Introducing Chris Dowling...

Chris has many years of experience – he has ‘been there and done it!’ He has a lifetime of business experience, owning, strategizing, growing and running a successful family business. Chris has the business experience, knowledge and executive coaching skills you need to help you grow your business. It’s difficult to think of a business challenge or opportunity that Chris hasn’t faced and resolved for his own business or for one of his clients.

Although the best business mentoring relationship is built on proven experience and knowledge, the most essential part of your business success is you, the business owner.  That’s why Chris offers a unique consultancy and mentoring service, designed to steer you in the right direction, overcome challenges and obstacles and offer advice and guidance based on his first-hand experience. 

One of the key components to business success is learning from the challenges you face and the ways in which you manage and solve them. Challenges have to be resolved, opportunities have to be met and negatives turned into positives – all of these help drive business development and growth.
