Our Business Services
-
Running a business without a plan often feels like guesswork. Strategic planning gives you clarity, direction, and a roadmap to reach your goals. I’ll work with you to break down where you are now, where you want to be, and the practical steps to get there — from setting clear targets to creating systems that actually work. Together, we’ll build a plan that keeps you focused, profitable, and in control of your business future.
-
The difference between a busy business and a profitable one often comes down to efficiency. I’ll work with you to spot where time, money, or resources are being wasted and put in smarter ways of working. From streamlining job bookings and supplier orders to improving communication with your team, we’ll cut out the inefficiencies that hold you back. The result? A leaner, smoother business that makes more profit with less effort.
-
The first steps in business are the most important. I help new owners get set up the right way from day one — from registering your company and sorting the essentials, to launching your website and creating a professional presence. We’ll cover the must-haves that every business needs in place before you start trading: branding, online setup, systems for quoting and invoicing, and a simple plan to win your first customers. With the right foundations, you’ll avoid costly mistakes and feel confident that your business is built to grow.
-
Getting noticed doesn’t have to be complicated. I help small businesses put simple, effective marketing in place that actually brings in customers. From sharpening up your brand and website, to making the most of social media and local advertising, to building a steady stream of word-of-mouth referrals — I’ll guide you on what works (and what doesn’t) so you’re not wasting time or money. Together, we’ll create a marketing approach that fits your business, attracts the right customers, and keeps the work coming in.

Many business owners know what they want to achieve but struggle to find the time — or the right people — to make it happen. I bridge that gap by acting as the link between you and your team. From making sure plans are executed, to putting the right people in the right roles, to keeping projects moving forward, I help turn ideas into action. Think of me as your extra set of hands and eyes — someone who makes sure the important work gets done, without you needing to be involved in every detail.
Meet me.
From the very start, business has always been my passion. While some people love the tools, I’ve always loved the challenge of building something bigger — creating systems, growing teams, and finding ways to turn hard work into profit. Eight years ago, I set up Bay Carpets with my family. What started as a small local flooring company has now delivered over £3 million in sales, employed a team of fitters and subcontractors, and served more than 3,000 happy customers across the region.
Along the way, I learned first-hand how tough it can be for small business owners. Most of us get into trades because we’re good at the job, not because we’re trained in finance, marketing, or leadership. I spent years reading, listening, and learning online — taking every bit of knowledge I could find — and then putting it into practice to make Bay Carpets more efficient, profitable, and scalable.
Now, with Up By Six, I want to give that same knowledge back. My goal is to help other small business owners avoid the mistakes, cut through the noise, and put the right systems in place so they can grow, earn more, and enjoy the freedom that comes with running a business the smart way.
On a personal note, I love spending time with Family and enjoy walks with my crazy Cocker Spaniel.
I would love to work with you.
