All of our business training and coaching services are provided through our Associated Company 'We Are Business Transformers Ltd'.
When my childhood dream of becoming a footballer was cruelly taken away from me due to lack of ability, I decided to go down the accountancy route instead.
A few years after qualifying, I went travelling round Europe, and had the time of my life. Unfortunately, I had to return to real life. I moved 200 miles and six months later in 1996 started my own accountancy practice in Glasgow.
For many years I was a typical accountant, providing a good service, but there was something missing. I wanted to make a difference to my clients, which has morphed into my vision of all clients really understanding their business numbers and financial accounts.
After nearly 18 years of being self-employed I wrote my first book, "Your 60 minute business transformation" a 5* Amazon reviewed book. It wasn’t long after this that Susanne and I created ‘We are Business Transformers’ to help small businesses not make the mistakes we made in the early days.
On a personal note, Susanne and I have a delightful daughter who helps keep us young!
I love watching football, getting out to the hills or by the sea, catching up with friends and family, going away for the weekends in our VW Camper Van and going on holidays.
I have been a Project and Programme Manager for many years in a large organisation and the most important thing I learned was how important it is to focus and prioritise. When there is a lot to do it’s very easy to be overwhelmed and end up achieving very little! My energy has always been directed on bite size chunks, practical steady progress, and helping others to do the same. Simple to say but tough to do!
I was a network marketer for several years and learned the hard way how important it is to know your market and be resilient.
It was only in 2010 that I worked out the job I really wanted to do and started my journey to become an accredited coach and trained facilitator. Then I hit the challenge of how to price my services and that set me off on another journey that eventually led to becoming a Price Consulting Specialist, one of only 2 in Scotland and 12 in the whole of the UK.
I absolutely love working with people to help them move their business forward. My skill set and style means that I will always help you to work on the most important thing for you and your business.
I started working for Martin Robertson Associates Ltd in November 2008.
I am the first point of contact for clients and for client payroll, plus I keep the office running smoothly for everyone.
Having spent all of my working life commuting to Edinburgh, I decided to make the change and work locally to be closer to my family.
Our weekends are usually spent together, visiting new places, or spending time with relatives and friends.
I am passionate about nature and wildlife, spending as much time as possible outdoors. I also love cooking and baking to relax and enjoy!
