West Lancashire
Helping frustrated founders & business owners overcome sales plateaus and prepare for their future.
And there’s no doubt about it; I will engage your leadership team and supercharge your business growth plan. I’m not just a business coach or business consultant, he’s way more than that.
I won’t tell you what to do, or how to do it – it’s YOUR business and YOUR dream, instead I’m your Sherpa Guide, guiding you up your mountain to success.
I cover the entire area of West Lancashire, which includes Blackpool, Fylde, Wyre, Preston, South Ribble, Ormskirk and Skelmersdale and Southport. Therefore, if your business is located in one of the boroughs, and you’re looking to grow your business, or you are looking for a business coach or business consultant in West Lancashire to partner with you, your board and your business, then I am the perfect person for you to engage with.
I’m a business leader known for driving transformational growth and cultivating highly engaged corporate cultures. As the former Managing Director of Tharstern, a leading technology company in Lancashire, I led a successful management buyout backed by private equity in 2014.
Transitioning to CEO, I focused on working on the business, implementing transformative strategies that redefined the company’s mission, vision, and values. This led to an innovative employee engagement programme, enhancing mental and physical wellbeing, alignment, and communication, resulting in a remarkable cultural transformation akin to a startup environment.
My leadership saw the development of a cutting-edge, cloud-based product that disrupted the industry and solidified Tharstern’s market leader position. I strategically expanded Tharstern’s operations into North America, building a loyal customer base that drove significant revenue growth.
Under my guidance, Tharstern won prestigious awards, including Medium Business of the Year at the BiBAs and Employer of the Year at the Red Rose Awards. Ultimately, I led Tharstern to a successful exit, selling to a global company and delivering excellent shareholder returns.
Now at SUMMIT, I leverages all this experience to help business owners unlock their full potential, drive growth, and maximise shareholder value.

My favourite value
Be Yourself – I really do believe it’s important to embrace who we are and celebrate both our strengths and our weaknesses. Because it’s these unique characteristics that make us interesting, and makes life fun. You should always trust your gut, and be proud of who you are and the decisions that you make.
