Who are our people?
Our network of partners have all been at director level in blue-chips and other high
performing business who now get the buzz of seeing the immediate impact of their
work in smaller businesses.
All of them have grown their own small business and share the excitement and
risk that every small business owner faces each day – they simply ‘get’ the
entrepreneurial mentality and are prepared to share the risk in a working relationship
with a client.
What do clients get?
Clients get control
They control how much senior input they need each month to achieve their business
goals. They control the term of engagement. Hiring a director is a big decision and if
the chemistry isn’t right after the honeymoon, it’s a huge cost and distraction.
They get the ultimate guarantee:
no safety net
