Who this is for
We work with established Irish businesses turning over roughly €1m to €10m, profitable or close to it, across different sectors. Some owners are focused on growth, others are considering a sale in the next one to five years, and many are still weighing their options.
The advice and executive sessions are designed for owners with an established trading business, staff and customers. Pre-revenue ventures and businesses seeking their first customers need a different kind of support.

In their words
Recommendations written on LinkedIn by people Tommy has worked for and with.
Brave enough to say what nobody else in the room is willing to say.
Tommy is an indispensable business advisor. He brings a refreshing no-nonsense approach and is brave enough to say what nobody else in the room is willing to say, but could be the most important thing that needs to be said. He can instantly move from a broad, macro approach on sales and marketing strategy, to giving excellent guidance on the nitty gritty and spotting a small, but critical detail on a financial report. Before working with Tommy a friend said to me, if you don't have Tommy advising your business, you're losing out. He is highly insightful and has an ability to quickly get to the crux of the issue. Very highly recommended. The proof is in the pudding and Tommy was instrumental in helping to more than double the level of business.

A real knack for seeing to the heart of an issue.
Tommy has a real knack for seeing to the heart of an issue and for helping the teams he works with arrive at solutions they may never have otherwise considered. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and if you get the chance to do so, you should jump at it!
