Andy is a fantastic business coach. With Andy’s help I have more than doubled my turnover, tripled my profits, reduced my working hours and significantly improved my skills and effectiveness as a business owner. He is really good at cutting through the flannel, getting to the point of a particular problem or issue and then is able to help me find a strategy or process to solve it. He genuinely wants to help me grow my business which means that if I'm missing the point or not doing what I said I would then he holds me to account.

In 18 months turnover has increased by 25% and profits have doubled.
Since we started working with Andy at Action Coach we have seen a huge improvement in our business results. In 18 months turnover has increased by 25% and profits have doubled. We had a good business but lacked direction and organisation. Working with Andy has helped us to address these issues and take the steps required to move our business on to the next level. Andy gives honest and impartial views on our business. He helps with planning and decision making and then holds us accountable to implementing these plans whilst teaching us any new skills required. The investment we have made in business coaching has been an excellent decision and well worth it.

I would never have thought we needed a Business Coach or even wanted one.
Focus Ecology have been working with Andy since September 2014, prior to this I would never have thought we needed a Business Coach or even wanted one. However, following the attendance of a short business seminar he was a speaker at, my business partner and I signed him up. That was probably one of the best business decisions we have ever made. In that time, Andy has helped us increase our annual turnover by almost 50%, increase the efficiency, capability and profitability of the company and most importantly significantly reduce my working hours. Prior to meeting Andy, I couldn't really call myself a business owner in the real sense of the word, I just owned a job! I feel Andy genuinely wants to improve my business and help it grow to its full potential. He ensures, my business partner and I are held accountable for our decisions and actions, and that we don’t get distracted from our goals and targets for the company.

In under 2 years, I have gained control of, and grown my business, bought another business and am in the final stages of purchasing a second business.
When I first met Andy, I was the owner of a small business, working lots of hours, and in a permanent state of chaos constantly worrying about work. I had seriously considered getting out of the business and going to work for someone else. In under 2 years, I have gained control of, and grown my business, bought another business and am in the final stages of purchasing a second business. We are planning to buy several more over the next few years. My colleagues and wife tell me that I have changed for the better, and I now spend quality, worry free time with my family. I spent years thinking that there must be an easier way of running a business as other people seem to do it and at long last I have found it, all thanks to Andy’s guidance and support.

...at the start of our engagement I was dubious, I didn't know why I would need a coach or that it would help.
I'm sure Andy won't mind me saying that personally at the start of our engagement I was dubious, I didn't know why I would need a coach or that it would help. What I can say with confidence is that it has helped massively and Andy's knowledge and experience of business growth and success gives me confidence. With a bit of guidance I have created a clear path as to where to develop the company, to develop an engaged team and how to reach the financial targets I have set. Furthermore it has enabled me to virtually double turnover and increase profit, increase capacity and deliver projects far more efficient.
