I now sought to assist SME businesses that seldom engage consultants for various reasons. However, I wished to avoid establishing another base of on-site clients, as well as the associated travel and frequent stays in hotel rooms."
"As a result, I founded WOSO-SME as a free 'virtual' service to specifically aid SME businesses."

Please feel free to ask any question. While I may not always have the answer, I will endeavour to provide an answer or seek additional information based on my 25+ years of consultancy experience and extensive business network.
Any business making an inquiry will automatically be considered a virtual client and will, therefore, receive regular updates on various topics or the business news that I believe would be of interest.
Although retired, I continue to receive numerous offers from suppliers hoping to be selected for my clients. If I find the offers to be worthwhile, I inform my virtual clients.
I will be compiling a collection of informational PDFs for your reference. Some of these will be authored by experts who possess significantly more knowledge than I do on specific subjects.
About us - Steve has provided our various sites with invaluable free advice and support. From contract management and negotiation to infrastructure changes and upgrades, Steve has always been on hand to advise (along with regular troubleshooting for good measure!). Managing various public sector sites it is without doubt the free consultancy we have received has enabled our centres to run efficiently and effectively even with the continued budgetary constraints.

About us - We have asked Steve to advise us many times simply because he has helped us in the past by parting with his extensive business knowledge. We know he will give us honest answers to our questions, and if we ask, will propose the best service or supplier he feels will provide what we require (managed introduction). Obviously, knowing that Steve is always in the background ensuring our needs are met, and that we can speak to him at any time, is a great business benefit.
