We are a small but mighty collection of thinkers, dreamers, and problem solvers …. And we’re going to help you do something extra-ordinary.

THE SKY’S THE LIMIT.

Working with big brands and SMEs to drive growth and improvement to the next level.

We call ourselves a “boutique advisory”. The boutique part is down to us only working with experts who match our values and have a real-world track record of success; it’s a select bunch so we refuse to be a management-consultant-superstore. And the advisory thing? Well, we think trust is important so we wanted a better word than ‘consultancy’ - after all you didn’t consult with mum and dad, you went to them for advice.

How we bring you success

  • People are the true differentiator, make them your competitive advantage.

    Leadership? It's not just some fancy title reserved for the higher-ups. We believe that every single person in your organization embodies leadership. It's not about the job title you hold; it's about what you bring to the table. To be a good leader, you must help create the right culture and accomplish three things; focus, alignment and excellent execution.

  • The customer’s jourrney though your busness touches ever part of your business. Have an independent eye look at it and see if it all fits together.

    We sit at the intersection between marketing, sales and customer service. We call it “the sweet spot”.

  • Having managed some of the biggest brands in the world, we know what is really important.

    Technology, creativity and budget doesn’t matter as much as authenticity and consistency.

  • There is often opportunity in looking at what we already do through a different lens.

    Pricing, cost build up, supplier negotiations and customer management are things that need to be regularly attended to.

  • There are few people in this world more qualified to help with your dreams of global domination. Let’s talk staregy and aprpoach!

  • Get the basics right or spend half your time revisiting those problems that act as a drag on progress instead of powering he business forward.

  • Every business needs trusted, independent advice. “Loving critics” who will use broad and unique experience and insight to challenge with the best of intentions, to make you more successful. Sometimes this is at board level, chairity trustees or maybe just a regular meeting over coffee to bounce ideas around.

The difference.

When you come to us for help, you get a response sculpted to you and your situation. To do that we bring a unique combination of experience, creative problem-solving, inspiration and thought-leading ideas. But it's all passed through a filter of ‘what works’ and its this ability to apply real-world experience that makes our advice so impactful.

You know your business best which is why we work with you to design the way forward, implement the action plan and monitor its success. We don’t leave you with complicated plans that your team don’t get.

8SQUARE measures success the same way you do, so if you’re feeling good about the business, then we’re feeling good about your business. It’s what makes us different, we help you be successful in your way.

(01-10) Our fit

We call ourselves a “boutique advisory”. The boutique part is down to us only working with experts who match our values and have a real-world track record of success; it’s a select bunch so we refuse to be a management-consultant-superstore. And the advisory thing? Well, we think trust is important so we wanted a better word than ‘consultancy’ - after all you didn’t consult with mum and dad, you went to them for advice.

(11-18) The challenge

Have you been charging forward only to find yourself in the same place? You’ve probably been working your socks off for a while now, but somehow the gains you earned never fully matched the effort you put in. Or perhaps you pulled out all the stops and hit that audacious target, but now growth from here seems impossible?

We know the feeling of making progress and then finding that somehow the market has moved forward just as much. We understand because we have been there, and its our real world experience that helps us bring real solutions.

(19-27) The solution

We help pull everything together so you become a progressive, modern organisation achieving world-class outcomes. If we’re not aiming for that, then what’s the point? Much of what we offer is based on proven, traditional thinking (so you don’t have to worry about silly, trending management ideas), but we add some research, creativity and experience so that it applies to the modern world. Please reach out to us for a chat about what your challenge is and we can discuss some of the solutions we have seen work.

We have clients in a range of industries, we partner with the best and those that want to be described as that. Our clients cover automotive, retail, media, consulting, property, industrial, B2B, B2C, technology and education. We also have experience working with charitable organisations and look to support these with reduced fees where we can. Please contact us for a discussion.

01

Project Firm Footing

A manufacturing business that grew quickly in the eCommerce space felt they had lost control and it was beginning to impact their customer confidence.

“8SQUARE revised our administrative processes by reducing costs and streamlining operations we now feel we have a clearer, faster view of what’s happening in the business. That’s made our decision-making easier and better”- A, Ark

02

Project Weave

This client had stagnated and was losing important, long term clients.

“We wanted 8SQUARE to help us move from a stagnated state. They started by improving our cashflow through recovering funds and stock management. Then they turned their attention to the future and guided us through a strategic process that improved our market understandings and left us with a clever, workable plan that is helping us grow. They don’t approach the business like most, they consider the whole and the customer much more than the consultants we used in the past” J. INX

03

Project Renovation

This impressive property tech company wanted us to take a look at their organisational structure.

“8SQUARE was engaged to provide an organisational structural review that would cater for the company’s ongoing rapid growth.

I can highly recommend Stuart for his exceptional insights and actionable suggestions which significantly improved the current structure and better positioned us for further expansion; what was implemented as a result of his work led to further efficiencies, productivity, and employee satisfaction.” B. Acaboom

Trust & Independence

Some leaders understand that having someone to meet with and discuss issues (in confidence) is invaluable. Just as a board of directors uses professionals from outside the business, so other leaders can leverage the same value from us.

“I have encountered many talented individuals, very few of them, however, at Stuart’s level. Stuart combines intellect and excellent education with an outstanding ability of strategic thinking and skillful tactical execution. He possesses high interpersonal and leadership skills and an innate business sense. For years, I have observed Stuart’s high level of integrity and accountability. Stuart can be trusted and is a great guy as well. I definitely recommend him for high-end consulting missions as his business acumen and international career give him a great ability to identify swiftly areas of improvement.”.” G. Harley-Davidson

“I get great value from discussing my business challenges with 8SQUARE. I get great support and alternative views when I need them.” J. BMW
