Business Mentoring & Executive Coaching
Running a growing business can be a lonely job. However well you know your organisation, there are times when you wish you had another experienced business person to talk to, just to provide that vital second opinion or to challenge your thinking.
In our Business Mentoring Programme you will be appointed a business consultant and advisor whom you can phone during normal business hours to discuss any issues that you may have. He can also access a large database of qualified partners and associates who can help with any specialist aspects of your business.

Sourcing Key People
Strengthen and develop your team. Find executives to run your business or non-executive directors to help your board develop and execute growth and exit strategies.
As a result of our work we’ve built up a large database of personal contacts at director and senior manager level – key people who operate in many different functions and industries. We have often been asked for recommendations to source candidates for executive, non-executive and interim management positions and we now offer this as a service.
Supply Chain Management
Manage your suppliers both in the UK and internationally and optimize your customer service and delivery.
Sometimes the price, features and quality of your competitors’ products and services are similar to yours, that’s when we can help you to stand out from the crowd by offering superior customer service and delivery performance. We will analyze and suggest improvements to customer service, inventory turnover, product movement costs and product storage to achieve lower operating costs and greater operational efficiencies.
International Trade and Distribution
We help companies who need an introduction to international trade or who want to develop their import, export and distribution business. We have extensive experience of setting up and running distribution contracts within Europe and Asia. We have strong sourcing and outsourcing contacts to China and India.
You may already have international trade initiatives in place or you may be considering this step as part of your business expansion. Depending on your objectives, we’ll advise on appropriate strategies and tactics and the resulting scenarios.
We can advise you on import and export, distribution agreements with an agent or distributor in the target country, in which case we will source suitable candidates and prepare contracts with the goal to help clients establish international trade and distribution cost-effectively.
