You built your B2B business to £5m+.
Now it’s time to unlock the next stage
- on your terms.
You’re Ready to Move, but in Which Direction?
What does success look like now to you, your team and family?
Looking to exit; at the right price, on the right terms, to the right buyer. Don't want to wait two years to get a deal done.
Know it's not ready yet to get the right deal.
Want to close the gap between what it's worth now and what it could be worth - then sell from strength, not necessity.
Not looking to let go yet, but things are blocked. Want new perspectives, energy & support to unlock potential so the name stays and the team builds something that lasts.
Business growth is human before it's strategic
When the buck stops with you, and you’ve already put so much in over the years- it’s not easy to find the insights, ideas or energy to shift to the next gear.
I’m an operator first. I’ve driven exponential growth in people, brands and businesses all over the world. From leading pilot commercial projects rolled out globally, to transformational growth as a blue-chip MD, to CCO for a £410m private equity exit, and raising £millions for founders.
I’ve also experienced firsthand how life events like an exit can create emptiness and regret if you don’t align your goals first - personal and business.
People move things, that’s why I love B2B - helping teams and customers unlock their full potential with purpose, skill and energy. You’re the sector specialist, I bring complementary skills and new perspectives.
So we create new value with purpose, and you get the next stage of life you’ve earned.

Ways We Can Work Together
The only way we both win is if we create new value - pre or post exit. And enjoy doing it.
Every owner, team and business is unique - so is the solution.
Acquisition
Buying profitable, £5m–£30m revenue B2B businesses to grow them. Property Services, M&E, specialist distribution.
Where I know I can create future value, & you sell to an operator who can continue your legacy and team. With the support of deal-structure, capital access and operational experts.
Finding the right deal - from a 3 month ‘try before you commit’, to a partial exit or a full MBI.
Growth Partnering
Working hands-on alongside owners to maximise value - toward exit readiness, or toward the legacy they want the business to have. Unlocking growth opportunities, removing obstacles, re-energising teams to hit key metrics.
Hands-on: Vision. Strategy. Execution.
A custom mix of project & management fees, growth share & equity aligned to performance.
Coaching & Advisory
Low-touch, high-clarity advisory for owners who want a sounding board as they navigate the next stage.
Helping you find the mindset and clarity to unlock yourself, the team and business.
A custom mix of fees & growth share aligned to performance.
A 7 Factor Framework for Value Creation
A systematic approach to maximise value - whatever your chosen path. Value can be created or leaked from all these areas.
From here we build the foundations of clarity for powerful implementation with the team:
90 day plan
Vision & Strategy
1 year and 3 year plans.
Operating system
From Insights to Real World Success
Decide. Align. Act.
Built on how the work has actually gone across a 25+ year run of turnarounds, transformations, founding and a PE exit. Expertise from leading 60+ B2B and B2B2C business units from £0-£200m revenue across channels, markets and sectors.
Decide — Vision, Goals, Strategy on a Page
Align — Planning, Team, Systems, Resourcing.
Act — OKRs, Culture, Execution, OS, Results
Below some proof cases.
1. K — Commercial pilot project
Decide: A pilot to make a good brand genuinely luxury - which meant stripping back distribution, not chasing more of it.
Align: Aligned the team and 90-day plan around team upskilling, delivery quality and fewer, sharper moves rather than more activity.
Act: Dramatic shift in brand image & sales productivity: +50% revenue from 35% less distribution year 1 and again yr2. Milestones hit way ahead of of target and schedule.
Outcome: Pilot validated — exponential revenue and profit growth. Global rollout.
2. PD — Regional Acceleration
Decide: Expand the vision to transform industry standards for all stakeholders - better service, profitability and career opportunities.
Align: Rebuilt to transform education, brand presence, consumer engagement and channel structure. Where to invest in, what to create, what to cut, what to amplify.
Act: Reset execution rhythm and scale - milestones, accountability, pace. With energy and buy-in from all stakeholders from teams to distributors to customers to consumers.
Outcome: Region Revenue from $20m - $50m, Profit x3. Best in class distributor partnerships.
3. ghd — Exit Preparation
Decide: What "ready to sell" actually means for this business commercially — the gap between today's value & full potential in 3 year exit horizon.
Align: Built the 3 year plan to close that gap — country, channel and margin projects that lift value fastest, in the right order.
Act: Aligning resources, cross-departmental co-operation, channel project delivery and alignment of brand v speed of growth balance.
Outcome: Resolved broader organisation issues, achieved revenue and margin improvements. £410m exit in 18 months, 50% ahead of plan.
Why Work With Me
Ultimately this is human. Connection, alignment and fit matters if this is going to work for you, me and the team.
How I start is different - No pressure, no pitch. An honest read on where you are and what’s possible.
How I work is different - I’ve built businesses and exited. Transparency is key with aligned goals and ways of working.
How I'm paid is different - fees, growth share, or acquiring the business - in part or full. Skin in the game, either way. If it doesn’t work out, we disconnect quickly and painlessly.
