SERVICES & FEES
Leadership workshops, coaching, speaking and stage interviewing. Delivered in person or online, for business leaders with 50 to 500 staff.
All fees are fixed and agreed in advance. No timesheets, no hourly billing, no surprises. All fees are exclusive of VAT at the standard rate.
40 years. Six businesses. 300+ leaders.
I have led six businesses and spent 20 years facilitating peer group meetings for MDs and CEOs. I have sat on more than 20 boards. My BSc (Eng) First class honours from Imperial College and my MBA from Cranfield gave me a foundation of business understanding. Running real businesses and working with hundreds more gave the practical leadership insights.
I work with leaders of businesses in the 50 to 500 staff range – businesses that have moved beyond start-up and are working out how to grow without losing control. I call these adolescent businesses. The founder can no longer do or drive everything, instead they need to engage and enthuse an empowered team with structure, vision and leadership, and make decisions that fit within a coherent strategy building upon their successful tactics and replacing instinct.
My approach is direct, practical, and grounded in what I have seen work. I am not a theorist. I am a business leader who now spends his time helping other business leaders.
“I’m not here to tell you how to run your business. I’m here to help you work out what you want to do.”How I Work
Fixed fees. Agreed in advance.
Every engagement is priced as a fixed fee, agreed before any work starts. No timesheets. No hourly billing. No surprises. You know the cost before you commit.
Leadership Coaching – Monthly Subscription
A rolling monthly engagement for MDs, CEOs, and owners. Not a programme with modules. A relationship focused on your real decisions and challenges.
Sessions run across ten months of the year, with a gap in the summer and at Christmas. Each month includes a structured session plus availability between sessions. If you face a crisis decision, message or call me. Brief exchanges of 5 to 10 minutes are good service, included in the fee. If it extends into something more, we agree an arrangement at the time. (See What You Can Expect below.)
Minimum three-month commitment. After that, cancel immediately if the relationship stops delivering value. I will never hold you to an arrangement that is not working.
| Format | Sessions | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Online coaching | 10 × 60-minute sessions per year online. No expenses. | £450/month |
| In-person or online coaching | 10 × 90-minute sessions per year. In person or online. | £750/month |
| Blended coaching | 8 online (60 min) + 2 face-to-face (90 min) per year. | £600/month |
| Senior team programme (2–4 leaders) | Individual monthly session per leader (format as agreed) plus quarterly review. | £600/leader/month |
All fees exclude VAT at the standard rate. Fees collected monthly by direct debit. Quarterly or annual invoicing in advance is also available for an additional administration fee of £50 per invoice.
Workshops and Facilitation
Half-day, full-day, or two-day sessions for management teams of 10 to 25 people. Three formats, priced by the preparation required.
Pure facilitation
Your agenda. I run the room. You need a skilled neutral facilitator, not a consultant with a point of view. Preparation is minimal.
Standard workshop
I bring ready-developed content on a topic relevant to your team. Adapted to your context in a short briefing call. Preparation is light.
Bespoke workshop
Content developed specifically for your team and your challenges. Requires a proper briefing process and meaningful preparation time.
| Format | What it involves | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Facilitated workshop – half day | Your agenda. I run the room. | £1,800 |
| Facilitated awayday – full day | Your agenda. I run the room. | £2,800 |
| Bespoke workshop – half day | Content built for your team. | £2,800 |

Speaking
Standard topics are ready to deliver. Bespoke talks require meaningful preparation.
All talks are presented from the perspective of an operational business leader. Practical, honest, and specific.
| Format | What it involves | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Standard talk (30–45 min) | Existing topic, adapted to your audience. | £1,800 |

All fees exclude VAT at the standard rate. Expenses are set out in the Expenses section. 50% is due immediately on confirmation of booking; the balance is due on the day of delivery.
Stage Interviewing
I interview business leaders on stage at your conference or event. My preparation involves a conversation with each subject in advance – understanding their story, what they have learned, and what your audience most needs to hear.
No script. No pre-agreed questions sent in advance. I am more Parkinson than Paxman: genuinely curious questions that draw out practical insight constructively.
All approaches include pre-event preparation conversations with organiser, fellow hosts and interviewees.
| Format | What it involves | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Single interview (up to 40 min) | One interviewee. | £1,500 |
| Panel interview (up to 60 min) | Two to three subjects. | £1,800 |
| Full event hosting (half day) | Host, link, introduce, and interview as required within your programme. | £2,800 |
| Full event hosting (full day) | Host, link, introduce, and interview as required within your programme. | £4,500 |

My commitments to you
I only work with business leaders. You have high expectations – rightly so. Here is what I commit to in every engagement.
Retained subscription clients are encouraged to call or email whenever facing a crisis decision. I may not always be immediately available but I will respond quickly when I know the need is urgent. Brief exchanges of 5 to 10 minutes are part of the service and included in the fee. Terms for more extended activity can be agreed at the time.
If you are ever less than 100% satisfied, I will endeavour to put it right. If we cannot agree a resolution, I will waive the final fee. I would rather part company as positive professional contacts than hold you to an arrangement that is not delivering.
I am confident in the value I deliver but if at any time you feel the relationship is not working, you can terminate immediately. I believe you should only continue if you feel you are genuinely getting real value.
My responsibility is sharing experience and ideas to provoke thought and motivate action – the ultimate decisions and their outcomes remain yours and your responsibility.
All discussions are treated as confidential. I will only disclose matters externally when appropriate to progress matters on your behalf.
