Testimonials from attendees...
I just wanted to thank Ian & Bright Business Advice for what they have done for us in such a short space of time. Before we met, I felt like I was failing in running my company correctly. I’d been going for 6 years and had not even enjoyed a family holiday in that time. Since working with Ian and the Bright community, we have moved into a new office and now get the time back to enjoy our holidays and my team are all reinvigorated by the changes. The time and lifestyle choices it has given me have been amazing.
Chris Brass - Ignite Facilities
Ian started coaching me when I was at an all-time low in my personal and professional life. Using his experience, advice, and the bright business 7 sector model I have been able to completely transform my business. We have tripled in size, our revenue is at an all-time high and we have the systems in place to absorb the growth. My team are engaged with our goals and we have an entirely new energy and revenue base in the business.
Adam Lloyd - Lumen Electrical
We were running ragged before we started work with Ian and Bright Business Advice. What struck home to us was the need to send our team out and do a great job every time. We have implemented new systems, grown our revenue by over 30%, and can now see light at the end of the tunnel.

Since I started working with Ian & Bright Business Advice we set a goal for turnover, margins, team members, vans, and the type of client base we want to work with. We hit the turnover target we set, the size of the business has doubled and the motivation it has given me to keep going through Ian and the bright community I couldn't get anywhere else.
