What do you need help with?

Running your own business whatever the stage is hard work. There is always so much to plan, do and learn in addition to providing your actual business services. So it can be really helpful to have someone on board who’s been there and done it, and has a broad range of knowledge and experience to help you get it right.

My experience

I have 20+ years’ experience both advising and running my own businesses, and throughout that time I’ve acquired experience in lots of different areas. It’s obviously impossible to be an expert in so many, but I have a good grounding and experience in all of the things below. If I don’t personally have the skills you need, after running business networking organisations for over 10 years I almost certainly know someone personally who does.
