I started my own business in 1995 and grew it organically to employ over 30 staff in 3 locations. During that time I managed to balance work with a plan for retirement before successfully selling my business to a competitor.
In the last few years of my business I studied to learn more about the technical parts of business which included financial planning, leadership and the management and empowerment of teams.

Paul has helped me greatly in several areas of my business, and the result has been to make my staff more responsible for their areas which gives me more time to focus on the bigger picture.
I would highly recommend Paul's services if you want to make your time more effective and increase your bottom line.

Making the jump from freelancing to running my own agency in 2022 was both exciting and, if I’m honest, pretty overwhelming.
I quickly realised there were so many aspects of running a business that I hadn’t even considered, and I knew I needed some guidance. That’s when I reached out to Paul at Consult MCG, and I’m so glad I did.
From day one, Paul was easy to talk to and really down-to-earth. He didn’t just look at my business on the surface—he took the time to understand it inside out. He gave my business a thorough MOT, pointing out the things I was doing well (which felt great to hear) and, more importantly, showing me where I needed to improve. His feedback was spot-on and really opened my eyes to areas I hadn’t paid enough attention to.
What I appreciate most about Paul is how invested he is in seeing you succeed. He’s not just there to give advice—he’s there to support you through it all. Thanks to his help, I’ve gone from being a solo freelancer to running a full digital agency with a small, fantastic team. I honestly couldn’t have done it without him.
If you’re feeling lost or just need a fresh perspective on your business, I can’t recommend Paul enough. He’s been a real game changer for me, and I’m incredibly grateful to have him on my side.

What do you love most about your job?
I get my biggest buzz from other peoples success. Being a listening ear to allow business owners to explore their ideas, assist in evaluating them and finally implementing them gives such a sense of achievement.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My parents inspired me to work for myself . I learnt pretty quickly that I was very good at doing my job, but quite bad at running or working "on" my business. After quite a lot of management training, I learnt so much from the mistakes I made in my own business and now enjoy mentoring other businesses through a mixture of experience, technical knowledge and understanding good practice
Why should our clients choose you?
