Bio

Small Business Owners

Russell Hart runs a training and coaching academy designed for small business owners. He works on a 1-2-1 basis with his clients who benefit from his knowledge, wisdom and experience of being a small business owner since 1993.

He is an accredited Business Coach with Results Coaching Systems and in his spare time is Senior Vice President for Public Relations for the Bournemouth branch of Toastmasters International. He is also the author of a business newsletter and frequently makes presentations to small business owners designed to motivate, educate and inspire.

Russell was previously a Sales Director for the travel division of McDonnell Douglas, the aircraft manufacturer. After going through a management buy-out he helped the company grow from a turnover of £9M to over £26M in 6 years.

After selling his shares in 1999, he set up his own consulting company offering travel purchasing advice to major public and private sector organisations. His clients include the Department of Health, The Office for Government Commerce (OGCbuying Solutions), Bristow Helicopters, Foster Wheeler, the Commonwealth Secretariat and Balfour Beatty.

Although he works with large organisations, his passion is small business. He enjoys working with small business owners who have risked everything to leave corporate life.

Russell has a natural empathy with people who have chosen to run their own business and are determined to succeed. Having gone through many of the pains and challenges himself, he is passionate about helping other small business owners succeed. It is what he enjoys doing best!

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

"Russell spent time not only gaining an understanding of my aims, but helped me really clarify them for myself. The huge advantage of the regular sessions is that as obstacles or weaknesses are identified, he is able to help overcome them and keep me focused and on track. Without the sessions I would be working just as hard, but moving forward at a much slower pace. As business coaching goes it has been 100% worthwhile"

Quinton Watts-Managing Director-Launch Sales Development

“Russell has been an inspiration to me. I don’t know where my business would be now without his excellent coaching, sound advice and words of wisdom. I would recommend him to any business owner!”
Natalie Clare, Managing Director, Maison Feerique

"Starting a new business is such a fear and adrenalin fuelled enterprise. Working with Russell has helped me identify what was holding me back subconsciously, so that I could look at the issues independently and assess their risk. This has enabled me to take the all important step of employing staff, which has been the key to my company’s growth. I wouldn't’t have done it without Russell."
Darren Northeast, Managing Director, Spiral PR

“The coaching sessions were extremely beneficial, they made me realise how I could to change to become a more effective leader. I look back on my coaching experience and realise how valuable it was in improving my management effectiveness. Russell was a true coach pushing me to go further and stretch myself. Working with Russell was great; he understands the pressures of business and knows what is important to win. Coaching is time well spent. It allows you to see how you work today and how you can change to be more successful and make life easier.
Hamish Broom, Supplier Relations Director, EMEA, Sabre Travel Network

“Russell offers a very practical approach on how to set goals and make decisions – not always easy, but which teach you how to bring lasting changes to your life”
Liz Rowden -Small Business

“Russell, you should congratulate yourself on your ability to understand complex requests and business conditions and turn them into practical solutions. You have an overriding sense of humour that coupled with the above is a formidable strength in any business situation.”
Mike Hutson-American Express
