Chris West - CEO, Optimus
The world is awash with “coaches” and “consultants” but very few have a real style and value add, in my humble opinion. You not only impacted my thinking about my own company but also how I view some of our investment portfolio companies. Your content was excellent, but your personal style is particularly enjoyable, thank you.
Melissa Readman - Director, ESM Investments
A true professional, Fergus was instrumental in repositioning our company.

We were delighted with the overall experience and I would highly recommend engaging Fergus to help your business achieve its full potential.

One of the best decisions I have taken in business is working with Fergus on our business growth plan and what the next few years might look like.

If you want to shift your business into the next gear I'd strongly recommend talking to Fergus. He gave us a badly needed injection of structure, vision and focus. We now have a platform for growth. Be prepared for searching questions... and.... silence... as you THINK.
Craig Hall - MD, Teviot Creative
Fergus has coached my business, and me personally for a couple of years. I can’t speak highly enough of the impact his assistance has had in terms of providing understanding and perspective, that in-turn creates focus and results.
David Gardner - Managing Partner, Eighty Days
I have fallen back in love with my business, thanks to Fergus. As someone clever once said "The definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over and hoping to get a different result". Well introducing Fergus to our team was something totally different, and 18 months later we feel a totally different business.

Fergus is an exceptional business and executive coach. We have seen a phenomenal return on our investment in coaching - you only have to look at our net profit figures over the past five years to see the transformation. Coaching isn’t a luxury, it’s an essential business tool. The great thing about it is there is no limit to what can be realised. I highly recommend you meet with Fergus.
Kaye Taylor - Owner, SK Chase
I need to recommend Fergus. He has an amazing knack of saying the right things and helping me do the right things. If your mind or your business strategy needs a boost, he will without doubt know exactly what to do in a friendly, confidential way, that does not make you feel stupid or clueless. My best investment. Give him a call.
Tony Crolla - Owner, Vittoria Group
I would wholeheartedly recommend Fergus as a Business Coach. His professionalism and expertise are outstanding and his ability to view issues from a different perspective has been invaluable to our Company. The support he provides is a benefit to any organisation.
Fiona Deas - Owner/MD, Eagle Couriers
Our decision to work with Fergus was one of the best commercial decisions we have made. I cannot recommend him enough. When we started to work together, our company was going through a lot of changes and Fergus helped us to maneuver through them in such a way that we now have a more functioning, more efficient and more profitable company.
Miriam Spiers - Owner/Director, Alliance Wine
Working with Fergus, in our business, has changed my life. I feel really lucky to have been able to work with him. I recommend you speak to him!
Charlotte Garvie - Director, Adesso Events
Fergus has been helping us make significant changes across the business. Working with him has reinvigorated myself and the team, leading to a change of positioning and strategy. Fergus doesn't tell us what to do; he helps us realise what we need to do. If that sounds wishy-washy, it really isn't in practice – and this is coming from someone who used to be cynical about coaching. Furthermore, his intelligence, humour and encouragement make the coaching process a very enjoyable one. Every ambitious, forward-thinking business needs a Fergus.
Fraser Allen - Owner/CEO White Light Media
I cannot recommend Fergus highly enough. Prior to engaging with him we were struggling to see the wood for the trees! Fergus' insightful and considered approach gave us the space, clarity and tools to recalibrate our business. The vision and structure we now have in place has re-energised our team and given us a sound platform on which to build and refine our business.
Guy Morgan - Owner, Morgan McDonnell
I liken my business of 15 yrs to a bucking bronco. 2010 was our best year financially but the effort of staying on the horse left me worn out and disillusioned. Within 6 months of engaging Fergus the horse is tamed and back on the racecourse. Fergus knows horses inside out and with his help I am now flourishing too. We are creating a lean, fit racehorse capable of going the distance. I am feeling re-energised, enjoying riding again – in fact – I am a new person. What business owner wouldn’t want that? I recommend you speak to Fergus – the horse whisperer!
Gordon Jeffrey - Owner, CEO Aqualife Services
Fergus’s support and wisdom transforms business performance, so a meeting with him may well be the best investment you make. It was for us. It’s a real challenge for business owners to decide on key advisors – so let me save you the time and trouble and recommend Fergus. He provides a platform from which to take your business and your people to new levels.
