You've built something real. Now it needs to grow without everything running through you. I've done it before — took a business from startup to £250M turnover. I can help you do the same.
This isn't for businesses looking for a quick fix, a slide deck that sits in a drawer, or a consultant who tells you what you want to hear. I work with founders and leaders running businesses between £1M and £20M who are serious about building something that lasts. If that sounds like you, we'll get on well.
You built it from nothing. Now you're stuck in the middle of everything. Revenue's between £1M and £20M but growth has stalled because the business can't move without you.
You're leading a growing business but the team, systems and culture haven't kept pace. You need someone who's actually been in the seat, not just read about it.
You want to sell or step away in the next few years. The business needs to run without you before it's worth what it should be.
I work across growth, people, technology and systems. Every engagement is shaped by where your business actually is and where you need it to go.
Turn bolt-on acquisitions into unified, high-performing operations. Due diligence through to cultural alignment — I've integrated 50+ businesses this way.
Protect existing revenue while growing your client base. Systems and behaviours that mean every client gets the attention they deserve, not just the loudest ones.
Performance dashboards and KPI frameworks so you're making decisions on evidence, not gut feel. Track value per instruction, not just volume.
Build a business that's attractive to buyers. Clean data, reduced key-person risk, sellable operations. The kind of business someone actually wants to acquire.
Post-acquisition, tech adoption, restructuring, cultural transformation — I keep momentum and morale intact when everything's shifting underneath you.
Your sounding board. I help you step back from the day-to-day without sacrificing performance or growth. Build a business that doesn't need you in every room.
Teams that are bought into your long-term vision. The kind that accelerate growth exponentially, not incrementally. Recruit right, develop well, keep the best.
Culture isn't a poster on the wall. It's how people behave when you're not watching. I build cultures of pace, productivity and genuine customer focus.
One-to-one and team coaching that turns competent managers into brilliant leaders. Not theory — practical, lasting capability your business can feel.
Happy, energised people deliver better results. I build environments where performance and wellbeing reinforce each other instead of competing.
Evidence-based techniques to build better habits and sharpen cognitive performance across your team. Science, not motivational fluff.
Operational frameworks that outlast any individual. Reduce key-person risk so the business doesn't depend on one hero to function.
Practical AI and tech deployment that streamlines operations and frees up your best people to do their best work. No buzzwords, just results.
I stay across what actually works in growth, tech and performance so you don't have to. The latest thinking, tested and applied to your business.
“Lee doesn't just tell you what to do. He gets in there and does it with you. The impact on our team was immediate and lasting.”Dom Demetriou, CEO · London-based SME (50+ employees)
Lee transformed the way we think about growth. Within six months, our leadership team was operating at a completely different level. He doesn't just advise — he rolls up his sleeves and makes it happen alongside you.
We were stuck at a plateau and couldn't work out why. Lee diagnosed the issue in our first session and had a plan within a week. The clarity he brought was worth every penny.
The culture shift was remarkable. People who were thinking about leaving became our most engaged performers. Lee understands people as well as he understands business.
I've worked with consultants before — they hand you a report and disappear. Lee is the opposite. He was in the business with us every step, and the results speak for themselves.
Lee helped us integrate two acquisitions without losing a single key member of staff. His approach to people and culture during times of change is exceptional.
This is what happens when the right strategy, team and systems click into place.
I spent 20+ years alongside the CEO and founder of London's most successful estate agency business. As a senior leader on the advisory council, I helped take it to £250 million turnover with a value of over £500 million. I've built high-performance teams, managed 3,000+ people, trained dozens of managing directors, and coached hundreds of senior staff. I didn't read about building an autonomous, high-performing business — I did it.

Build the strategy, systems and team structure to get you where you want to be.
Get in the work. Implement alongside your team, not from the sidelines.
