Creative Business advice

When you’re close to your business, it can be difficult to see which ideas are worth pursuing, what’s missing or where time and money will be best spent... and sometimes even ideas themselves can be elusive. A chat with me gives you space to talk through your business with someone who understands both the creative and practical sides of tourism and hospitality operations, so we might look at:

Adding new immersive experiences and additional sources of income

Making better use of your venue, land or existing facilities

Creating new reasons for people to visit outside your busy times / season

Testing an idea before committing significant time or money to it

Making your guest experiences more distinctive and attractive

An experience audit

Seasonal programme development

Finding suitable activity providers or collaborators

These are shaped around the place in question and can include a site visit, research, programme planning and support to bring the ideas into practice.

I’ve worked with hospitality and tourism businesses for many years helping owners develop stronger diversification ideas, make better commercial decisions and create bespoke experiences that feel distinctive and right for their setting. So, I won’t give you an off-the-shelf formula or tell you that every idea is brilliant, but I’ll help you look honestly at what suits your business, your customers and resources to create clearer priorities, practical ideas and a better sense of where to focus next.

If you’d like to discuss your business, venue or an idea you’re considering, get in touch and tell me a little about what you’re working on.

1. Discovery Call

This initial discussion is an informal way for us to find out if I can help you before we move onto paid-for time and advice. It doesn't involve advice or guidance, however if I don't believe I can help I will at least try and point you in the right direction. Either way, there's no obligation in or beyond this chat.

£ free of charge

2. Advisory Session

If you know me already or know what you need to talk about you might want to cut straight to booking a video meeting to talk through your ideas. I'm often told these are immensely inspiring and motivating, and get people thinking on a totally different level about their work or business.

Includes:

Review of information in advance + written follow up summary (up to 30 minutes).

Video meeting (up to 75 minutes).

£145

3. Site Visit 

Sometimes the best way to get ideas flowing is to visit a place or the landscape, where we can get fully immersed in exploring all the creative possibilities.

Includes:

Review of information in advance + written follow up summary

Visit to business location 

Email support for 5 working days following the visit

Fee: from £475 + travel expenses 

4. Ongoing Support

For me to get fully involved in an idea or project, a tailored support package means I can work right alongside you. Ongoing support like this is usually bespoke and lasts a few months, with preferential rates and priority calendar booking.

Do get in touch if you have any questions, I'm more than happy to talk it through
