Emma Killilea
Founder, Delicious Alchemy
“Alan is a great business coach. He’s very perceptive, with excellent timing during the tussle of boardroom discussions. He’s helped me change the business from a high growth organisation heaving on its keel into a more relaxed, happy place, in which I’m doing far less with no loss of growth or standards.”
Jonny Round
MD, The Sound Agency
“Alan took time and care to understand our business needs and deliver to them. He helped us create a clear plan, with a lot of structure, so we knew exactly what to do. He enabled us to position our business clearly in the marketplace. He also advised us on our international distribution strategy, which is developing well. He brings creative rigour, business acumen and is a fountain of knowledge! He helps with whatever the business is challenged by and produces the right tools to help it succeed. He energises and trusts you, but he gives you a bollocking if you are doing the wrong thing! He is brilliant, supportive, positive and confident. Ultimately, he is obsessed with business excellence. I love working with him!”
Carrie Bedingfield
Entrepreneur and Investor
“I prize Alan’s insight, coaching and consulting very highly; he is one of the first people I seek when I need to make a difficult decision and the stakes are high. He is direct, scrupulous, sees the big picture and all the detail. He fights my corner and challenges me hard to think differently - as an entrepreneur, that’s my top combination! He also meets me (conceptually) at a place that leaves me energised, not overwhelmed.”
