Testimonials

I utilised the services of Carl as a mentor for my business I found his advice extremely useful. It allowed me to look objectively at the business which has allowed us to grow and create more jobs. At the same time he challenged me about the less profitable parts of the business and concentrate on the more profitable areas. I looked forward to my regular meetings with Carl as I always came away feeling energised and with new ideas to put into action. He had a wealth of experience to offer around people marketing and innovative IT solutions. we are ina much better place now than we were before his mentoring.

Carl has provided virtual mentoring to me for 6 months now. Carl is definitely the go to man! Full of knowledge and experience and extremely easy to communicate with. Being mentored by Carl has built my confidence in myself and my capabilities hugely. I definitely recommend Carl, but not too much because I still want him to have time for me ; ) Seriously though Carl is the best mentor that I have found to date.
