Understanding the role of MD and the pressures on SME Management Team's makes me passionate about adding value and not adding more work for you to do after l leave. So if all you want is a sounding board to confidentially discuss your business plans with, then great. But if you want a full turnkey outcome then l am more than happy to play a hands on role.
