Independent business consultant helping ambitious SME owners in South Wales and across the UK. Grow revenue, manage risk, and achieve ISO certification without corporate bureaucracy or graduate consultant guesswork.
We’re passionate advocates for small businesses as they are the lifeblood of the UK economy. From the self-employed and sole traders to micro and small businesses, you keep the nation running. We combine over two decades of operational and strategic expertise to solve the real-world challenges that keep small business owners awake at night.
Our proven track record in business development (including £25M+ in revenue generation since 2010), risk management, and systems assurance empowers small businesses with the tools, partnerships, and confidence they need to win tenders, secure frameworks, and thrive in competitive markets.
Partnership-Driven Growth
We believe in building genuine strategic partnerships, not just client relationships. With a long-term, multi-sector 95%+ customer retention rate and 85%+ tender conversion success, we work alongside small businesses as trusted advisors who understand your industry challenges from the ground up.
Our extensive network across tier 1 contractors and their supply chain to small business organizations opens doors that might otherwise remain closed, creating opportunities for sustainable business development and long-term success.
Empowering Excellence
We’re passionate about levelling the playing field for small businesses, providing the same calibre of business development, risk management, and assurance services that major players take for granted.
Through ISO certification support, tendering expertise, and strategic planning, we empower small businesses with the competence and confidence to compete successfully in demanding markets while maintaining the agility that makes small businesses the backbone of the UK economy.
Practical Problem-Solving
Our real-world experience across rail, construction, utilities, and heavy industry has taught us that small businesses need solutions that actually work in practice, not just on paper.
From achieving 97.5% audit success rates (against ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and RISQS qualification) over 10 years, to managing £1M+ budgets while reducing costs, we bring operational expertise and strategic insight that translates complex compliance requirements into manageable, profitable business processes that strengthen your competitive position.
