Are you interested in growing your business?

David explains how to get involved and offers you some next steps.

Who this is for

Built for businesses with ambition

  • Food and produce businesses ready to grow past a plateau
  • Farm businesses looking to diversify into direct sales
  • Food businesses wanting to reset their marketing and customer strategy
  • Operators who know the food side works and need to build the business side around it
  • Anyone who wants clarity on where they are going and a plan to get there
This is just the beginning

The Business Growth course is the first part of a wider support system we’re building for farms and food businesses. More is coming — tools, campaigns, strategy support and more.

If the course isn’t quite right for you right now, or you want to get moving immediately, book a free growth call and we’ll point you in the right direction.

What you come away with

Not just theory. A working plan.

01
Clarity on your vision and goals
A clear picture of where your business is going and what growth actually looks like for you specifically.
02
A retention and customer strategy
Understanding of how to get more from existing customers, bring lapsed ones back, and reduce churn.
03
A marketing approach that fits
Messaging and channel strategy built around your business, not generic advice that ignores the realities of running a farm.
04
Campaigns you can actually run
Practical campaign structures for the moments that matter — new customers, lapsed customers, basket growth.
05
A 90-day action plan
By week 7 you will present your own action plan to the group. You leave with something you can implement immediately.
06
A peer group who gets it
A small cohort of non-competing food businesses working through the same challenges. The conversation is part of the value.

What people say

From people who have worked with David

“We will be implementing some of his suggestions as we look to grow the business. We would recommend getting in touch with him as he has valuable insights from running a successful veg box scheme himself.”
Hedgehog Organics
“Just this one session with David has helped me to gain more clarity around my next big step, scaling my start up.”
TawValley Microgreens
“The course was very well laid out with key elements of promoting, gaining and importantly retaining new, existing and lapsed customers. It also helped us establish a marketing strategy for all the elements of our business and I come away far clearer on our aims and vision for the future.”
