Peter Fleming Business Consultancy

Since December 2014 I've been a business owner, therefore, I fully understand the challenges of operating an SME business. I have over this time gained a broad knowledge of different industry sectors. No two clients are the same and vary from nuclear supply chain specialisms to Retail, (online & bricks and mortar), tourism, agriculture, professional services, manufacturing and associated service industries.

In that time I've supported over 50 SME business owners across Cumbria on a professional and a commercial basis. Initial meetings are exploratory to find out the underlying cause and effect of their current problem or challenge. From a better understanding of how the business operates, the structure, processes, how the owner manages their staff along with their marketing strategy we carry out further research to understand the potential business change project. We then agree set phases, time frames, allowing us to work together on a plan and a clear way forward.

Over the last few years whilst supporting my clients, predominately SME business owners, I have facilitated the company business process and improvement sessions involving the full businesses complement of staff.

I have managed teams successfully for many years have had between 12 and 17 direct reports in previous roles for 2 Global commercial vehicle manufactures. Over 28 years' experience working for 2 global commercial corporations, within their wholly-owned regions across the North of England and Scotland. From a trainee to Commercial Sales Director and Operations Director for Volvo AB’s second-largest commercial truck retail dealer region in Europe.
