Simon Monaghan – Business Doctors
Simon’s approach is to understand the owner’s objectives, conduct a strategic review of the business, and then to work with and support the business owner to implement sustainable growth plans. Simon has worked with over 50 businesses of all shapes and sizes, helping each of them to produce a detailed plan to achieve the outcomes that are important to them, whether it be growth, succession, or exit etc. Effective communication is key to this approach, and Simon talks the same language as business owners, focusing on practical steps rather than theory dressed up in jargon.
