SKILLS
ABOUT MELANIE HIRD
I’ve always believed growth comes from two things: clarity and confidence.Most businesses don’t fail because the product is wrong — they fail because the leaders feel stuck, alone, or unsure which move to make next.I’ve been through all of it myself.I’ve raised debt, built businesses, taken equity stakes, navigated tough moments, turned around performance, sold companies and sat side-by-side with founders when everything was on the line. And that experience is exactly why I do what I do now.Through Fresh Thinking Group, I help ambitious SMEs grow with a mix of advisory, capital, and something people rarely talk about in business: real, human support.What I bring to the table A strategic mind that can cut through noise and get to the heart of what really matters Experience across the full journey — fundraising, acquisitions, growth plans, restructures, exits An ability to see the bigger picture, even when a business feels chaotic A relationship-driven approach based on honesty, empathy and saying it as it is A team around me who have lived this journey too — we aren’t theorists, we’re practitionersWhat drives meI love working with leaders who genuinely want to grow — not just financially, but personally. The ones who want to build something meaningful, get unstuck, gain clarity, or take a big next step with someone in their corner.My strength is helping people see what’s possible, making complex situations feel lighter, and giving them a clear route forward.If you are growing, acquiring, hitting a wall, or preparing for a sale — or you just want someone you can trust to help you think — let’s have a conversation.
