Luke Trimmings testimonial: Luke describes the clarity, structure and accountability he gained from working with me. His words below explain how a practical plan helped his team move forward through disruption and uncertainty.
Working with Shane has given us huge clarity and structure. Against a backdrop of tech disruption and economic uncertainty, he’s helped us build a plan and held us accountable while we’ve executed against it. Shane’s credibility is real – built on genuinely running successful businesses himself – and that experience shows in the frameworks and systems he brings to bear. This isn’t cookie-cutter coaching. It’s transformational. Thanks, Shane.

Martyn Lenthall testimonial: Martyn describes how our coaching work helped him tackle people, finances and time management. His words below cover customer inquiries, cash flow and delegation.
Like many business owners, I found building a successful business challenging, especially around people, finances, and time management. Through Shane and Summit SCALE Business Coaching, I was able to work through these challenges and, between us, solve the vast majority of issues in running a successful business. Specifically, I developed a number of strategies to maintain a constant and manageable flow of inquiries for new customers, managed cashflow until clients became profitable, and delegated within the business so that the right people were doing the right tasks at the right time and the business didn’t rely on me as a business owner. I would highly recommend the coaching program if you are looking to finally build the business that you dreamed of when you started out.

Rachel Brown testimonial: Rachel describes our work during the first year of building Proclean Group. Her words below cover planning, recruitment and the support she needed at a demanding stage.
Working with Shane during the first year of building Proclean Group gave me the structure, clarity and support I needed at a demanding stage of the business. Together, we introduced a rolling 90-day planning rhythm, refined our proposition so we could stand out in a competitive market, and developed better processes for recruiting the right people. Shane also understood the emotional pressures that come with launching and growing a business. His combination of practical guidance, humour, honest challenge and steady support helped me make stronger decisions and build firmer foundations for growth.
There’s an accolade that Shane truly deserves – and I think worth mentioning. He’s washed, worn and ironed all the t-shirts you are either going through or about to go through as a business owner. Lean in, listen and learn.

Anna Gorman testimonial: Anna describes her experience of working with Steve. Her words below cover financial planning, reaching buyers and developing a new product.
In a few sessions, Steve helped me organise the financials and made me realise that burying your head in the sand is far more stressful than getting a grip, understanding what you need, and then creating a solid plan to achieve your goals. He has also helped us to get our products in front of several buyers which would have taken months, if not years to achieve, if we struggled on alone. We have also created a brand new product which shows exciting promise. Since working with Steve our projected yearly turnover has trebled, which will more than cover the cost of the coaching. If you are an ambitious startup/SME then Steve is the man with the plan, he can take your business to the next level while saving your sanity and re-igniting your passion.

Toby Mildon testimonial: Toby describes our work together at Mildon Consulting. His words below cover planning, profitability, positioning and stronger client partnerships.
Working with Shane brought much greater clarity and discipline to my consulting practice (Mildon Consulting). Over 18 months, we introduced a rolling 90-day planning rhythm, restructured the organisation and cost base, and returned the business to profitability. Shane also helped me clarify our proposition, repositioning us from being seen simply as a vendor and training provider to a strategic “trusted adviser” working with executive teams. Alongside that, we developed deeper client partnerships, which strengthened repeat business and generated more referrals rather than continuously chasing new leads. His combination of strategic challenge, practical structure and accountability made a significant difference to the way I lead my business.

Shane’s way of working has ensured the coaching journey hasn’t been overwhelming, and my confidence in my business’s future is growing more every day.

Working with Shane helped us bring greater structure, focus and consistency to the way we run Proclean. Over 12 months, we introduced a rolling 90-day strategic planning rhythm, giving us clearer priorities and stronger accountability. Shane also helped us measure our marketing more accurately, so we could continually improve our lead-generation channels rather than rely on guesswork. We developed stronger delivery systems to improve the customer experience and encourage referrals, while also creating a more robust business model to support our plans for future expansion through franchising.

We have been working with Shane over the last six months. We have really appreciated his insight into the business; having a fresh set of eyes has been invaluable.
