My business approach is like a business overhaul or company facelift, bringing clarity to boardrooms, boosting leadership muscle, streamlining operations, exposing vulnerabilities, and revitalising weary management.
With over four decades of multi-sector business experience, I'm a composed and battle-hardened pro, dispensing unwavering confidence and savvy guidance to directors and entrepreneurs alike.

Peter from Directors school has very much helped me expand my business by helping me work on my business rather within it, he offer a lot of support and holds me accountable to taking the actions required for success. Peters knowledge and experience helps progress many areas from sales, operations and financial. I would very much recommend peter for any director wanting to improve / expand their business. More...

In my capacity as Managing Director, I have worked with Peter for the last four years. Throughout that time he has been thoughtful, challenging, supportive and resolutely positive. His work has enabled me to consistently make the right choice, even when this was the more difficult option . I cannot recommend Peter highly enough. More...

Working with Peter Buglass in Directorschool was an eye-opening incredible experience. I learned a whole load of things I didn't know about being a director - compliance and responsibilities plus some great ideas to make my business better. Peter was excellent - friendly, hugely knowledgeable and fun to work with. I can't recommend Directorschool highly enough. More...

Thank you Peter - I'm blushing.
What do you love most about your job?
Helping people to achieve their goals, either personal or in business. Creating the confidence for people to go forward and try new things and challenge themselves.
Helping businesses achieve their potential, growing profitably and becoming sustainable.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After a successful corporate career I had the opportunity to turn around a failing business and following that success decided to try for myself. I have been continuing to do so for 22 years with varying degrees of success!
Why should our clients choose you?
Integrity. It is what I look for in others so I would expect others to seek it in me. My work is not about preparing you for something, but preparing you for anything. If you are looking for a coach you've already made the first step to improving your skills, so now make time to work on yourself and it will pay dividends for you and your company.
I believe you should only speak with authority if you have the knowledge and skill to back it up. You need to listen well, understand other perspectives, then speak with consideration. We should treat everyone with respect and nurture individual ability.
I have experience and qualifications from a lifetime of business yet I retain the curiosity and humility to know that I don't know everything.

Start-Up Support
From idea to getting going - I have coached and mentored 100s of start up businesses and had a few myself. I support under graduates, post graduates and MBA students for several universities to start business in 12 weeks as part of their courses.
I have had one start up on Dragon's Den (successful) and several gone on to trade well.
I've helped many businesses grow from humble beginnings and I can help you too.
