Many businesses play with the concept but have no dedicated strategy or action plan. They dabble at dual desking and wonder why they aren’t building and growing their contractor book

What if you could turn your contract vision into reality and make recurring money every week?

"Chris support, advice, and no-nonsense, straight-talking approach have made a massive impact - not just on the business but on me personally. He’s not just a mentor; he’s your go-to advisor and someone you can really count on to challenge your thinking, unlock your full potential, and keep you focused.
What makes Chris stand out is his track record. He’s been there, done it, and got the results to prove it. He knows exactly what it takes to build and run a successful contract recruitment business because he’s lived it. There’s nothing he hasn’t seen, and that experience really shows in how he helps you tackle challenges, give perspective, and make the right calls.
If you’re a recruitment business owner - whether you’re just starting out or looking to take our business to the next level - I honestly don’t know anyone better suited to help you. Chris is the real deal, and his input will make all the difference."

Happy to continue the journey with you, Chris!"
Viktor Vedder - MD of Alpine Reach
"Chris came along at a crucial point in our business - if he hadn't been there to motivate, inspire and steer us the the right direction, we could have been looking at a much bleaker future. Chris instantly came across as knowledgeable, straight shooting and genuine. I chose to work with Chris over other coaches because during our first discovery call, he didn't sugar coat things and waste time beating around the bush, he gave me valuable advice and insights from the absolute get go. Chris has been incredibly supportive, offering materials, workshops, calls and daily communication to ensure we hit our goals and made some extremely important changes. We have already seen improvements since implementing certain processes that Chris has suggested which is amazing! Chris has been very accommodating with various requests which shows his authenticity as a person and coach. I would highly recommend him to any company or individual looking to achieve their goals, you won't be disappointed!"
Rowena Minney, Founder - Totally Teach
"Working with Chris has been fantastic for me over the last few months. Starting a solo business is daunting, having someone with Chris's experience to bounce ideas off has been a game-changer and he has helped to get processes in place to set me up for success in the long run."
Nicky Carlton – MD – ERA Recruit
"I decided to bring in Chris as an NED for our business based on the high levels of recommendations I had reviewed across multiple platforms. Chris has made a big impact on our business in a short space of time and has provided me and my business manager with some great ideas which we have successfully implemented this year. Chris's attention to detail and creative ideas are to be admired and I would highly recommend him to any recruitment businesses who need support/or are looking to expand in the near future."
