Business Coaching for Industries I Know.

Professional service businesses are often built around the knowledge and expertise of their owners.

But being excellent at your profession doesn’t automatically make running the business straightforward.

With more than 25 years of experience as a Chartered Building Surveyor, including senior management roles and running professional services businesses, I understand the commercial pressures involved.

From setting appropriate professional fees and managing client expectations to generating instructions, organising workloads and maintaining profitability, these are challenges I’ve experienced first-hand.

I can help professional service business owners develop stronger commercial thinking, improve their organisation and build a practice that supports their professional and personal ambitions.

Relevant businesses may include surveyors, consultants, architects, engineers and other professional service providers.

My professional background in building surveying, construction and my early days as joiner have given me extensive exposure to residential and commercial property, construction projects, contractors and building trades.

I understand many of the commercial challenges faced by tradespeople and construction businesses.

Winning suitable work, pricing jobs accurately, controlling costs, managing customers, scheduling work and protecting profit margins are fundamental to operating a sustainable business.

Being a skilled tradesperson is one thing. Developing a well-organised, profitable business around those skills is another.

My coaching can help tradespeople and construction business owners take a more structured approach to pricing, customer acquisition, organisation and business development.

Relevant businesses may include builders, roofers, electricians, plumbers, decorators, joiners, refurbishment contractors and specialist trades.

Health and wellness businesses often begin with a passion for helping people.

However, delivering an excellent service is only part of building a successful business.

Through my practical involvement with wellness businesses, being involved in a health and fitness business over the last 10 years, combined with my experience in website development, digital marketing and customer acquisition, I understand the importance of filling appointments and classes, retaining customers, managing capacity and setting sustainable prices.

Whether you operate a Pilates studio, personal training business, physiotherapy practice, or another wellness service, the commercial side of the business matters just as much as the quality of the service you provide.

I can help owners think more clearly about marketing, client retention, recurring revenue, profitability, organisation and long-term sustainability.
