Will’s support and expertise have been a revelation. In tandem with the course content, he has made clear what work we need to do in the planning stage to grow our business to the next level. I now know what I need to do over the next few months to firm up both my commercial and operational plan.
The mentoring support package provided by Fintan was very well structured and delivered.
