"Stephen Dann was assigned to us by GrowthAccelerator as our growth coach. He has been a tremendous help in getting our business focused on how to deliver our three year plans.

"Stephen has been a massive help to our Senior Leadership Team as our assigned coach in the Growth Accelerator programme.He is unafraid to voice an opinion, is gentle yet firm and has transformed the way we manage our marketing. Very highly recommended for his commercial savvy but also his pragmatic approach to solving knotty problems." Sheila Griffiths, Director, Consult HR
“Growth Accelerator is an excellent process and I cannot speak highly enough of it. In the midst of running a business, it is difficult to rise above the daily tasks and be objective. Stephen has provided the insight and challenge that can only really come from outside of the business and combined with his supportive approach has helped us to form a strategy that we can work with and build on to achieve our objectives”. Sam East, General Manager, Subacoustech Environmental Ltd

Stephen has become an asset, ensuring I focus on the business and not get side tracked, working in the business." Allan Chester, Managing Director, UK Postbox

"ASH have been working with Stephen Dann on the Growth Accelerator programme since late June 2013 and have found it a vitally important, and timely exercise. I would go so far as to say we couldn't have managed the growth we are experiencing without it. With Stephen's expert guidance, we have worked through what growth goals we should aim for, discussed the impact on the business and the staff team, and determined the priorities for an enlarged and growing business. Stephen has given us the tools to manage our ongoing growth as well as helping us answer some of the challenging, but vitally important, questions about the future direction of the company."
