We're all about results

We’ve started businesses, invested in others, worked with many more.

What we’ve learned is to be willing to learn, to adapt, to be courageous in some situations, patient in others.

We reject the arrogance of consultants who tell you they know everything, yet always blame you for any failures.

We’re not interested in providing fancy strategies .

Because we know the devil is in the detail, and in implementation that results in enduring, rewarding success.

We respect your knowledge, your experience, your commitment, your investment, your courage.

And we never forget it's your project, your business, your career, your livelihood.

Our experience of getting it right (and sometimes wrong!) includes:

Founding and managing Britain's leading independent walking journey tour operator, Inntravel

Founding and marketing India's highly respected guided, community-involved walking journey tour operator, Village Ways

Founding and managing a group of independently successful tour operators that was sold for tens of millions £s.

Developing and promoting the principles and practices for Responsible Tourism while Chairman of Britain’s Association Of Independent Tour Operators

Winning major national and international tourism achievement and innovation awards

Providing tourism business development and marketing consultancy in a wide range of countries including Spain, Austria and Scotland in Europe; Morocco, Ethiopia and Kenya in Africa; Georgia, India and Israel in Asia.

And for many major tourism organisations and companies including 5 hotel groups, 5 airlines, 2 national railways, 3 travel exhibitions including World Travel Market, and over 20 tour operators.

Our experience in business development and marketing consultancy outside travel and tourism includes Barclays, Ford, Honda, Microsoft, Omega and Virgin as well as many smaller owner-managed businesses.

What we know is that to achieve the big results, you have to start small, at the grass roots.

So, in the end, what we're about is helping make sure you get those right results.
