Bio
Suzie Appleby
We have been working with Graham & Susan from Bizphit for nearly 4 months now and the progress within the business has been amazing. Between them they hold a wealth of knowledge which has been instrumental in pushing us to achieve so much more. Communication and the organisation within our business has improved dramatically. Setting us goals after every meeting and being held accountable to work on those goals has pushed us to achieve a lot in a short space of time. I would highly recommend using their services and am looking forward to them being a part in the growth of our business.

As a young entrepreneur, I was in the early stages of building my business, equipped with an idea but no previous experience I was in desperate need for some guidance, accountability and advice. I was lucky enough to receive business coaching from Susan and Graham, the coaching has elevated my business as well as my own personal growth. In the short time that I started the coaching, what was just an idea blossomed into a fully functioning business and as a result I have recently landed my first major client. Susan and Graham shared their knowledge with me and were able to help me identify my own strengths and learn to believe in my abilities to succeed. I have benefited massively from the coaching and my business wouldnโt be where it is today without the coaching that I received. I am extremely grateful to them both and to the great service that they deliver. I highly recommend this to anyone and couldn't be more thankful.

We have been working with Bizphit for around 18 months to date. Susan and Graham have been absolutely instrumental in helping us grow our business since its inception, as well as through our fairly rapid growth over the past year or so. Describing the many ways in which theyโve supported us would take an essay, but the main reasons we enjoy working with them and would highly recommend their services are: - Open and honest (occasionally pretty frank) advice, based on their years of experience across multiple businesses - Constantly ensuring that the business is moving forwards by helping us set realistic, achievable goals which contribute to our wider aspirations - Holding us accountable to those goals (including feeling Susanโs fury occasionally if goals arenโt met, which is a great motivator!) - Their ability to spot warning signs in the business before we do and help us avoid upcoming issues They support us in so many other ways but ultimately, they just keep pushing the business forward, even when my business partner and I get sick of pushing and want a break! We havenโt hit an issue yet that they havenโt been able to offer some support and advice on. I like to think that weโve done at least some of the hard work ourselves, but Bizphit have been key to our success to date. If youโre considering working with a business coach then itโs definitely worth 30 minutes of your time to have a chat with Graham and Susan to see how they can help.
