Funded Support: You want to grow, but are afraid of what that means…

“… Small and medium sized businesses have the chance to become the household names of tomorrow…” The Right Honourable Vince Cable MP.

Affordable Coaching and Support

You suspect you need some support, ideas or structure, but are worried about meeting the cost and, frankly, whether it will be worth it.

Well, did you know that there is Government support aimed at small and medium sized businesses like yours?

The Growth Accelerator programme and European Regional Development Fund enable you to access high quality, low-cost coaching and mentoring support.

And, as an accredited and approved High Growth Coach for these schemes, AUTUS Director Daniel Thomas can help you both access this funding and more importantly grow your business.

  3. Do you employ fewer than 250 people?
  4. Is your turnover less than £40m?

Get in touch with Daniel to find out more about funded support to grow your business.

  • “Dan has an usual blend of qualities - a clear incisive mind, good aesthetic judgment and the ability to know when something isn't working and when it's time to stop, make a decision and change direction. People often value 'drive' too highly; knowing when to come off the gas is a depressingly rare trait in my experience. In addition he is both good humoured and a pleasure to work with. I recommend him very highly."John Matchett, Owner, SJM Photographic, Bristol
  • Diane is one of the best commercial managers I have worked with - always on the ball, aligned to customer needs and wants and therefore very effective in finding mutually beneficial solutions. Her wide ranging cross functional experience and insight means that all angles are covered.Michaela Jarvis, Category Marketing Controller, UNIQ plc, Swindon.
  • We hired Daniel as a consultant to our business, to provide additional senior management expertise. He has provided excellent assistance in the areas of strategy, global account management, administrative processes, and structure. He continues in that role with our Company.Ross Kennedy, CEO, QHi-Group Ltd, Harpenden.
  •   “...he is pro-active in his approach and communicates well with suppliers, colleagues and clients. He is always keen to understand the requirement and looks to consider other solutions that may provide better performance or are more economic. He is a pleasure to work and I would recommend him to others.”Robert Thorogood, , Chief Technical Officer, hurleypalmerflatt, London.
  • Being a SME, we had been burnt in the past with consultants charging high fees for little results.  After meeting Dan through the GrowthAccelerator programme our faith was quickly restored that there are actually professionals out there that can help push your business forward.  Working with Dan has been a breath of fresh air, my business partner and I are now extremely focused and moving our business forward in the direction we want it to go.Felicity Griffiths, Director, , CHB Global Limited
