Paul Clarke – Manchester Franchise
I started my business life in the corporate world in 1984 and was fortunate to spend the next 33 years working with some great people and developing skills such as leadership, financial, sales and marketing and operational. I managed well in excess of 2000 members of staff in my career, working to £20M plus budgets and being responsible for 1000’s of business customers. I developed an extensive internal and external network which I support and call upon on a regular basis and my career gave me the opportunity to raise significant sums of money for local and national charities.
I took the decision to join UK Business Mentoring so I could use the skills and experience gained and share this with business owners to overcome their challenges to growth and fulfilment. The values of UKBM are aligned with my values especially our focus to add real value in a professional and supportive way which develops a long-term relationship.
I am delighted with my progress to date with UKBM which has exceeded both the initial franchise projections and my own stretch targets. What has stood out though is the support received to date and collaborative network I am now part of and contributing to.
