Running your own business can be a difficult and lonely path to choose. As a business owner I have faced and still face these challenges. Recognising this, I bring like minded business owners and leaders together in to peer groups that advise, support and challenge each other without vested interest, provides the platform for us to talk openly about or business concerns and opportunities confidentially, candidly and without judgement. At TAB we help business owners have better businesses and better lives by participating in local business advisory boards and one-to-one sessions supported by TAB business tools and services. I became a TAB member in 2014 to help me develop my young business, very quickly I reaped the benefits of the TAB ethos and the support and advice from fellow business owners on my peer board. I continue as MD and co-owner of Sampson Products Ltd, manufacturing business in West Yorkshire, as well as working with my co-owner at The Alternative Board® (TAB) - Wakefield District, Liam Prendergast, to help and support over 20 business owners and leaders to achieve their vision of success.
