I provide practical, hand-on support to help business owners grow their businesses profitably and reach their personal goals. I am passionate about helping business owners develop and grow their business by using my experience to provide practical advice, coaching and support.Running your own business can be a lonely place without someone to talk to about your aspirations for the business and the hurdles you are facing. Business owners need to take time to stand back and take stock of where their business has come from and where you want it to be in the next few years.With over 20 years board level experience I understand the challenges facing business owners on a day to day basis whether it is creating and delivering a robust plan, growing sales, controlling costs, improving margins, working capital management, employing the right people in the right places or producing the right management information.Prior to becoming a business coach I was a Finance Director (Chartered Accountant/MBA) with broad general management experience gained in the UK and overseas (Africa & Asia). I have worked in the commercial, not-for-profit and education sectors. As well as my finance duties I have been an interim CEO and run IT & HR departments, operations along with fleet and property management.If you feel I can be of help to you please give me a call (07932 664391) or email me (sgbusinesscoaching@outlook.com) for a no fee, no obligation discussion or attend one of my seminars in the North East to get a better understanding of what I can do for your business.Specialties: Business Planning – Development & ImplementationCoaching and mentoringFinancial ManagementInterim ManagementCompany SecretaryFinance & Risk CommitteesInternal AuditExpense ReductionImpact Reporting
