About 5 Circles

5 Circles was built on a strategic concept: after 25 years supporting businesses, I know success depends on five things working together — a product or service people want, an effective way of getting the word out, great people and culture, finance and funding that stack up, and operations that run smoothly.

I will work with you to make sure you’re making the most of all the growth opportunities available to you. Using my unique diagnostic tools I will give you a fresh pair of eyes and then roll my sleeves to unlock the opportunities.

I have experience of helping all these aspects of a business. This can include bringing in experts within my wide network. Whether it’s one of these things that you need help with or all of it, I can help.

Our Story

I have 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 then 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.

Our values

Friendliness

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.
