fast growing businesses. 


I've made errors but more importantly I have achieved more wins than  losses. From growing businesses internationally and locally, learn from my errors and let me help you take a third party view of your business and your dreams. 


I've hired and fired people of course, I've had more wins than losses which is important for success & growth and learning everytime is important.. 


There is no app or software and no magic sauce in business. 


Some say fail is the best way of succeeding, an old adage,  however much like a coach for an award winning marathon runner, its your race, your goal, your dream, don't fail alone and shortcut the pain.
