About 5 Circles

I have proudly worked in business support for 25 years in both the public and private sectors. I am fully experienced in due diligence across all aspects of a business and have set up 5 Circles to help business owners truly understand the goals of their business and help you get there.

I have a sleeves rolled up mentality and will immerse myself in your business and teams to fully understand what is needed to succeed. 

Full Circle

Hands-on, strategic business support that helps you define your goals, uncover opportunities, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and the right expertise around you. I use a bespoke 5 Circles tool that will provides real value to the business.

Circle Forward Sessions

A focused half-day session to help you work on the business not in the business. We will work through your ideas, your worries and pull them all together into a actionable to-do list. Importantly, you’ll be held to account after the session.

5 Circles values

Friendly

I pride myself on being friendly. When you work with me you will get a friendly demeanour and a willingness to help.

I will be excited when opportunities come to fruition. I will share in your celebrations and really become an extension of your team.

Loyalty

When you work with me, I become part of your team even if it’s just for half a day. With loyalty comes the responsibility of confidentiality. What we discuss goes no further.

Curiosity

I will ask you lots of questions, and more importantly, listen to your answers. I firmly believe that I can’t help you or your business if I don’t understand it. 

I will take the time to get to know and understand you and your team. With this, I will know how to help.
