Growth Consultancy

You've Built a Solid Business. Now Let's Scale It.

Most established SMEs hit a ceiling. Not because the market isn't there, but because growth requires a different approach than survival did.

Strategic digital growth consultancy for business owners ready to break through their current revenue plateau.

We work with ambitious SMEs business owners throughout the UK.

  • Manufacturing & Engineering firms (£500K-£5M)

  • Construction & Trade Contractors (£250K-£3M)

  • Professional Service Firms (£200K-£2M)

  • Wholesale & Distribution businesses

  • B2B Service Providers

  • Specialist Consultancies

  • Healthcare & Medical Practices

  • Established Local Businesses seeking regional growth

Our Growth Consultancy service is designed for businesses that:

  • Generate £100K-£5M annual revenue and want to double it

  • Have a solid foundation but lack a coherent digital growth strategy

  • Know they're missing opportunities online but don't know where to start

  • Currently get most business through referrals and relationships (which has limits)

  • Have tried "marketing agencies" that delivered activity but not results

  • Need someone who understands business, not just tactics

  • Want a strategic partner, not just a supplier executing tasks

This is for business owners and directors who:

  • Understand that growth requires investment, not just spending

  • Are willing to challenge how they currently do things

  • Want to be involved in the strategy, not just handed reports

  • Are prepared to give this 6-12 months, not looking for quick fixes

Not right for you if:

  • You just need a website built. (See Custom Websites instead.)

  • You want someone to "just run the ads" without strategic input.

  • You're not prepared to invest time in the process—this requires your involvement.

We accelerate business growth.

Strategic clarity, not random tactics

Most businesses jump between tactics—a bit of social media, some Google Ads, maybe SEO—with no coherent strategy. We build a digital growth strategy aligned with your actual business objectives.

Focus on revenue, not vanity metrics

We don't care about your website traffic or social media followers unless they're converting to enquiries and sales. Everything is measured against business outcomes.

Experienced perspective from outside your bubble

25 years of senior management experience including PE-backed businesses means we understand commercial reality, not just marketing theory. We've been in the boardroom, not just the agency office.

Ongoing optimisation, not set-and-forget

Growth consultancy is continuous. We monitor, test, refine, and adapt based on what's actually working in your market.

Integrated approach across all digital touchpoints

Your website, Google presence, email marketing, content strategy, and conversion processes need to work together. We orchestrate the whole ecosystem, not just individual channels.

Implementation support, not just recommendations

We don't hand you a 50-page strategy document and disappear. We work with you to implement, troubleshoot, and execute.

Access to senior-level thinking at SME-friendly investment

You get strategic input typically reserved for much larger businesses, without hiring a Marketing Director or engaging £10K/month agencies.

Everything you need to unlock your potential in one place.

What We Don't Do

To be clear about scope:

We're not a full-service marketing agency. We don't design logos, shoot videos, or manage your social media accounts. If you need execution of specific tactics, we'll guide strategy and recommend specialists.

We don't run paid advertising for you. We'll develop the strategy and help you set it up, but if you want ongoing ad management, that requires additional specialists or budget.

We're not order-takers. This is consultancy, which means we'll challenge your assumptions and occasionally tell you what you don't want to hear. If you want someone to just execute your ideas without pushback, we're not the right fit.

We can't guarantee specific results. Growth depends on many factors including your market, product, pricing, and competition. We can promise strategic thinking, honest advice, and continuous optimisation—but not miracle outcomes.

FAQS

Your most frequently asked questions, answered.

Why 6 months minimum?

Digital growth takes time. It takes 2-3 months to properly implement strategy and start seeing meaningful data. Anything less is just tactical firefighting, not strategic growth.

What if we already have a website/marketing agency?

That's fine. We can work alongside your existing team or suppliers, providing strategic direction they execute. Or we can assess whether they're actually delivering value.

How much of your time do we actually get?

Roughly 8-12 hours of direct time monthly, plus email/phone access for strategic questions. Quality of thinking matters more than hours logged.

Do you work with our competitors?

We won't work with direct competitors in your immediate market. If there's a potential conflict, we'll discuss it upfront.

What if we need more than what's included?

We're flexible. If your business needs additional hours or specific projects, we'll quote separately. The retainer covers strategic consultancy; execution of major projects is scoped individually.

Can we pause if business gets tight?

We'd rather have an honest conversation about what's realistic than lock you into something unsustainable. Short pauses are possible, though momentum is lost. Cancellation requires 30 days notice.

What results should we expect?

Depends entirely on your starting point and market. Most clients see measurable improvement in lead quality and quantity within 3-6 months. Revenue impact varies based on your sales process and pricing.

How involved do we need to be?

You'll need to commit to monthly review meetings and be available for strategic questions. This works best as a partnership, not us operating in isolation.

Do you work with businesses outside of the midlands?

Yes. Most work is done remotely anyway. Quarterly in-person meetings are valuable but not essential. We work with businesses across the Midlands and occasionally beyond.

What if you're not the right fit?

Better to discover that early. If after a month or two it's clear we're misaligned, we'll have an honest conversation. No hard feelings, no bad blood.

Can you help us hire a marketing person?

Yes, we can advise on what role you actually need, help write job specs, and provide strategic direction for whoever you hire. Some clients use us to guide internal hires.

Let's have an honest conversation about growth.

Some businesses aren't ready for this level of strategic investment. Others have been ready for years but haven't found the right partner. Let's figure out which you are.
