Cloudbusting provide practical, independent support for business owners preparing to sell, pass on or step back. Having spent over 17 years as second-generation managing director of our family-owned engineering business and went through its sale myself, I now help owners prepare earlier, understand what buyers will examine and protect their choices. 

I specialise in family-owned manufacturing and engineering businesses and help SMEs with strategy and growth planning; leadership and succession; reducing dependence on the owner; financial forecasts and business value. One of my most valued services is to be an independent sounding board for difficult decisions.

Through my Family Business Compass programme, I help families clarify ownership and leadership roles, prepare the next generation, plan succession and have conversations that can otherwise be put off for too long.
