Robert Pocock is widely experienced in providing support services to clients in rapidly changing situations. He built solid experience through commercial banking, business consultancy and, most importantly, a decade of “doing it himself.” Operating as a full time hands-on Commercial and Group Finance Director for two well known South West businesses, Robert spent five years at each, quadrupling profits at the first to over £1m before selling it for £25.6m, and growing the other from sales of £5m to £50m, seeing the business become one of the UK's fastest growing and multi-award winning companies. That experience provides him with an ability to make rapid assessments and a genuine understanding of the many pressures that bear down on small, medium and large businesses as they seek to develop into larger stable enterprises. As you would expect, he knows the balance between commercial enterprise, innovation and the financial planning and controls necessary to drive a business towards success, and the hurdles likely to be encountered en route.
