The Strategy of a Marketing Director.
The Execution of a Developer and Designer.
I help ambitious UK SMEs scale with high-level marketing strategy, hands-on WordPress development, and professional brand design, all delivered by one trusted partner.
Get senior-level expertise without agency overheads or the cost of a full-time hire.
Why Most SME Marketing Fails
(And How I Solve It)
As an SME founder, you do not have the budget to hire a full marketing agency, a dedicated WordPress developer, a graphic designer, and a copywriter.
So, you usually end up with two bad choices:
- Hire an expensive agency that charges thousands a month but leaves you dealing with a junior account manager.
- Hire a junior in-house marketer who has great energy but lacks the commercial experience to drive real business growth.
There is a third way.
I act as your Fractional Marketing Partner. I do not just write 12-month strategies; I actually build the website, design the brand assets, write the copy, and optimise the conversions myself. You get one point of contact and total accountability.
Over 30 Years of Commercial Experience
(With Clients Who Stay for Decades)
I sold my own successful business in 2013 to become a freelance consultant. Since then, I have worked as the sole marketing engine for thriving SMEs across Stroud, Gloucestershire, and the Cotswolds.
In fact, I managed the entire marketing and digital ecosystem for one of my anchor clients for 12 straight years, right up until the business was successfully acquired.
When you work with me, you are not hiring a freelancer looking for their next quick gig. You are partnering with a seasoned business builder who understands P&L, commercial reality, and how to build long-term asset value.

Managing Director
Producing great results
We have regularly used Steve as a consultant over the past couple of years.
When we initially asked Steve to help, he quickly identified areas of our business that was not performing, like most businesses we were too close to notice the changes that could be made.
His fresh and creative thinking has helped FleetCheck’s marketing get on track and is producing great results.
