I've attended few workshops with Simon and recently had an opportunity to have 1-2-1 meeting with him to help me with growing my business. I was impressed with his creativity and fresh ideas which were just coming out of his head so easily - all related to my business. In past I've spent lots of money on marketing agencies with zero improvement. Since I've followed Simon's advice and implemented few changes I've noticed more traffic to my page which means more clients. All knowledge was passed to me (and others during workshops) with smile and in a friendly environment. Training is engaging, relaxed and you will also hear some jokes throughout. I hope I will have an opportunity to work with Simon in future.

A number of staff at our firm recently attended Simon's workshops through Hull City Council, myself included, which we found very valuable. We then had a one-to-one with Simon who assessed our business and drew up a plan for us. We were very impressed with Simon and found it very informative and helpful. Thank you Simon, heartily recommended!

An excellent 1 to 1 session with Simon which followed on from the 'How to Make an Impact on Social Media' workshop. Simon gave me some exceptionally useful advice and tips on how to get the most out of the social media platforms that we use. Simon understands how a small business operates and delivers his training in the perfect way and in everyday language! Look forward to attending more of his workshops

Digital Marketing workshop A very informative workshop offering every opportunity to ask questions, interact with others and receive feedback on my own business. Well pitched to those with very little experience of digital marketing but also very relevant to those more experienced. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! During our 121 marketing session, Simon offered so many new ideas that could help benefit our small business that I hadn't thought of. Gaining a greater knowledge of how to best use the tools on offer is invaluable. After our session I felt as though I could come up with a proper marketing plan for our business and one that I could understand and manage myself, something I thought I really had zero idea about! Marketing can be a minefield but after our session I felt inspired and excited about what I can do next to help boost our business presence to the next level. Thank you.
