APE Consulting Ltd

Over the past two years, Stephen's guidance has made a significant difference to our business. He has helped us grow our sales, expand our product range, employ staff and organise our financials and marketing. Stephen genuinely works hard to consider the best way for us to grow our businesses. He sees the big picture while also helping us focus on the finer details. One of his greatest skills is his ability to listen. He asks the right questions, pushing us to think outside the square and more strategically about our business. His vast experience in the business world, particularly in retail, is really helpful when we need assistance with costing and pricing, product sourcing, looking at our financials and our profitability. He gives us the confidence to make decisions and move forward. Beyond his professional expertise, Stephen is a really great person to work with. His positive attitude and warm personality make our mentoring sessions enjoyable and motivational. We always look forward to our meetings, knowing that he’ll leave us with lots of new ideas and a lovely big focused ‘to-do’ list of tasks to move our business forward. I wholeheartedly recommend Stephen to any business seeking a mentor.

Over the last 4 months, Stephen has provided clear, practical and easy to implement marketing advice for me as a new business owner. At first, I was apprehensive if he would be the right fit for me and whether investing in marketing training while cashflow was getting off the ground was a wise decision. However, Stephens guidance and advice has been invaluable in teaching me how to approach clients and articulate the value I can provide them. Now the marketing training is complete, I will continue to use Stephen in a business mentor capacity moving forward.

Our team has been working with Stephen for the past 3 months to develop our understanding of B2B sales and develop a marketing strategy that works. Stephen's advise and guidance has helped us grow our sales (have seen improved results in this time) and helped us develop a robust marketing strategy for continued growth. Stephen is both professional and very knowledgeable in his area of expertise around marketing. We highly recommend and we look forward to working with him again in the future to continue to develop what we have done so far.
