ABOUT JOHN GROVES

I work directly with business owners to help them plan, grow, save costs and exit their businesses - with clarity, confidence and real-world strategy.Over the last 20+ years, I’ve founded, scaled and successfully sold three businesses, including an IT company and a telecoms provider, each exit teaching me what really matters when you’re navigating change, managing growth or preparing to sell. Today, I use that experience to support other founders and leadership teams through business sale preparation, strategic growth planning and profitability improvement.My focus is simple: to help you increase the value of your business, make smart operational decisions and secure the right outcome, whether you\'re planning a future exit or responding to current challenges.I offer end-to-end support in:• Planning and executing successful exits• Preparing your business for sale (financially and operationally)• Increasing growth and scalability• Reducing costs and improving margins• Coaching you through high-stakes decisions with an experienced, practical voiceThis is not theoretical advice; I’ve sat in your seat. My goal is to make complex transitions easier and more strategic by working directly with you, one-to-one.Alongside my consulting work, I support several charities and community organisations including Rennie Grove Peace Hospice and Canine Partners, and I continue to mentor entrepreneurs who want to build value with purpose.Let’s connect if:• You\'re thinking about selling your business and want guidance from someone who’s been through it• You want to grow your business now to maximise future sale value• You\'re facing performance challenges and want to cut costs without cutting corners• You’re simply looking for an experienced sounding board who speaks from real-world experience
