Fractional People & Commercial Director for owner-managed businesses

Get your time back. Grow your sales. Build a team that runs without you.

I've run multi-million pound businesses, managed hundreds of staff across multiple sectors, and worked with everyone from entry-level hires to the C-suite. That operating experience, proven sales tactics and practical AI systems go straight into your business, so it runs on more than your own hours.

More time. More sales. Stronger culture. Real systems.

How the pieces connect

Real experience across sectors, staff and scale, now working directly inside your business.

01
Recruitment

Started in recruitment, learning how businesses actually hire and where it goes wrong.

02
Operating businesses

Moved into running businesses directly, not just advising the people who do.

03
Building Easy Talent

Founded Easy Talent, a high-compliance specialist in education and the public sector, not a generalist agency.

04
Embedded leadership

Took on embedded roles inside other businesses, doing the work rather than writing about it.

05
Products and systems

Now building products and practical AI systems around the same problems, for more businesses at once.

Real businesses, built and run directly

Different problems, different stages. The same operating judgement applied to each.

Recruitment agencies vs sustainable resourcing

If a placed candidate leaves after the guarantee period, you've already paid the fee and get no rebate. What Easy Talent builds with you instead is long term. The team you've built together grows with you, rather than resetting to zero.

The gap isn't the diagnosis. It's who's left to implement it.

A pattern from real work with owner-managed businesses.

Work with me

You already know what's wrong. What's missing is someone who's actually run this before.

You're carrying most of the answers around in your head already. What's missing is the time, and someone senior enough to take real pieces of it off your plate. I've run multi-million pound businesses, managed hundreds of staff across multiple sectors, and worked with people from entry-level hires to the C-suite, including proven sales tactics that build stronger culture and stronger numbers at the same time. That's the operating experience that comes into your business, not another report telling you what you already knew.

01
Diagnose

Understand what's actually happening, not just what the numbers say.

02
Design

Work out what should change, and what it actually takes to change it.

03
Build

Put the system, process or tool in place.

04
Embed

Leave the business able to run it without me.

People & organisation

A management rhythm that actually holds, and a hiring process that puts the right people in the door, so it stops running through you.

Commercial & growth systems

A pipeline you can see, and sales tactics already proven to grow revenue and culture together, not one at the other's expense.

Marketing & workflow

Content and campaign systems built around what the business actually needs, not agency theatre.

AI & productivity systems

Practical AI and systems that hand you back real hours every week, so you spend them on growth instead of admin.

Three things I've actually built.

01

Easy Talent

Run directly. Supplies catering, facilities, cleaning and hospitality staff into education and the public sector.

02

Clarity Intelligence

A live diagnostic product. Fifteen questions produce a real score in about five minutes, every time.

03

Recruitment Intelligence

A working AI tool that reads a CV against a real job description and shows the actual gap.

Why most owner-managed businesses already know what's wrong, and what's actually missing.

Building something difficult?

I take on a maximum of five or six fractional clients at a time, so I can stay properly embedded in each one.
