I am passionate about helping small businesses and start ups not make the mistakes that many (including me!) have made, resulting in reducing costs, increasing turnover/profit and making the most of the resources to hand. My experience, both as corporate intrapreneur and entrepreneur, encompasses several areas, based and products, brands and marketing. Unlike many 'consultants', I practice what I preach, having my own businesses, in event management and international product sourcing and development. Contacting me costs you nothing. Not contacting me may cost you your business! Specialties: Product Development Brand Development Sourcing Buying Marketing SME Support & Mentoring

Mauritius is a paradise island in the Indian Ocean - look right from South Africa and go a bit further than Madagascar! With a thriving tourist industry, it also produces some of the best exotic fruits, most beautiful flowers, tasty beers and rums and a wide range of other food and drink items. Textiles and clothing has been a success story, with products sold to retailers and brands across the world. More recently, financial services and property investment have become major areas of investment. Maurifresh was set up to promote some Mauritian products in UK & European markets and also advises exporters on the best way to sell to the UK market, with bespoke research, introduction and management services available.
Most business owners only have contact with their local council when they have issues or are being chased for business rates. What many do not know is that their council can be a great supporter of small businesses, by giving advice and guidance. Departments such as environmental health, trading standards, building control and waste management can be proactive, wanting to work with businesses, ensuring that they are compliant and efficient, before any issues arise. London Means Business works with councils, organising free business events, highlighting how supportive councils can be, as well as offering free 1:1 advice, networking, seminars and an exhibition to visitors. These events are free for visitors and are no/low cost to councils.
