HELPING MANUFACTURING + WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION SMEs GROW THROUGH SALES MANAGEMENT + B2B E-COMMERCE STRATEGY IN A FRACTIONAL CAPACITY.
Sitting as part of your senior management team but only for a fraction of the working week and therefore a fraction of the cost of having someone with the same level of experience.
I work directly with the business owners to understand the challenges and vision. From there I work on developing a strategy to ensure everyone is moving in the same direction.
Absolutely not. I am not just a consultant where I tell you what you need to do and walk away. My typical projects are 6-9 months on a fractional basis meaning I manage the delivery of the strategy across the period.
Do I work with everyone?
My main experience is working with SME's with a turnover of between £3M - £30M. With a lot of experience working across different regions I am happy to work internationally and love a challenge.

My approach offers a cost effective fractional alternative to having a full time Director with my experience. I believe that this approach allows me to work at pace and direct my time to the areas that have the biggest impact.
"Richard is a tenacious and result driven expert in delivering measurable strategic change. I've personally worked with Richard across two large SME projects where he drove forward success in each business by implementing a structured plan with a solid vision for results, this was from boardroom right through to logistics and anywhere in between. He has a knack of pulling teams together and delivering against objectives."

“I have to say he made a huge impact in a very short period of time. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard for senior leadership sales & marketing roles. Richard was quick to identify what was going wrong and devised and executed appropriate strategies to address the underlying issues in short order.”
