I help SMEs and startups to 
 achieve (seemingly) impossible things 

Angus is extraordinarily competitive and incredibly knowledgeable.

​

He seemed to breeze through complex challenges and the results he has produced have been outstanding!

The short version?
I look for opportunities and the best way to profit from them.
And I identify problems and work out the best ways to solve them.

The not-so-short version...

​

I create and execute strategies to help small-medium businesses to be more competitive, innovative and relevant.

​

I have a strong ability to spot hidden opportunities and my unique methodology ensures that even the most ambitious growth plans can be strategised, tested and executed quickly with limited resources.

Since 2004, I have been hired by businesses of all sizes to help them achieve aggressive or competitive growth from initial concepts and ideas through to market testing, project management and execution.

Working as a contractor, freelancer or consultant, I've helped over 250 businesses to become more competitive, innovative and relevant. Along the way, I've also bought/started and sold multiple successful businesses of my own.​

I love working with Angus. He has an inspiring way of crafting new business ideas that we had never considered and turning them into profitable outcomes.

​

I would not hesitate to recommend Angus' services to other businesses.
