Market & Me
One business owner I worked with grew his profit 15% while cutting over 350 labour hours. He’s exercising again, he’s more present with his family, and he read 23 books last year.
I work 1:1 with growing and established founders and businesses in retail, hospitality and lifestyle. If the tills aren’t busy enough, you’re working harder than ever and the profit isn’t moving, working harder won’t fix it. Strategy will.
And sometimes the problem is that you’re second-guessing decisions, carrying the lot on your own, and playing smaller than you could be. I’ll be your anchor here too, because your business will never outgrow the person running it.
I’ve spent 20+ years in retail and hospitality, half running teams and shops, half on the landlord side at Westfield and Transport for London. I know what founders need because I am one. I know what brands need because I grew up in them. I know what landlords need because I’ve sat in their meetings and developed their strategies.
If you’re not sure what’s next, I’ll look at the whole business with you. That might be a new site, a price rise, a tough call about your team, or working out where the profit has gone. You leave with a plan you can act on.
