“Holding varying roles in SME's since the age of 16 I can testify that the business acumen, ability to spot new sales links, leading/directing all operational aspects and negotiating a SME through good times and bad whilst still achieving growth makes Mel's foresight & knowledge extremely invaluable to any SME. I am extremely confident she will guide any company to growth, I have seen this first hand working in her management team for over 3 years.”

“I worked with Mel for a couple of years before and during the sale of her business. Mel is the ultimate professional and always approached every challenge with a ‘can-do’ attitude. She is very commercially focused, financially savvy and understands the importance of taking the team with her on the journey. Her business was built on strong leadership and excellent industry knowledge. She has also built a great network and one in which she is highly thought of. I like working with people who know their stuff but are also open to other ideas/opinions. Mel is one of those people!”
Nicola Horton, Principal at The CFO Centre
“I have known Mel for a number of years whilst she was MD of her former company. I recently brought her into our business to bring an objective perspective to the leadership team. She has a great knack of tackling the “elephant in the room”, but in a manner which engaged everyone rather than creating concern. We were able to resolve our specific business challenge leading to great results.”
Managing Director – Training business, Derbyshire
“Mel supported our business, and me in particular, at a tricky time as we transitioned the leadership from me being the owner-manager to a new MD. Her guidance and support were invaluable and the business settled quickly, with my new MD at the helm.”
