Summary
Experienced Business Coach and Mentor, owner of Business Doctors covering East Cheshire and High Peaks.
Experienced "hands on" business coach and mentor supporting small and medium sized business owners, helping them achieve their personal and organisational ambitions and aspirations. Specifically successful with strategic planning, growth delivery (financial and people), all aspects of business and performance management.
Whilst I operate within the consulting industry I am not a traditional consultant. My approach is different and involves getting into the nuts and bolts of businesses providing practical advice every step of the way, providing coaching and mentoring solutions for individuals, teams and organisations on a one-to-one or team basis, seeking to release and unlock individual, team and organisational potential.
During my career I have held many senior director positions where I received extensive experience in a corporate environment, working in public limited, private & private equity ownership. I also received significant personal development covering a number of business areas.
I am an approved Growth Accelerator Coach through the Business Growth Service, a member of the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, the Macclesfield Chamber of Commerce and Federation of Small Businesses. I am an approved Virgin "Start Up" Mentor and Business Growth Hub Mentor.
Simplifying business jargon into understandable simple tools for practical implementation, supporting business owners and helping them navigate through the many government funded schemes available.
