From Richard,
Are you building the company you know you're capable of?
I'd like to invite you to my home in Marylebone for a Growth Workshop. It's a small group, late afternoon, and there's no fee - just two and a half hours of honest conversation about your business and where it could go next.
Over thirty years, I built HomeServe from a £50,000 start-up into a £4.1 billion sale. It was the hardest, most rewarding work of my life - and if I'm honest, it was also slower than it needed to be. If I knew then what I know now, I believe I could have done it in half the time.
The Workshop is where I share that. The structure I wish I'd had. The mistakes I'd undo. The questions I'd have wanted someone to ask me when I was at your stage.
We won't have slides for the sake of slides. We'll talk about your business, what's actually working, what isn't, and what you'd do differently if you started again on Monday morning.
If that sounds like the conversation you've been waiting to have, I'd be glad to host you.

"Richard doesn't perform. He sits down, asks the right question, and changes how you think about the next twelve months."
"Two and a half hours that did more for my clarity than a year of board meetings. I left with a list I'm still working through."
"The honesty in the room is the thing. No pitching, no posturing - just operators who've done it talking to operators trying to."
