Having sold my original businesses I took 2 years out to compete in a round the world yacht race, I have since built up JFP Strategic Planning and Implementation since 2001. The normal start point is to take businesses through a strategic planning exercise on a NO VALUE NO FEE basis. The Planning exercise can be done in 1 DAY (3-4 key decision makers). Clients retain me in a non executive role including mentoring to help implement their plan. I currently have a non exec involvement with a range of companies ranging from Cycle Training to IT Support to Design and Build. The full client list is on the JFP website showing the breadth and depth of experience. JFP has been, and are, involved in selling, merging and acquiring with our clients. I feel my key points of difference are that I bring empathy, experience and a great track record to the table. I can honestly say in the SME environment I have been there and done it - successfully. The shortest I have been with a client is 1.5 years but most are long term relationships. A client however can at any stage terminate the relationship with NO notice period whatsoever.
