Nick Ratcliffe bought his first business in 1984 and during his 30 years career he has had both overall charge and responsibility for small businesses and headed departments in larger organisations, culminating in spending 4 years as Sales Director of a plc. He brings a number of skills, talents and attributes to the team, most notably that of being able to enter an organisation and clearly evaluate its areas of strength and identify those areas where it is not so strong, whether it be in its operational strategies and processes or in its people. As an experienced analytical and strategic thinker, he can create and deliver new initiatives where he can see a gap for them and bring improvement to existing procedures where they are required. In the mid 90’s Nick’s first opportunity to experience the power of developing a business through franchising was as Sales Director of Close Encounters plc where he and his team sold 17 franchise territories at £25,000 in the first 12 months. Since then he has had experience as a franchisee himself and ultimately went on to franchising his own business in 2006-09. Having seen the franchise model used for business expansion from all sides over some 25 years he brings a wealth of experience to the Morgan Blake Solutions team. Then, in 2023, Nick found the most delightful franchise, and decided to buy it for himself. Motorhome Depot. He currently works in Torbay, the English Riviera. Nick has a gift for being able to understand the nature of people in their individual process, how they relate to each other and the nature of group dynamics. He believes that we need to realise our potential for excellence and has a fascination for what motivates us and ultimately how we create our lives from moment to moment.

Are your staff leaving? are they regularly off work sick? is workforce conflict common place? Has performance stagnated or dropped? Are customer service levels waning? Are incentives failing to drive performance? 🤒😟 All of these point towards a demotivated workforce. It’s not that you are providing a bad place to work; it’s more likely that staff have just become disillusioned because their work is misaligned with their inner motivations. Sometimes just understanding what motivates people and empowering managers to delegate the right tasks to the right people is all it takes to transform your business. 😊 With our powerful motivational map and diagnostic tool, we can pinpoint what motivates / demotivates your staff and help you to manage them more effectively. Our tool can be used in the recruitment and selection process, when carrying out annual appraisals, when developing talent and performance management strategies, and when managing teams and individuals. Our process works as follows: ✔️ Each key individual (Managers and their team) complete the diagnostic tool ✔️ We create and share with you, your Managers and each individual, a 15-page report ✔️ We coach your team(s) on how their motivational drivers affect their performance ✔️ We coach you and your managers on how to better manage individuals based on their motivations ✔️ We create a workforce motivation strategy based around the motivations and profile types of your staff Why not contact me for a free 30 min consultation to confidentially talk about your business and workforce challenges.
