Simon Newman

 

 

Business name:

Miller McKenzie
 
website:
 
Two ways we can help Simon:
  • Help me get to where I want to be
  • Referrals from any companies that need Executive search expertise

 

Simon's conclusion: 
‘Your idea for the website we see holds out lots of possibilities.’

Bruce Munton

 

 Business name:

Bruce Munton Photography
 
 
Three ways we can help Bruce:
  • You could refer me to anyone you know who may require the services of a Wedding & events photographer. 
  • Share any skills, information, contacts or tools which you think may support me in my quest to reach the next level in my photography business.
  • Give as much constructive critiscism as you can, without reserve. Be as candid as you can – I do not get offended easily. I require this if I am to achieve radical growth in my business.
   

Bruce is writing a book:
‘My first book will be on personal development and I have a wobbly structure for it, that is all I know at this point. And this decision came to me this morning in answer your question posed on your newsletter’

 

Liz Clews

 

Business name:

Tranquility Lifestyle Centre
 
website:
 
 
 
Three ways we can help Liz:
  • I want to look towards Tranquility being sustainable by September 2008, whilst I venture into a further passion how can this be left when I am the general dog’s body? With being a non profit making small business monies are very limited and barely unable to afford me let alone assistance. I believe there are people that fill out grants on a no grant no fee basis? who? what/ where? This would allow me to develop new projects and free me up to deliver what I’m actually good at and not the everyday drudgery stuff that’s dissipates both my energy and time.
  • I would like to be introduced to a company/companies that is willing to take on the health and well being of their employees to enhance working relationships in-house and externally, thus saving ever increasing sickness payments and unnatural pressure on other employees.
  • With the need of grants is changing to Company ltd by Guarantee the best option and what does it mean in simple language!? I’ve only just worked out what a social enterprise is! I think !

  

Liz knows where she's going:

‘Now I have a plan for 2008!’

 

Susan Alderman
 
 
Business name:
The Lounge
 
 
Three ways we can help Susan:
  • Learn how to market my business without it costing a lot of money        
  • Get new customers through the door and existing ones to return more often
  • Look at other uses for my business premise

 

Susan's motivated:
I now realise that success is in my hands. I tried your idea of a singles night and it was a real success. I already have bookings for the next one. I’m also going to start teaching again.’

 

Angela Sach

Business name:
Waltham Herbs Ltd
 
website:
 
 
Three ways we can help Angela:
  • We are struggling with formatting the business plan
  • Designing a leaflet to target landscapers and garden designers to supply them with plants for their garden projects.
  • We are searching for a compost mixer (second hand), a labelling system, a trailer that fits 7 plant trolleys (maybe second hand) and automated irrigation for the nursery.
 

  

Angela's taken the plunge:
‘You'll be pleased to know we got an article published in the Market Rasen Mail and we have finished our Business Plan. I have finished work and now work fulltime in the business, so I am on target with all our goals.!’

 

We don't have profiles for these two but here's what they said:

Pat Hinch

‘I needed the kick up the backside and am now more receptive to new ideas. I would not have started making gates without Boot Camp!’

Anne Read

‘Thank you for getting me to open up again, I would not have done it if we had not discussed coincidences’
