Local market read
The Belfast hiring market, the local client base, the pricing ceilings, the talent flight risk. The friction you're feeling is specific, and the answers are too.
Belfast · Creative agency coaching
Business coach Belfast, built one, sold one.
Belfast-based coaching for creative agency owners. From a founder who built an agency to £2.2M in this city over 13 years, then sold it. The frameworks were tested here first.
The Belfast story
Built in Belfast. Sold for seven figures.
I started my creative agency in a Belfast bedroom in 2009. Over thirteen years I grew it to £2.2M in revenue, a team of forty, and sold it in 2020 before exiting fully in 2022.
I know what it takes to build something valuable in Belfast specifically. Hiring local talent without losing the senior pick to London or Dublin. Pricing creative work for a market that does not always price it well. Building a business that is genuinely sellable, not just busy.
Now I work with Belfast agency owners who want to skip the painful parts and build the business buyers actually pay for.

Why a Belfast coach
Local context, global standard.
In-person when it helps
Most sessions run remote. For Belfast-based founders, in-person is an option when a decision benefits from a room and a whiteboard.
NI network
Connections across the Northern Ireland business community: agency accountants, M&A advisors, automation specialists, potential acquirers and complementary providers.
I've actually done it
I didn't read about selling an agency. I built one in Belfast, ran it for thirteen years, and sold it. The frameworks come from that, not from a theory deck.
