Business and marketing support for small rural businesses
It’s hectic running your own business, isn’t it?
It’s easy to become overwhelmed by everything you need to do day to day to keep the show on the road and even though you’re working 10 or 12 hour days you regularly run out of time.
It’s not quite what you imagined when you started out, is it?
What you really want is to do whatever you do, be in control and grow your business without all the other stuff that doesn’t really interest you or you’re not sure how to handle, but gets in the way.
And that’s where I come in
I’m based on the Staffordshire/Derbyshire border and I’m a professional doer of things that need doing.
You don’t have to be stressed to be successful and you don’t have to do it alone. You deserve the help you need to get where your want to go. Allow yourself to ask for it.

Flexible
Or I can manage and complete a whole project for you, whether that’s developing your website or working with you to put together your digital marketing strategy.
Knowledgeable
With over 30 years experience of working in a variety of industries, I have a wealth or knowledge and experience and can support your small business with productivity, marketing and tech solutions through my ‘done for you’ services, mentoring and training.

Time saving
Just because you can do it, doesn’t mean you have to do it.
Wouldn’t you feel happier if you could just concentrate on doing whatever it is you do without worrying about the other stuff? And what about the hours and hours you spend long into the evening trying to figure out a bit of tech?
That’s where I come in. I can save hours of your valuable time by either doing it for you or showing you how to do it in easy steps.
Affordable
It’s a no brainer really. Let me do it or book a mentoring session with me, either face to face or online, and I’ll show you how to do it in easy steps.
And because I work freelance, there are no overheads. You just pay for the time I’m working with you.
