ROMULUS ADVISORY Romulus is a consultancy for the hospitality industry. I help bar, club, hotel, pub and restaurant owners increase their revenue and profit whilst reducing their stress. I achieve this through developing a straegy with owners to increase turnover, manage costs and improve profitability. You can find me at www.romulus-advisory.co.uk or via social media listed under my personal social media profiles here. A Bit About Me I qualified as a chartered accountant in 1991 and proceeded to work in corporate finace organising mergers and acquistions, helping clients prepare strategies supported by strategic and business plans. From there I worked in the City for organisations such as Amey, Land Securities, London Underground and Sodexo. Since 2011 I have run my own businesses working with clients large and small including Wilmott Dixon and Ashley House. I have always had an interest in sustainability issues. In my childhood I noticed the change in biodiversity when our local deciduous forest was replaced with conifers. My passion was rekindled as the climate crisis worsened. Using my experience of strategy design and implementation I am helping organisations reach certification under the various environmental criteria out there e.g. B-Corp and ISO 14001. It is so great to combine a personal love with a business ambition. Equally, I have always had a passion for hospitality. I have helped many pubs, hotels and restaurants with their business issues including strategy, business growth and funding which has been both rewarding and pleasurable
