Ashford’s one of Kent’s fastest-growing towns. It’s a veritable hub for transport, whether you want to get into London quickly, around the county of Kent, or across the channel to France. This influences the diverse business community greatly.
Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and with more heritage sites than anywhere else in Kent, Ashford’s a heady mix of history, nature and contemporary innovation. The rural landscape’s now home to local vineyards rather than just farmland. International transport spans rail, road and sea transportation.
Its dynamic economy and business-friendly environment offer enormous opportunity and some inevitable business challenges too. As a Kent-based business coach, I work closely with local business owners to turn these opportunities into real, lasting success.
Do you want to move your business to the next level?
What do you need to do to reach your full potential and achieve business success? With my business and career coaching services, I can help you to achieve your goals and dreams.
I’ve built my own small business from my hometown in Kent, and I’ve supported hundreds of local business owners and entrepreneurs in Kent, East Sussex and London, as well as others around the UK and Europe. Now it’s your turn.
What to Expect from a Business Coaching Session
This is your time to focus on your business goals – what do you want to achieve over the next 3 months? That doesn’t have to be about business growth exclusively, it may be about personal growth too.
Our sessions are tailored to your specific needs. You may want support with strategic business planning, specific areas of personal development or to find ways to step away from your business and improve your personal life, health and wellness.
How do you prefer to engage? We can have our one-to-one business coaching sessions face-to-face or online, whichever works best for you. And I can provide ongoing mentoring and business support in between sessions too. It really helps to keep you on track.
I also run group coaching sessions with other business owners and entrepreneurs from the Ashford area.

Testimonials
Moving from Caracas in Venezuela, EMS Electrical business owner Vicente Romano knew all about electrical leads, but not how sales leads and conversions worked in the UK. He wanted to improve revenue growth for his business, and also to claim back some time for himself.
That’s why he turned to me at ActionCoach for help.
“Being in a different environment and understanding different conditions, the only way to do it is with someone who challenges you… Having a coach provides you with goals and setting them in the right direction.” Vicente Romano
The result? Turnover increased from £120,000 to £400,000 within two years. Vicente grew both his team and his market. And importantly, he felt empowered to lead his team and business.
“We were in a bad situation… At that time I was living on my savings and now I’m able to cover my expenses which was goal number one. Next, we’re taking the business to £1 million in three years time or even sooner.” Vicente Romano, EMS Electrical
