Testimonials

Paul Booker - Bionanovate Ltd

Poole, Dorset

I first started working with Laura McHarrie six months after the launch of my first company ooops! in 2002. I have since invested in two other diverse businesses, tripleO and Natures-Panacea. I have used other advisors for specific advice and support, many introduced through her network, Laura however, has remained a valued business advisor and sounding board throughout. I appreciate her creative thinking, her straight talking, probing questions and her ability to appreciate the answers. The combination is quite unique and very powerful. She challenges my decisions which enables me to step back and think through my previously planned course of action.


There have been three notable occasions when Laura's support has been most appreciated: The first, when two members of staff left ooops! to work with a competitor that opened an outlet less than four miles and just twelve minutes drive away. Although the outcome of Laura’s advice helped us fight this new competitor and they closed down three years later! The second, when the shareholders in a company I took over attempted a vote of no confidence; I subsequently wound the company up and purchased the I.P. We now have a successful and innovative bio-tech business we call Natures-Panacea. The third, was when I applied for and was successful in obtaining a €5 million grant to ascertain the reasons why and how our nano-technology tripleO product worked on the aerodynamics of aircraft, marine and renewables.

I am a self-made and driven entrepreneur who seldom doubts the direction I am taking. Laura has been a valuable, questioning, sounding board throughout this time.
