Business Support Package

If you don't have marketing or HR managers on the payroll.

We can take care of your business support tasks and projects which have been on your to do list forever...

You'll get better results without hiring more employees ...

We can help with your:

  • Marketing
  • HR & Training

Especially for busy specialists within the construction sector.

When you ventured into business I bet you expected it to be hard work but that "one day" it will all be worth it.  

A few years in, how do you feel?  Overwhelmed and overworked by the business that was meant to be your route to freedom? 

Thing is - doing your technical work can be a breeze.  

But it's key areas such as marketing and HR that, when in place and working will increase your enjoyment at work, improve your results, give you more freedom to do what you want in life.  

I'm Irene Conlin, former Head of Business Support for an extremely successful business within the construction sector. Profitably grown from £5m to £85m in 9 years.  

In 2008 I went into business myself, starting to help the people who own and manage smaller specialist companies.  

I noticed quickly that you are great with your technical expertise, but most people in your position just can't find the time to look for proper business support you can trust to get on with things, and do them well.

Where Business Support Like Ours Adds Value

We often hear comments like:

  • Business is doing okay but it could be better.
  • I'm working longer and harder than ever before. 
  • Marketing!  We don't do anything consistently and that shows. 
  • I dread the day my best people hand in their notice to go work for our No. 1 competitor.
  • It's hard to recruit reliable, quality people. 
  • Checking in with work in my free time and on holidays is a common occurrence. 
  • My important personal relationships are suffering because of my work. 

How many points sound familiar to you?

Imagine for one minute being stuck

in the same situation for 1, 5, 10 or more years ...

Often its easier and more profitable to buy in professional support.

Like Fred did.

Fred Hood   McNally & Thompson Specialist Electrical Contractors

Paul Marshall - Managing Director - Desco (Design and Consultancy) Ltd              

Irene and her team have been providing the business with strategic advice and in particular support with HR, which has included a full overhaul of our T&C's and employment policies.

She has provided an excellent and cost effective service that has given us access to a highly competent professional.

I would have no hesitation in recommending her to others and will look forward to working with her again in the future

Ken Cuthbert - Managing Director              

Our employment contracts were reviewed and some improvements suggested.

One we implemented saved us over £10K when it came to a slowdown in work. Pleased we made the change.

Rob Johnson - Owner and MD - Storm Tempest Property Consultancy             

We recently engaged Irene to review and assist us in providing a fresh outlook to the way we conduct business with our clients.  In a very short time, the entire team are focused in the same direction.

Jeff Hall - Contracts Director             

Our recruitment costs were slashed.  

Within a few minutes of bouncing around ideas, we were given a process that means we no longer pay to advertise when we need to recruit most positions, saving us thousands! 

Jackie Winship - Manager  - McNally & Thompson Electrical Contractors            

When I first joined the company, there was work to do with some long serving members of staff that did not match up with what the business needed in the future.

With help and guidance I was able to work through replacing people with new team members and I now have the skills to recruit, manage and develop my team. 

The support and resources available is brilliant for me in my role.

Martin Kay - MD - Bespoke Concrete Products             

Irene exceeded all my original targets and goals for implementation of our HR strategy, apprenticeship scheme and training review.
