HOW WE WORK (IN 3 STEPS)

1: Diagnose (weeks 1-3)

We review your current business performance overall and get a clear understanding of your strengths and areas to improve. Plus we agree on your 90‑day wins.

2: Rhythm & Roadmap (Weeks 4–12) 

Based on our discoveries, we create a personalised Leadership Rhythm that includes a weekly senior team routine, role clarity, a 1‑page scorecard, and decision rules.

Step 3: Scale & Valuation (Months 3–12) 

We’ll guide you through our proven process to grow your Margins, cash acceleration, a clean board pack, and an optional exit plan.

Today vs Tomorrow

Today (what you’re living):

• Variations and rework erode your margin; retentions squeeze cash; programmes slip. 

• Capacity gaps and churn hit on‑time delivery. 

• Rota gaps and handovers cause backlogs. 

• You’re dragged into firefighting and emergencies; decisions are slow; the team works hard but the system isn’t working.

Tomorrow (what we will build together):

• A leadership team that runs day‑to‑day with a clear weekly leadership rhythm. 

• Delivery predictability improves; margin erosion reduces. 

• Cash strengthens (retentions/WIP under control); the board pack is clean. 

• You have time for family & hobbies—and the option to exit well.

    Since working with Tim, our operations are clearer, our Senior Team collaborates better, and profits have increased.

    This improved our bottom line and created a culture of continuous improvement.

    We’re confident about the future and excited for growth.

    Thanks to Tim, we have a strong strategy and Senior Team.

    At Tyson Construction, we highly recommend Tim for better strategy and lasting growth”

  • “Before Tim, our business was chaotic...

    I’d fallen out of love with the business.

    Now, we’re more profitable, winning bigger contracts, and we’re in control again...

    I genuinely believe I would’ve walked away from the business entirely without him.

    Instead, I’m now more passionate, motivated, and excited for what’s ahead."

    Laurence Barrow, MD of Barrow Electrical

    July 2024

  • “Working with Tim has made a massive difference.

    Just look at the numbers! The numbers don’t lie do they!?

    I’d recommend Tim to anyone”

    Ian Birtwell - MD of ISB Engineering

    December 2024

  • "We’ve only been working with Tim for a short while, but already the impact has been significant.

    What stands out most is how quickly he understood the unique challenges of our industry — and how he takes on those challenges with us.

    He’s not just a coach offering advice; he’s someone who genuinely wants to help us find solutions that work in the real world.

    His influence has brought greater clarity to our goals and leadership, challenged me to think and act more strategically, and pushed me to grow not only as a business owner but as a person.

    The power of having this kind of support — at this stage of the journey — gives me real confidence that we can take Middlewood Joinery to where I envisioned it when I first started out!”

    Jay Middleton : MJI , August 2025

Having built and scaled businesses to £32 million in revenue and achieved successful exits, I now support family-owned companies in implementing systems that enable growth, autonomy, and flexible exit strategies—without requiring your involvement in every decision.
