About Brian Doubleday
"You have changed my business life (and therefore life) in so many ways, you have no idea. Working with you for only a short period of time has made me realise that unless I develop a clear vision of what I want my business to be, I will not be able to achieve it. How can you get somewhere if you don’t know where you are going?!
Through your coaching I feel I am using my brain again. I have been able to step back from the day to day work (or “stuff” as you so rightly call it!!) to take a good look at the business and at myself and start putting systems in place so that I can concentrate working ON the business rather than IN the business. I have had to look at aspects of the business I never even thought of considering, let alone change.
I am now focusing on the pivotal accepts of the business which, I realise now, are so important and that I neglected for so long. I now know that I can develop my business into a much better run, more efficient and more people-friendly business. Even in the short period of time we have worked together you have made a huge impact on the business and on me and not a day goes by where I don’t apply your teaching.
I have become one of your “raving fans” in no time at all and I can only recommend anyone who is in business (no matter how long) or thinking of starting one to make the most important phone call of their business life and to ring you – right now!" Isabelle Saulet, Creative Quilting

"Brian is a highly professional and motivational business coach. He has demonstrated to me the value of the service that he provides to those who desire to make a success of their business.

Jackie Gardner, Good Foundations
"Brian brings an outside perspective that not only allows you to be more objective, but also draws on his own personal business experience to help identify potential problems and opportunities that you wouldn't have seen. Brian works very well at adapting and applying proven methodologies to unique business situations and brings a level of business acumen that is hard to find in the business coach / consultant arena. Highly recommended".
Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity
Peter Richman, Plug and Play
"Brian has that rare ability to put his finger on a troubling issue or sticking point from the simplest information, then diagnose and suggest a number of courses of action - all essential in a business coach. On top of that, he's a very personable guy and I recommend him without hesitation".
Bruce Hazelton, Member, BNI Guildford
“Brian is a straight-talker, canny strategist and a fully-paid up human being. I would certainly recommend him as adding value to your company with his business experience with ICI and excellent people skills".
Paul Nathanson, Director, PNPR Ltd
Further quotes from our UK clients:
"From starting my business I knew what I wanted to do, and where I wanted to take it, but after a couple of years I realised that I simply didn't have the generic business skills to deliver my vision. Brian has helped me enormously, coaching me and therefore the growth of my business. The advice and input that Brian has brought to my business has been invaluable, and it feels very much like the business is closer to a finished product than simply an entity that I have to fire fight every day! I would strongly recommend any business to take Brian on as a business coach. His experience, outside perspective and solid business acumen is both thought provoking and valuable". Peter Richman, Plug and Play.
"I have seen an outstanding transformation in my business and personal aspirations. In a short space of time, I really got focused again on all the things I need to do to achieve my goals. The results started instantly once I followed and focused on the ‘5 ways’ strategies. The power of writing down the goals in the GrowthCLUB has enabled the journey of how to get to the goal much clearer, and definitely achievable”.
"I was running my business by instinct, had no formal training or education in business and desperately needed help if I was going to develop it further. Coaching renewed my enthusiasm, my motivation and most of all showed me how to go forward - and applied enough pressure to make sure I carried out the strategies.
"I learnt how to market, how to network, how to recruit, build a great team, set my USP, vision, mission and culture and so much useful information and advice. It was worth every penny that I spent and best of all my growth is up 15% and profit up 33% after the first 12 months of coaching. I am now looking forward to continued growth, expansion, development of new ideas and enjoying the challenges of business."
