I'm Tim Coleman — a Business Growth Specialist and Executive Coach based in South Yorkshire. I work exclusively with ambitious business owners of £5m+ SMEs who know their business has more to give, but can't quite unlock it.
With a background spanning corporate leadership, management consultancy, and more than 15 years working with the world's #1 business coaching organisation, I bring a uniquely structured, results-driven approach that combines hard commercial strategy with the human science of high performance.
My coaching is rooted in accountability and measurable ROI — not vague inspiration. Every client relationship begins with a clear baseline, defined outcomes, and a relentless drive to exceed them.
Most business owners I speak to are working harder than ever but not seeing proportionate results. If any of the below feels familiar, let's talk.
Turnover is healthy but margins are tight. You know there's money being left on the table and you can't quite pinpoint where.
When you're not there, it grinds to a halt. You're the best person in every role and can't step back without everything suffering.
You have good people but the culture, leadership systems, and accountability structures to unleash them simply aren't in place yet.
Revenue has plateaued. You've tried a few things. Nothing has quite created the step-change growth you know is achievable.
You're reactive rather than intentional. The 90-day plan either doesn't exist or gets abandoned within weeks.
Business is actually going well — but you want to scale it, systemise it, and ultimately step back with confidence and pride.
Simon Hulme, owner of S&S Signs and Graphics in South Yorkshire, was working long hours with limited delegation, inconsistent revenue, and no clear growth plan. Within 12 months of structured coaching, the business had tripled its turnover.
Through focused goal-setting, strategic planning, and building a leadership framework that enabled Simon to step back from day-to-day operations, S&S Signs achieved results that consistently exceeded every target set.

Business Growth Specialist · Executive Coach · South Yorkshire
The freedom that business ownership was always meant to create — time, financial independence, and the ability to live life entirely on your terms. I help you build a business that gives you back your liberty, not one that consumes it.
Every recommendation I make is grounded in your best interests — not in what's easy, comfortable, or popular. Integrity means telling you the truth, being accountable, and only taking you on as a client if I genuinely believe I can help you.
Growth is hard, and the path is rarely straight. Tenacity is the relentless drive to keep pushing through the obstacles, setbacks, and uncertainty — and to hold you accountable to the goals you set when you were most clear-headed about what you want.

"The transformative power of finding focus and seeking guidance from a trusted business coach has been extraordinary. My strategic collaboration with Tim has propelled me towards achieving my goals — helping me navigate challenges and seize opportunities, driving enzygo's success to new heights."
"Highly recommended — working with Tim for the last couple of years on our business has helped us grow more than we could ever have hoped. His advice and the tools he introduced us to have been invaluable. Give him a call and see what he can do for you and your business."
"As an MD, Tim has been very helpful in transforming the way I operate my business and giving me the direction that had been missing. Not only has the coaching helped me on a 1-1 basis, but having a community of other business owners through networking sessions has offered a completely different level of support and value. Highly recommend Tim."
"Tim helps me uncover the things I need to know, then shines a light on them to provide focus. This discipline helps me concentrate on the parts of the business that will drive it forward — delegating the parts that free up my time to work on priority areas. Tim is an excellent coach because he asks questions that help me grow my business."
"The coaching is fundamental and takes into consideration my personal goals. With the advice I'm getting I have the confidence to take steps that will make the business independent from me. With Tim's support I have no doubt it will be a successful implementation!"
"Tim the man who can! What a blessing he is. He's taught me things I didn't know I needed to know. If anyone is thinking of working with Tim, you should definitely go ahead — you won't regret it. Thanks to Tim our business is going from strength to strength."
