Bio
Jamie Gallagher
I was looking for an MD to tighten up our structure, processes and performance at HELLO® to see us through a phase of faster growth. I’d known Mike personally for many years, and at the time he was working as a non-exec coach for the business — so he seemed a natural choice for the role. Mike brought a calm, pragmatic approach, whilst challenging me hard on strategic and key leadership decisions. He was also happy to roll up his sleeves and provide hands-on support where needed. In short, Mike cuts through the waffle and has the conversations that need having, when they need having.

I've worked with Mike (as my Non Exec) for over 1.5 years now. I run a creative print company and felt that I needed to talk to someone about how I can take my business further. Mike came highly recommended and brings some great agency/business owner experience. Although we are more towards the manufacturing side of the creative industry he's been meticulous in working through every element of the business with me. We spend one day a month together I always come out of this feeling excited and energised about what I can do. I can genuinely say that I feel the business has been transformed since I got Mike involved and I would highly recommend his services.

Positive is a digital agency.We often work with charity, non-profit, public sector and education clients — although not exclusively.We focus 100% on effectiveness, which makes us genuinely different to most agencies. We marry strategy, UX, creative and technical to get great results for our clients — and we’re able to prove it.We’re big fans of open-source and we’re experts in Drupal, Wordpress and ModX – but we try not to limit ourselves to platforms.We’re straightforward, honest and friendly. We keep our promises, hit our deadlines, stick to the budget, and most importantly – get results.
