Leaders rarely contact me when things are simple. They reach out when the weight of responsibility feels heavy and the path forward is unclear.
You might recognise yourself in one of these short scenes:
When the business starts running you
Decisions pile up, your team look to you for answers, and you can’t find the space to think. Our conversations create breathing room, help you cut through the noise, and give you clarity on what to prioritise.
When growth puts strain on delivery
Sales are moving, but service levels, operations, or cash control are straining. Talking it through gives you sharper insight into cause and effect, so you can protect margin and keep the wheels steady as you grow.
When customers feel the cracks
Key clients are noticing missed deadlines, declining service, or inconsistent quality. Together we get under the surface of what’s driving it, and you leave with the confidence to address issues before they erode reputation and cash flow.
These are not abstract problems. They are real pressures that hold back performance if left unaddressed.
As one investor put it:
Lots of people talk the talk, but Trevor very much walks the walk. I would absolutely recommend him.
James Eden, Private Investor
Because I am still hands-on as an interim in high-pressure roles, I stay on point with the real issues leaders face. My work is not abstract. I am living the same pressures, decisions and trade-offs as you. That is what makes me a valuable sounding board: you are talking to someone who gets it in real time.
Working together
Clients often describe me as a trusted adviser and a critical friend, someone who listens, challenges, and helps refine their thinking before they share it with the wider business. Most of what we discuss never leaves the room, but it gives you the certainty to walk out and lead with conviction.
Here are a few of the conversations that often come up:
Testing a senior hire
A managing director is weighing a big appointment. We explore the risks, shape the role, and plan how it will land with the team so the announcement feels confident rather than disruptive.
Sharpening a growth plan
A business is chasing too many opportunities. We strip the plan back to what will genuinely move the dial and shape it into a message the team can deliver.
Handling a tough message
Performance has dipped and the team need to hear it. We rehearse the structure, tone, and delivery in private so the message comes across firmly and constructively, without losing the room.
Clients value that I bring:
-
A calm perspective that helps them sense-check ideas before rolling them out
-
Straightforward insight that sharpens their judgement on what will really move the dial
-
A trusted space to talk openly, without politics or second-guessing
A CEO I worked alongside described it this way:
Trevor will make a significant difference to commercial success.When you work with him, you will know that he doesn’t panic and can give sound advice under pressure and in adverse situations.
Simon Tennyson – CEO – Motorway Direct plc
Early shifts you’ll notice
In the early weeks, we focus on visible progress:
-
A simple operating rhythm that cuts through the noise
-
Clarity on priorities so the right things happen in the right order
-
Quick wins that free capacity or cash and show immediate impact
How we start
If this resonates, the next step is a short conversation. No heavy process and no obligation. Just a focused call to test where the pressure sits, what options exist, and whether I am the right fit.
Clarity and momentum often begin with a single decision. A brief discussion can reset the path forward.

If we’re not the right fit, you’ll still leave the call with clearer thinking about your next steps
