I am the founder of RedBorder Ltd., with over 20 years of experience supporting small and micro-businesses to thrive. I am passionate about championing underrepresented entrepreneurs and have dedicated my career to fostering inclusivity, ethical business practices, and community wealth-building.
My work in economic development, including with organisations such as London &amp; Partners, has given me the opportunity to design innovative programmes like the Clicks 2 Mortar initiative, which helps high street businesses and online entrepreneurs maximise their potential.
My expertise comes not only from professional achievements but also from lived experiences. Growing up in Guyana, I saw firsthand how communities harnessed their skills and resources to create sustainable wealth. Those experiences shaped my commitment to empowering others and building resilient communities.
When I’m not supporting businesses, I love bringing fresh ideas to life and finding the perfect balance between creativity and practicality.

Founder

RedBorder supply readiness support gets you on key supplier portals, taking the admin off your hands so you can focus on your business growth.

I’m Clare, the founder and director of UK Ducks In A Row Ltd.
I spent over a decade in the travel industry and the same amount of time in local government.  My diverse background gives me a unique outlook on how businesses run and how to serve clients effectively. Motivated by the opportunity that the Covid-19 pandemic presented for increasing demand for virtual assistance I embraced entrepreneurship. Drawing on my expertise in project, business, and event management, I set up UK Ducks In A Row, an Outsourcing Agency that ensures that clients receive exceptional customer service and support tailored to their unique needs.  What&apos;s more, I deliver a professional and personable service with integrity and a positive approach.
Why Ducks In A Row?
Because we help you get your ducks in a row no matter what organisation you work for. We help get processes, procedures, and admin streamlined. We get your ducks in a row to make planning, projects, and events run smoothly.
My business has been through a period of rapid growth which is why I and the team are so well-equipped to assist and support businesses with their growth. It&apos;s this reason that The Productivity Club was born.
We are outsourcing specialists for all of your projects, events, business, and administration needs. We call upon excellent partners in our network for service areas we don’t offer in-house. If you are looking for a videographer, photographer, digital expert, outsourced HR specialist, business finance, or something else, we’ve got you covered.
<h4>We make outsourcing easy.</h4>

Marinda Malan — Business Growth Consultant | Founder, Marinda Malan Consulting
I help founders and commercial leaders turn unpredictable growth into structured, measurable traction.
With 20+ years’ experience across South Africa, the UAE, and Europe, I’ve led over 200 growth initiatives spanning telecoms, digital platforms, and subscription-led businesses. Today, I run a boutique consultancy that helps internet-first businesses scale with more clarity and less chaos.
My work starts with tightening the commercial fundamentals — your value proposition, positioning, go-to-market strategy, and delivery systems. Then we layer in the right tools — automation, AI, and data-led decision support — to amplify what works and remove what doesn’t.
Clients call me when growth gets messy or reactive. They stay for the calm, commercial thinking that cuts through the noise and delivers results.
No fluff. No hype. Just smart strategy, sharp execution, and a clear path to sustainable growth.
