SME Specialists
SME Business Services
As a management consultant, I pride myself on having extensive business knowledge. Yet, consultants cannot be expert SME specialists in all areas and there are times when my clients required me to find and oversee specialist services in the UK and globally. I now provide this service at no cost.
Below is just a selection, please ask me to source any expert for any need.
specialist associates
I maintain a database of specialist that I originally sourced or reviewed for my fee-paying clients. Additionally, as a Fellow of the IIB (a business network with over 5000 advisors worldwide), I can source a person or business that may be able to help with any specialist need, in the UK and globally . (I will list some services below, but if you have any need to source a specialist please ask).
