“Every founder needs someone in their corner who can challenge their thinking, restore perspective and help them navigate the toughest seasons. For me, Alistair was that person.”
Samni Adegoke, CEO, Rehoboth Property Group
Fixed term. Twelve months, then it ends by design. If a new chapter arrives we can agree one together.
Protected time, committed in advance. Available when it matters most.
No group sessions. No cohorts. One person, one relationship.

"I spend most of my time being the person everyone needs me to be. I'm not sure anyone sees the real one."
"I'm so caught up in keeping things moving that I've stopped thinking about where they're moving to."
"The advice I receive is well-intentioned. It just never quite fits the way I actually work."
"I started this to be free. I've never felt less free in my life."
"The moments when I most need someone to talk to are never the ones that fit neatly into a diary."
"The bigger the moment, the more exposed I feel walking into it."
"The cost of doing nothing worries me. So does the cost of doing the wrong thing."
“I have been given advice by people who’ve never actually built anything. Having someone who has, and who actually takes the time to fully understand the business no matter how small, has been completely different. It wasn’t just about telling me what to do — it was about learning exactly how I wanted my life to look and how the business can help me get there.”
Hallam Cousins, Founder, Gym Strength Therapy
“The most valuable thing Alistair brings is calm. He has stood where you are standing, he is not alarmed by it, and he helps you hear your own thinking more clearly. For someone building a business, that is worth a great deal.”
Dr Keith Grimes, Founder, CEO, Clinical Safety Officer

On why the value of a long-standing advisory relationship isn't technical competence — it's the accumulated knowledge of how someone thinks under pressure, where their judgement is sharp, and where it quietly isn't.
