We are a general business consultancy specialising in Family Business Problems.My 35 years experience in the Thorntons confectionery family business has particularly qualified me for this work.

Family Business Problems

Family Business has its own specific problems such as:

• Conflict due to the mixture of family and business
  
• Management Succession
  
• Ownership Succession
  
• Matching Family & Business Goals
  
• Training and Developing Family Managers
  
• The Management Team
  etc.

"Surgeries"
I am prepared to run initial, private and confidential, no commitment and free-of-charge one-to-one 2 hour "Surgeries" for family business people to provide assistance, to propose new directions and to establish if necessary parameters for further work. These would be run on your premises or "neutral ground"

Non- Executive Director
Many companies, particularly family companies, can benefit from the independence of a non-executive director.

General Business Consultancy

Apart from family business, I am a widely experienced and highly motivated business director and manager with a strong background in food both manufacturing and retailing. I have experience in every function within business including, finance, marketing, manufacturing, selling, retailing, franchising, logistics and human relations. I can provide consultancy or mentoring in these fields.
I am available for free-of-charge, no commitment initial discussions.
