Home to Staffordshire's most committed founders and business owners
Get clarity first. Build the plan, lean. Then build the systems that scale.
Whatever stage your business is at, half formed idea or ready to grow fast, we start the same way. No assumptions, no guessing, no forty page strategy document. Just the next right step, tested against reality.
HOW WE WORK
Every founder we work with goes through the same three stages, whatever their starting point. The order is the method, so we don't skip steps.
The three stage approach
Stage 01
Get Clarity First
Work out what's actually true about the business, or the idea, through a free workshop, a Business MOT, or a straight conversation. No assumptions.
Stage 02
Build the plan, lean
A Lean Canvas, a 90 day plan, whatever's proportionate. Small changes, tested against reality, not a strategy document that sits in a drawer.
Stage 03
Build the systems that scale
Once direction is proven, put the structure in. CRM, process, Hoshin style planning, so growth doesn't depend on you holding it together by hand.
PROOF, NOT PROMISES
Neil has built and broken things himself, on the shop floor and in the boardroom, across two countries.
Go True North UK is the extension of a business run in Australia for fifteen years. Everything taught here is proven there first.
Reference

Neil is VP at the Chamber, working with founders and businesses he actually knows. Rooted here, not parachuted in.
BUSINESS BUILDERS
Which one is right depends on where your business is right now. A free Discovery Call is where we work that out together, and if none of the three are right yet, we'll say so.
Three programmes, one route in
NOT READY TO TALK YET
Two ways in, no pitch attached. Both feed the same place: the podcast, and when you're ready, a free Discovery Call.
