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

Staffordshire County Council

The reference contract behind our government and council work, and the route through which many local founders first find Go True North.

Live Client

Pyrotek

A live proof point for the Lean process and systems work, an active example of the method delivering results right now, not a case study written up after the fact.

Local

Cannock Chase Chamber of Commerce

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.

THE PODCAST

Vision to Venture

Real conversations, real builds, hosted by Neil. The channel exists to build trust at a distance, and to point back to the free workshop, not to be a channel with its own separate goals.
