Helping Food Businesses get retail ready.

Success in entrepreneurship starts with you!

You are absolutely the key difference between succeeding and not. However, the right support behind you makes all the difference.

I am here to build your business plan and craft compelling pitches for your stakeholders that show why your product fits the market and how it can thrive.

I like transparency, so I’m clear about the cost of an initial piece which is detailed in ‘Explore’ below.

When we’ve completed that, I will then advise on your next steps (in line with ‘Transform’ below) with clear, itemised costings that are very reasonable. You can then of course say no, pick some pieces you would like me to do, or take the whole recommendation. No pressure.
