Are you looking for a growth partner you trust?
Someone who thinks like a co-founder…
but loves the bits that drain you?
You set the direction.
I make sure the business can keep up.
For many founders, growth isn't the problem.
The challenge is that revenue, team capacity, and leadership all need to evolve together.
That's where I come in.
As a trusted growth partner, I help ambitious business owners build companies that grow without breaking what they have spent years building.
The reality for many founders
If you’ve been running your business for a while, it’s usually because things are working.
You do good work.
You’ve built up a solid reputation.
Revenue is moving in the right direction.
And yet...
You're still holding far more than you'd like.
Decisions bounce back to you.
Opportunities stall while you make time for them.
Stepping away feels risky.
The business is growing, but it still feels fragile.
I've been there.
I've built businesses, grown teams, navigated acquisitions, and spent years sitting alongside founders carrying more than they should.
Most don't need to work harder.
They need the business to stop relying on them for everything.
The three things I find myself coming back to with founders
Every founder's situation is different.
But after years of building businesses, sitting alongside founders, and helping teams grow, I've noticed that sustainable growth usually comes down to three things working together.
Revenue
You know your work gets results.
The frustrating bit is that new opportunities can feel a little... random.
You rely heavily on referrals. Marketing happens when there's time. Sales feels inconsistent. And growth feels hard to predict.
This is about building a more reliable path from the value you create to the conversations that become clients.
Together, we clarify who you're best placed to help, sharpen how you communicate that value, and put simple sales and marketing systems in place that generate opportunities more consistently.
Because when revenue feels accidental, everything else feels risky.

Team & Capacity
Growth gets frustrating when every decision, question, or problem eventually finds its way back to you.
Most founders know they need help, but finding the right people feels risky, time-consuming, and expensive. So instead, they keep stepping in, solving problems themselves, and carrying more than they should.
The challenge isn't usually a lack of effort. It's that the business has grown beyond the systems, roles, and ways of working that got it this far.
This is about exploring where things get stuck and creating enough clarity, ownership, and support that good people can do great work without needing you in every conversation.
Because growth without capacity usually leads to burnout.
Delegation . Hiring . Onboarding . Accountability
Founder Role
The business needs you to be thinking ahead, building relationships, spotting opportunities, and shaping where things go next.
Instead, you're stuck approving things, solving problems, and keeping all the plates spinning.
The founder role changes as the business grows.
Most people just never get the chance to redesign it.
Together, we look at where your time is really going, what only you can do, and what the business needs from you at this stage of growth. That often means reshaping responsibilities, building confidence in your team, and creating the space for you to focus on the work that moves the business forward.
Because the business needs your leadership, not your constant availability.
Thought Leadership . Vision . Innovation . Growth
You don't need to work harder. You need the right level of support.
The founders I work with aren't usually looking for another consultant, coach, or framework.
They're looking for someone who can help them make sense of what's happening, see what they're too close to spot themselves, and move things forward without carrying all the weight alone.
Whether you need a short sprint to create clarity, a regular space to think things through, or a partner alongside you building it for real, these are the ways we can work together.
-
The closest thing to a co-founder - without giving away equity.
For founders who know where they're trying to take the business and want a partner alongside them helping make it happen.
I come into your business, thinking with you and rolling up my sleeves beside you. Not just shaping the plan, but helping build the commercial and operational foundations underneath it.
The things that often get talked about but not actually done.
-
A partnership that helps the business grow without everything landing back on you.
For founders who want a trusted second brain alongside them as they navigate growth.
Dedicated time to step out of the weeds, make decisions with confidence, and keep moving the business forward without carrying every challenge alone.
-
The reset that turns constant busyness into intentional progress.
For founders who have a sense that something needs to shift but aren't yet clear what that is.
A focused sprint to step back, make sense of what's happening, and build a practical roadmap for the next stage of growth.
This isn’t about adding to your plate. It’s about stripping it back, choosing what actually moves the needle, and building a 6 - 12 month plan that feels energising and you can trust.No ongoing commitment.
Just clarity, direction, and a visible plan of how your goals become real.

Nicola Telford, Views for Change
“I thought I was just looking for some good business connections.
What I found instead was a vibrant relationship - and, dare I say, a friendship - grounded in collaboration, safety, and real support.
If you’re ready to grow your good business, reach out to Sara - and don’t be surprised if it becomes something far greater than you expected.”

Laurence Johnson, Sussex Sea Farm
“Right from the start, Sara got it - the business, for me, wasn’t just about making a profit.
It was about values, impact, and building something I was proud of.
Those weekly sessions became the space where everything clicked.
Working with Sara was, without question, the best decision I made for me and my business.”

Krista Aspiras, Impactswell
“What surprised me most was how therapeutic the sessions were.
I opened up, spoke honestly, and I realised that overcoming mental blocks is just as essential to building a business as any action plan.
Working with Sara exceeded my expectations.
Building a purpose-led business is hard - and I wholeheartedly recommend working with her if you want someone you can trust in your corner.”

Alex Delaney, Good Grief Gift Co
“Before I met Sara, I was so unfocused and scattered that I kept trying to fix everything, all at once. I didn’t know what to do first, so I just tried to do everything.
Now I have a clear 12-month plan where I actually understand what to prioritise and how to approach the whole setup.
The sense of overwhelm has eased massively - it finally feels manageable.”

Annie Murray, Edit Sweet
“What Sara gives isn’t generic advice - it’s heartfelt, real, practical, and tailored.
She sees you. She believes in you. And she walks with you until you believe in yourself.
If I hadn’t met Sara when I did, I don’t think any of this would’ve happened - or it would’ve taken years longer.
She grabbed my dream with me and helped me make it real!”

Roxy van der Post, Myosotis
“Before working with Sara, I honestly wasn’t even sure if my business model even made sense anymore. I felt stuck, second-guessing everything, and genuinely questioning whether I was heading in the right direction.
By the end of our Sprint, my whole perspective had shifted. I finally felt back on track - clearer, more confident, and actually excited about what’s possible for the business and for me.”

“Working with Sara gave me the structured, supportive environment I’d been missing - a place to tap into her experience, stay accountable, and learn from the real-world lessons from her own founder journey.”
From Where I’m Sitting
Most weeks, I find myself in a handful of interesting conversations with founders who are in that messy stage of growing their businesses - things are working, but not as easily as they would like.
The challenges I hear, the solutions we talk through - so much of it comes up over and over again.
So I started sharing a few of those moments, in case there’s something useful in there for others on the journey.
You already know where you're taking the business.
If you're looking for someone to help turn that vision into something the business can actually keep up with, let's talk.
