If I had a mate that had a business coach and he was a tradie; a lot of my friends are tradies; I’d definitely recommend Hugh, especially if they’d just got that doubt in the back of their head in terms of where they’re going next, what their future options are, if they’ve got no goals in place and they feel like they’re just working day to day.

Hugh’s really good because he gives you that clarity, and he sort of, I suppose, future-proofs your business in a way, because he sets out a lot of things and puts them in place not just for now, but for the future.

Bookings have increased, revenues increased. And I think just the general understanding of our business, myself and Beth, my wife, who runs the business with me, it’s just given us a lot more of an understanding about the business fundamentals. Making the investments to bring Hugh on board to engage him was quite a big decision. It was quite a decent chunk of money, but it gave us the confidence.

I went to Hugh Bowman to improve my business skills and to generate more business and do things a little better, basically to tidy up the loose ends. Hugh’s helped me to put a lot of things on paper and to get a lot of my ideas actually up and running.

I’ve been with Hugh, oh gee, over a year now, maybe a year and a half. We have, as I said, taken a lot of the ideas that I had and we’ve actually put them on paper and worked out a business plan around them and been able to implement them. Most of those quite successfully with a few more still in the pipeline.
