Blue Sky Financial Planning Ltd

01202 756560

https://www.blueskyfp.co.uk/

Blue Sky inspires company owners and directors to operate their personal wealth management strategies with a level of engagement similar to the focus on their company’s finances. In our vast experience, so many are dialled into their business metrics, but they and their families are often an afterthought when it comes to their personal wealth. We guide such people through their transition towards exit and help them understand what their numbers are. Just like a business plan, knowing your number is essential. How much do you need and when? The difference is when it’s focused on the individual, its about living the life they want with confidence, that they’ll never run out of money. In our experience, the majority wait until they have been “dealt a hand” and then react. Those that embrace financial modelling, alongside mentorship are more fulfilled, less concerned, and more willing to enjoy their money whilst they have good health. Come and see us at our stand and a discounted initial engagement fee will be available. Successful companies plan effectively and the same goes for successful individuals.

Golden Catalyst Limited

www.goldencatalyst.co.uk

Most people want good relationships. When that doesn't happen, its not because they are broken or 'rubbish' at relationships and communication. They just have perspectives and behaviours that aren't serving them. I help leaders and their teams to navigate working relationships more positively and confidently. I run in person, ‘screen free’ workshops where teams talk to each other about who and how they are in a positive, interactive and fun environment and take positive steps to improve their interactions. My workshops have been described as unexpectedly therapeutic. I spent more than 20 years In Human Resources, understand the politics that often get in the way of honest dialogue and can navigate that sensitively.

Yammayap

01202 927794

https://www.yammayap.com

Yammayap builds software that you cannot buy off the shelf. We work with growing organisations who feel the strain of success. More customers. More projects. More data. But also more spreadsheets, more workarounds and more uncertainty about what is really happening inside the business. Most companies respond by adding another tool. Another subscription which means another layer. We take a different approach. We help leadership teams step back and understand how their operations actually function today. Where information flows, where it stalls, where profit leaks and where risk hides. Only then do we design and build tailored software around the reality of the organisation, not a generic template. The result is a single, coherent platform built specifically for how that business runs with clear workflows, accurate reporting and joined-up data. This leads to fewer manual interventions and it supports stronger decision-making. If growth has started to feel messy, we build the system that makes it manageable again.
