“I am self-employed and I suddenly lost one of my contracts due to funding cuts and felt much panic. I knew I had to do something but I didn’t really know what that something was. I called Doug for a free consultation and I have not only gained a business coach but a good friend and he has more than paid for himself and I would thoroughly encourage anyone who is struggling to invest in some support.”

“Whilst I have more than 19 years’ experience in human resources, running my own business meant becoming a marketing and sales person, an accountant and gaining other skills alien to me. Doug genuinely cares and is also passionate that my business succeeds. At a very scary time, he gives me the confidence I need to believe in myself.”

“As my business became established I recognised that a business coach would help me get the systems and approaches in place that I needed to make the next growth step. Doug came highly recommended and I am pleased to recommend him to others also. Doug is a good listener and asks perceptive questions. He has been very supportive and encouraging and has provided me with a greatly valued sounding board. I particularly appreciated Doug’s practical suggestions as well as his strategic insights. Thanks Doug!”

“I am a solicitor in practice on my own, dealing in residential property sales and purchases, commercial property transactions and the buying and selling of small businesses. As with many businesses, large or small, the last 18 months have been difficult. As a result of 12 months guidance with Doug’s guidance, my day-to-day business practices have been put on an altogether different footing. Moreover the Momentum programme has provided a toolbox of techniques which give me confidence in my ability to be better able to deal with the challenges of the trading conditions.”

"I began working with ETC to try and increase my profits and to achieve some goals that has been in my head for over 15 years. Within the first 3 months of working with ETC I had got a grip on my finances of the business, had moved out of the garage at home and realised my dream of owning my own photography studio in the city centre."

"I enrolled on the Momentum Training Programme 12months ago and immediately started to run my business in a more efficient manor. Doug’s first free consultation highlighted the key factors and methods of operation that needed adjusting to allow a decent cashflow to be maintained on a weekly basis."

“With the help of Doug D, The Mystery Partnership has expanded significantly in export markets especially in South Africa and his knowledge, experience and contacts were instrumental in our achieving a marketing leading 5 star position in places such as Cape Town. Our 18 month project plan on the South African entry market gained considerably from Doug’s input and suggested options.”
