Founder

Hi - I’m Dan,

There are two ways I can help you unlock potential in your manufacturing, engineering or industrial business.

I have a zero-fluff approach, so let’s go:

(01) Fast Value:
An 8-week targeted value creation sprint to identify and execute high-impact opportunities in your core business.

(02) The Simple Strategy:
A strategy development and execution programme that takes you end-to-end.

We’ll avoid the pitfalls of (non)strategic planning by building a growth strategy around:

1. Optimising the core business
2. Growing through logical extensions and adjacent markets
3. Exploring & innovating future products, services and business models

I focus on bridging the gap between strategy and execution, guiding you through the critical decisions required to align the day-to-day activities with the long-term strategic direction.

Send me a DM to discuss if you want to drive growth and innovation in your business.

Business Mentor

Semco Style UK

The Semco Style Institute UK (SSI UK), is on a mission to shape the future of work.

Every leader wants an organisation full of highly engaged, productive and creative teams. Yet engagement, productivity and innovation are at rock bottom. 

We believe the system is broken and needs to be transformed.

In the 1980s, Ricardo Semler transformed his company Semco into a self-managed organisation and gained international recognition for his ground-breaking approach to management.

By democratising his company and flipping the traditional corporate hierarchy on its head, he achieved outstanding business growth with extremely low employee turnover.

He demonstrated that autonomous, self-managed teams succeed because they have a greater sense of responsibility.  


Now SSI UK brings a proven method to guide people on their own path to self-management. It is a method that makes an impact on business results, improves overall performance and delivers happier, more engaged employees.
