Consulting

BHP wants SMEs to achieve their aspirations. That's why we're focused on helping you to unlock your business potential.

All of our team have led and scaled companies successfully themselves. They understand first-hand the challenges and opportunities of running a business, and can give you access to quality solutions and expertise to help you navigate change, and drive your company's growth.

How it all works

We connect you with successful business leaders who can work with you on a project basis to tackle specific business issues, or provide longer-term advisory support and mentoring in areas such as strategic and growth planning, implementation, and scaling systems and operations. Using their knowledge and experience, they work with you to develop your skills and confidence, help you plan for the future, and ensure you have the right ingredients in place to deliver your plans.

No two businesses are the same, and we offer tailored, practical support, informed by real-world experience. Whether you’re wrestling with how to grow sales and expand into new markets, boost Leadership and Board development, improve operational effectiveness, get investment or exit ready, or solve succession challenges, our team can help.

We also have experts who can help you leverage technology to deliver your growth plans and increase productivity. Plus ESG leaders that can support the development of your Environmental, Social and Governance strategy, to enable you to attract and retain great employees and customers, and further build company value.

We are happy to have a no-obligation exploratory meeting to listen, map out where your business is now and where you want it to be, identify any specific challenges, and discuss what support we can offer. Or discuss how we can help you develop your strategy, focusing on a few key elements, including;

Where are we now?

What is our customer proposition?
Do we meet our customers’ needs?
Is our sales strategy effective?

Where do we want to be?

Define the key business targets for your growth and succession, too
Develop products or services that meet the needs of our customers
Ensuring we have an effective sales process that focuses on customer retention, customer acquisition and maintaining business profitability

How do we get there?

Understanding the gap between where we are now and where we want to be
Building a step plan to bridge the gap. This may include new products, services, routes to markets, additional training, and new employees/team members

Information and Technology Consulting

Our Information & Technology Consultancy is essentially an experienced IT executive who works on a flexible basis with businesses, providing strategic technology leadership without the cost of hiring a full-time Director.

This approach is especially valuable for small and medium-sized enterprises that may not have the resources or consistent need for a dedicated, full-time IT Director. The consultant will work with you to define a technology strategy through a short-term engagement and, if required, provide fractional support in its delivery.

Business Mentoring

Many business owners and leaders struggle to step over the gap between intentions and results. Successful people overcome this because they appreciate the power of sharing, the clarity of thought that comes through working with others who can share experiences, and working with people whose knowledge can benefit them.

Working on a regular basis with a business mentor can start to bridge that important gap between what we want to do with our business and what we actually do with our business.
