SME Business Strategist

Business advice grounded in doing.

I work at the point where strategy meets reality: building businesses, testing routes to market, developing products and asking the commercial questions that matter.

What I focus on

Strategy without the theatre.

SMEs rarely need more jargon. They need clarity about customers, positioning, pricing, sales, execution and what to do next.

Growth

Turning ambition into measurable commercial activity and disciplined execution.

Sales & positioning

Making the offer easier to understand, easier to buy and easier to sell.

Experimentation

Testing ideas in the real world, publishing the evidence and learning from what actually happens.

Live case study

The £1M Journey

LXIV Skincare is not a theoretical case study. It is a live attempt to build a British skincare business towards £1 million turnover, documenting the decisions, mistakes and lessons along the way.
