We've worked with Paul on a number of occasions: his expertise has been invaluable and it tends to be a good and easy discussion as we have many shared values in business. He's advised us on matters ranging from operational coffee shop issues, to grant applications. Most recently, he's given us some timely and actionable advice relating to networking events (a weak spot of mine!). We put these into action straight away and had a much more fruitful evening as a result. Highly recommended!

Wow! Simple, honest, practical advice! I won a competition that Paul ran whereby he gave me an hour of his time to talk about the things I was struggling with and offer suggestions and helpful tips. I walked away from that hour with so many ideas about how I could take my business forward. He has suggested some books that would benefit me (and sent me links to buy them straight away) as well as practical advice and some new connections who could help me further! Thank you so much, Paul, for your time. I'm not sure what you usually charge for this hour, but I can guarantee to anyone that it is worth every penny! Thanks to you, my brain is buzzing with ideas to improve my business. Sometimes, all it takes is for someone to show you the wood when you are stuck looking at trees. You gave me great advice to help me work smarter, not harder! And reminded me that we can always make more money, we cannot make more time!

I have known Paul in his current role for almost 3 years now and what a pleasure it is working with someone who has the heart of the business community and the business owner upper and foremost in everything he does. Paul is a true entrepreneur with many strings to his bow. He writes great articles about the needs of a business and how to excel as a business owner. He is engaging in his speaking and interviewing skills which he now does on a regular basis at networking and speaker events. Paul brings a pragmatic approach to what he does, he is a stickler for accountability and ownership in everything he engages with - which I love and quite rightly! Paul is also very creative in his thinking, in his problem solving and in his writing, mixed with his pragmatic qualities makes for being around him fun, engaging, enlightening yet with purpose, outcomes and an action plan.
