I'm a business accountability coach for established owners who are done with another year of good intentions. Thirty years building businesses, paired with weekly structure that turns what you already know into real results, in about 30 minutes a week. Based in Belfast, working across the UK and Ireland, in person and online.
Most owners don't need more ideas. They need the important things to actually get done. That gap between knowing and doing is where I work.
I've spent more than 30 years growing businesses across the UK and Ireland, from board-level strategy to hands-on startup support. Early on I trained and worked with Cadbury, Zurich, Ford and Marks & Spencer, across retail, motor, travel, financial services, media, FMCG and IT. I've won multi-million pound new business contracts and secured development funding for early-stage businesses.
These days I put all of that to one use: holding business owners to the standard they set for themselves.
Accountability isn't motivation, it's structure. Research shows owners who commit to a goal have around a 65% chance of following through. Add a regular check-in with someone holding the line, and that rises to 95%. My coaching combines three decades of commercial experience with behavioural science, habit formation and clear goal-setting, so the plan you keep meaning to act on finally gets executed, week after week.
I work with established owners who want to get out of the day-to-day, free up their time, or scale, in about 30 focused minutes a week. One client, a retail optician trapped running every part of his own business, told me he'd achieved more in three months with me than in the previous ten years on his own.
I'm CMI Level 5 qualified in Coaching and Mentoring, and an approved mentor for Invest NI's Regional Start Programme, Belfast City Council and Belfast MET. I'm based in Belfast and work in person and online across the UK and Ireland.
