IN PURSUIT OF POTENTIAL

Create a Future that Excites You

Are you already walking a business tightrope, trying to balance volume, price, cost and profit?

Is it already a struggle to get any meaningful growth and it feels like all wriggle room has gone?

Do you accept that market conditions hold you back, think smaller and put your ambitions on hold? Or do you think about opportunity instead?

You would probably have some ideas already about what that might look like. But are they winning ideas? Are they the only ones? What else might you uncover?

 

If only you had the time...

Who?

My name is Simon Bird and I started supporting business leaders in 2019 to help them make transformative steps in achieving their growth potential. Over several years – from this small start and across multiple client projects – SEON Growth Ltd emerged.

My approach is based on first-hand experience over 30 years of leading sales and marketing in international premium branded businesses.

From my first job, selling paper to designers, to my last, as global executive director for marketing and EC in the furniture industry I have been asked, whatever the market conditions, to lead and deliver profitable growth.

Finding and sustaining it has been my constant challenge, whether I have been facing brand stagnation, increased competition, disruption or underlying market change.

It forced me to be constantly innovative in my approach and where necessary drive transformative change. I always felt it was important not just to stay with the game, but preferably to get, and stay, ahead of it.

Finding and backing new ideas has been at the core of what I do, and now I help other do it too.

RECENT CLIENT FEEDBACK

Simon’s approach was very thorough, and in no way a quick fix. A lot of people were involved and a lot of opinions questioned. Now it’s easy to give an opinion – but Simon interrogated further, and asked people to substantiate them – and as a result, people understood what he was doing.

RECENT CLIENT FEEDBACK

Got to the heart of our issues very quickly and provided a logical and achievable set of outputs. Very easy to work with as well, which helps!

RECENT CLIENT FEEDBACK

The way Simon handled the project and team was not just actionable, but respectful, and I had seen how people responded to his approach.  This gave me enough confidence to go for the second project – which was a little more difficult.  At that point we weren’t even sure what the potential value could be, and how much it could grow. I had confidence that Simon could handle this risk well.

RECENT CLIENT FEEDBACK

Such an amazing experience. Came in confused and left with great clarity and a plan.
Would recommend to anyone. Fantastic. Thank you.

RECENT CLIENT FEEDBACK

Simon is not just systematic but thoughtful and charming in the way he brings out what can be quite hard messages.  He can rally people, and get them to talk – and that’s a great character trait.  Then he doesn’t just present an opinion, but grounds a true argument and embeds a new way of thinking.

RECENT CLIENT FEEDBACK

As a result of Simon’s work, I think the culture changed. Teams are much better organised, and communicate more. People feel part of a larger community, and they now follow through on the changes they want to see. The feeling of responsibility is more shared, and everyone cares about the P&L.
