My Story

From Clothing Business Owner to Business Coach

For 24 years, I lived and breathed the clothing, workwear, embroidery, print and promotional products industry. I know the industry because I’ve lived it.

Like many family businesses, ours wasn’t always successful. There were difficult years. Cashflow challenges. Team challenges. Supplier challenges. Market changes. Long hours. Stress. Uncertainty.

But through better systems, stronger leadership, improved accountability — and the support of a business coach — we transformed the business completely.

Over the years we:

  • Built a multi-million-pound business and respected industry reputation

  • Developed long-term supplier partnerships across the UK, Europe and Far East

  • Created systems and processes that improved performance and efficiency

  • Built and led a growing team of more than 40 people

  • Increased profitability and expanded our international customer base

  • Created a business that ultimately became sellable after 24 years

Today, I help business owners achieve the same results. No theory. No corporate jargon. Just practical advice from someone who has built, grown and sold a business in your industry.

  • 24+ years — Founded & built his own company
  • 7 years — Coached himself, transforming his business
  • 2023 — Qualified as an ActionCOACH
  • Today — Helping SMEs & family businesses grow

You Don't Need to Explain Your Business to Me

Yes, most advisors and coaches understand business. Very few understand your industry. For 24 years I lived and breathed clothing, headwear, workwear, embroidery, print and promotional merchandise.

I understand exactly what you’re talking about. Because I spent over two decades doing it.

My Coaching Framework

How Can I Help

Six areas of focused work. Each one designed to create measurable results in your business — not just conversations about possibility.

Increase Profit

Sharpen your margins, improve pricing strategy, and fix cashflow leaks that are quietly holding you back.

Develop Leaders

Build a management team that takes real responsibility — so you're leading a business, not babysitting one.

Create Accountability

Build a culture where people own their results and performance becomes the norm, not the exception.

Build Better Systems

Reduce your dependency on yourself. Create processes that let the business run even when you're not there.

Grow Sales & Marketing

Build a reliable, repeatable pipeline of leads and sales. Stop relying on word-of-mouth alone.

Plan for Succession

Whether you're passing it on to family or planning a future sale — build a business with real value beyond you.

Why family businesses work with me

Family Businesses Are Different. And I Know Why.

The challenges are often hidden beneath the surface. Family relationships. Succession planning. Role confusion. Lack of accountability. Long-serving employees. Emotional decision-making. Generational differences.

I’ve experienced many of these challenges personally. I understand how to balance family relationships with commercial success — because I’ve had to do exactly that.

Who I Work With

Whilst my expertise is rooted in clothing and merchandise, the business principles I teach apply across all sectors.
