I help business owners get unstuck, refocused and moving forward again
Most business owners do not struggle with ideas, they struggle with carrying too much on their own. Which creates pressure making it more difficult to make the right decisions.
After 30+ years running and building my own businesses across fashion retail, hospitality, manufacturing and events. I have seen what really slows people down. It is not a lack of ability, it is the mental load, the constant decision making and that feeling of being stuck while everything depends on you.
That is where I come in.
I work with business owners and senior leaders who feel under pressure or off-track, helping them get clear, make the decisions they have been avoiding and start moving forward again.
No fluff. No overcomplication. Just honest confidential conversations, clear thinking and consistent support.
I have worked with high achieving individuals, business leaders and owners in a range of sectors: Fashion, Banking, Legal, Health Care, Education, Manufacturing, Hospitality, Event planning, Software development, Accounting….
To give you the confidence that I have the credentials to support your development:

35+ yrs experience running multiple businesses, in numerous sectors including Fashion retail, Retail, Leisure, Hospitality and Manufacturing.
I have navigated the highs and lows of running my own business.
I understand the challenges, pressures, frustrations, loneliness, and the feelings of uncertainty that are associated with building successful businesses and being in leadership positions.
I am a certified master’s (MA) level 7 Executive business coach (University of Warwick Degree course) accredited by the Association of Coaching.
