Tewkesbury Business Coaching

As Principal of Gloucestershire college, I have worked closely with Will over a number of years, including the past four during which he has served as Chair of Governors.

He brings a rare combination of strategic clarity, financial acumen and calm authority to the boardroom. He has the ability to align strong personalities behind a common direction, challenge constructively and respectfully, and keep discussions focused on the issues that genuinely matter.

What distinguishes him is his commitment to the role. He invests time in understanding the organisation in depth, builds strong and trusting relationships, and contributes from experience rather than theory. His advice is practical, commercially grounded and consistently framed with long-term sustainability and growth in mind.

For leadership teams navigating growth, succession or preparing for exit, he provides strategic oversight and depth while remaining absolutely clear about the distinct roles of the Board and the executive team — a discipline that strengthens governance and enables leaders to perform at their best.

Will is an excellent sounding board, bringing a calm, thoughtful approach and a deep understanding of how businesses really operate. His ability to ask the right strategic questions has helped me take ideas from early concepts through to practical, workable plans. He has often introduced new ideas, techniques, and relevant reading that have broadened my thinking and added real value. I would highly recommend Will to anyone looking for clear, constructive guidance and genuinely useful insight.

Will has played a pivotal role in growing our business and the advice has been invaluable. Having someone who is not emotionally invested in my business, with a strong business, finance and coaching background, has allowed me to confidently explore new ideas. Working with Will has been one of the best decisions I have made and I look forward to continuing this relationship in the years ahead.

Coming from a long established, family business I found the EPIC Business Leaders Group really refreshing. I benefited greatly from both the interaction with other business leaders, finding I was not alone in many of my challenges, as well as from the presentations and sessions on strategic thinking, planning and goal setting. It was really great to learn techniques which were quick to apply in the workplace. My confidence in leading at work and improved strategic thinking have led to a number of changes for the better.
