I founded Hexagon Consultants back in 2015 with a former colleague Sue Williams. It was a big leap!
I’d spent the previous 15+ years of my career as CFO or FD in a number of blue chip businesses such as United Biscuits plc, Next plc and Shop Direct (which had just been bought by the Barclay Brothers).
As I left the last ‘employed’ role I had with Pattonair, I was asking myself “what do I want to do next?” I had turned down a number of CFO roles along the way as I tried to make up my mind. It’s hard to get to the top of the ladder and jump down in order to start two businesses from scratch with zero revenue. But that’s what I did!
Sue and I have worked to build Hexagon Consultants, growing it to become a multi-million revenue business over the last five years whilst working with clients such as Jaguar Land Rover, Liberty Steel, and Dyson. Alongside this, I also started my plant-based desserts business – Freaks of Nature.
In the early days at Hexagon, we focused more on working with clients on supply chain projects. But, once clients understood our broader team’s capabilities, we were continually being asked for more – including M&A, Finance, Complex Debt Funding and Transformation.
“We’ve marked this milestone year with an exciting re-brand and a new website. Our new tagline, ‘Rising to Every Challenge’, was inspired by client feedback.”
