Public Sector Specialist moves to set up own Private Sector practice

Andrew had over 20 years experience of working with Government, public and private sector partners where he had  developed policies and mechanisms for the delivery and long-term management of greenspace and green infrastructure.  As an expert in landscape design and sustainable development he had proven skills in driving forward change and impact on housing growth agenda and land regeneration.

Following redundancy we worked with Andrew to help him redirect his career and identify specific career options. From our initial discussions and career coaching Andrew decided to set up his own niche consultancy business.

We worked with him over several sessions to give him the tools to help him move forward including a new CV.  We gave him the confidence and conviction to help him develop his new career path into private practise.  The areas we covered included how to conduct a SWOT analysis on his new business, writing a business plan, developing marketing activity and increasing his profile in the local community with proactive networking.

Andrew benefitted significantly from the direct experience which his consultant was able to bring of self employment and starting and managing a company.  Within a few weeks he was up and running with a clear business plan and focused marketing campaign.
