Private Group

&lt;p&gt;In my early career&amp;nbsp;I was national sales manager and&amp;nbsp;board director&amp;nbsp;within private and publicly&amp;nbsp;owned businesses,&amp;nbsp;before forming my own consultancy practise in 2003,&amp;nbsp;where it was my aim&amp;nbsp;to bring professional support for meticulous planning and development&amp;nbsp;to other independent companies. I&amp;nbsp;became a full member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Levitt Group in 2006,&amp;nbsp;becoming&amp;nbsp;Chartered in 2009.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since 2003, I have worked with Royal Warrant holding businesses&amp;nbsp;allied to the construction industry&amp;nbsp;in manufacturing, wholesaling&amp;nbsp;and services,&amp;nbsp;whilst also working with non-Warrant holding companies in the retail and leisure sectors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2012&amp;nbsp;Enterprise Nation invited me to help support members like you through&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;accredited Growth Voucher scheme;&amp;nbsp;this work saw me recognised by those clients who had benefitted from my support and in 2015 I was honoured to be named, &amp;#39;One of Britain&amp;#39;s Top 50 Small Business Advisors&amp;#39;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 2013&amp;nbsp;I was invited to join an executive board&amp;nbsp;to support the management and shareholders of that company as an NED and more recently&amp;nbsp;I became an ambassador for a financial services firm which&amp;nbsp;works together with me to support business owners expand and ultimately sell their businesses. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Throughout the many years my practise has been running,&amp;nbsp;I have received some truly wonderful endorsements&amp;nbsp;which have all been generously written by my clients, all&amp;nbsp;of whom I&amp;nbsp;can now count as friends. If you believe my experience and skills can help you with the&amp;nbsp;hopes and desires you have for your business and you would like to read these endorsements, I&amp;#39;d be happy to share them with you, so please get in touch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Away from work,&amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;m a keen&amp;nbsp;yachtsman and dinghy racer (unfortunately, due to&amp;nbsp;time and my age I&amp;#39;m prevented from doing this other than for the fun/challenge of it!).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Best wishes&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cara Sayer is a straight-talking entrepreneur and inventor. A popular speaker at events, she tells it like it is. Cara started her business in 2009 based on her need for a product that didn’t exist. She wanted her baby daughter to sleep when they were out and about – and she believed that many other parents had this same problem. So she decided to create a solution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With no experience in retail or manufacturing, she created SnoozeShade, the world’s best-selling range of baby sun and sleep shades. Her brand is recommended by leading baby experts all over the world, has won more than 70 awards, is used by celebrities and royalty and, most importantly, has helped hundreds of thousands of parents worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Despite initial public success in selling in major retailers and with 20+ distributors globally, 2014 saw Cara getting divorced and realising that her business was not profitable enough to pay the bills. When she saw Facebook ads showing how a garlic press could make a million, she decided to learn how to sell on Amazon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since 2016, Cara has more than tripled her turnover and doubled profit and her products are Amazon best-sellers in the very competitive baby category. As she frequently gets asked how she has done it, Cara started holding small workshops to teach other independent product brand businesses how to increase their sales on Amazon with ’Make It Brand It Sell It’.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cara loves passing on to other owners of small businesses what she has learned, sharing the real ups and downs of running and growing a business.&lt;/p&gt;
