STRATEGIC ADVISORY
CONSULT
WITH ME
Strategic business advisory for founders and CEOs who want honest, experienced guidance. I don’t do corporate waffle — I tell you what you need to hear.
THE APPROACH
NO BOLLOCKS ADVISORY
Most consultants tell you what you want to hear. I tell you what you need to hear. With 25+ years of building, breaking, and rebuilding businesses across dozens of sectors, I bring a perspective that no MBA textbook can teach.
I’ve made every mistake in the book — so you don’t have to. I’ve been bankrupt, I’ve built hundred-million-pound portfolios, I’ve hired and fired hundreds of people, and I’ve navigated every crisis from recessions to pandemics.
When you work with me, you get the unfiltered truth. The stuff your team is too scared to tell you. The stuff your board doesn’t see. The stuff that will actually move the needle.
“I don’t do corporate waffle. I do results.”
EXPERTISE
WHAT I ADVISE ON
Growth Strategy
Scaling from 6 to 7 figures, 7 to 8 figures, or breaking through a plateau. I've done all three — multiple times.
Fundraising
Raising capital from investors, structuring deals, and navigating due diligence. I've raised and deployed over £1B.
Turnaround
Business in trouble? I've been bankrupt and rebuilt. I know what it takes to turn a sinking ship around.
Team & Leadership
Hiring, firing, culture, and building a team that doesn't need you. The hardest part of scaling.
Exit Planning
Preparing your business for sale, maximising valuation, and navigating M&A. I've bought and sold dozens of companies.
Operations
Cutting waste, improving margins, and building systems that scale. The boring stuff that makes you rich.
Personal Brand
Building a brand that generates leads, opens doors, and makes you the authority in your space.
Product & Market
Product-market fit, pricing strategy, go-to-market planning. Getting the fundamentals right before you scale.
REAL EXPERIENCE. REAL RESULTS.
NOT THEORY. PRACTICE.

RESULTS
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Matt's consulting saved my business. He identified three critical issues in our first session that I'd been blind to for years. Within 6 months, we'd doubled our margins.
David Okonkwo
MD, Apex Properties
Worth every penny. Matt doesn't sugarcoat anything, and that's exactly what I needed. He told me to fire my sales director, restructure my pricing, and focus on 3 products instead of 12. Revenue up 40%.
Sophie Turner
CEO, Bloom Digital
I've worked with Big 4 consultants who charged 10x more and delivered 10x less. Matt gives you actionable advice, not PowerPoint presentations.
Chris Patel
Founder, Patel Group
The Strategy Day was a turning point. Matt saw things in my business that nobody else had spotted. We restructured our entire go-to-market approach and hit our annual target in 7 months.
Emma Richards
CEO, Richards Media
The best investment you’ll ever make isn’t in your business — it’s in the advice that stops you making expensive mistakes.

FAQ
COMMON QUESTIONS
What makes your consulting different from McKinsey or Deloitte?
They send you a 25-year-old with an MBA and a PowerPoint. I give you 25+ years of actually building, breaking, and rebuilding businesses. I don't do theory — I do reality. And I tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
What sectors do you work with?
Most sectors. I've built or invested in property, hospitality, tech, e-commerce, healthcare, financial services, media, and more. Business fundamentals are universal — the principles of growth, cash flow, and leadership apply everywhere.
How do I know if I need consulting or just funding?
If your business model works and you just need capital, go to my lending page. If you're not sure why growth has stalled, your team isn't performing, or you need strategic direction — that's what consulting is for. Often, the answer is both.
Can I bring my leadership team to sessions?
Absolutely. For Strategy Days and Ongoing Advisory, bringing your key people is encouraged. Some of the biggest breakthroughs happen when the whole leadership team is in the room and I can see the dynamics.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. Everything discussed is confidential. I work with competitors in the same sectors sometimes, and I take confidentiality seriously. Happy to sign your NDA before we start.
What if I don't like what you tell me?
That's kind of the point. If you wanted someone to agree with everything you say, you wouldn't need a consultant. The value is in the uncomfortable truths. That said, I'm direct but not cruel — I want you to succeed.
How quickly can I book a session?
Power Hours can usually be booked within 1-2 weeks. Strategy Days within 2-4 weeks depending on my schedule. Ongoing Advisory has limited spots \xE2\x80\x94 apply and we'll discuss availability.
READY?
STOP GUESSING.
START KNOWING.
Every month you spend figuring it out alone is a month your competitors are getting ahead. Get the advice that actually moves the needle.
