MDs/ CEOs/ Business Owners
Build your 2027 business growth plan in just two days with expert guidance, zero guesswork and no distractions.
Turn your out of office on and join us in the countryside for strategy planning, leadership focus, marketing and business growth expertise.
As seen in…
You say business is going well, but behind the scenes, you're exhausted, firefighting, and stuck in the weeds.
You work longer hours for less money, make every decision, and still feel like you're winging it.
Your team tries, but you carry the weight. Clients praise you, yet sales fall short.
You're not lazy or clueless, you’re just trapped in the chaos.
You don’t have to keep doing it alone.
Join us for a two day intense leadership retreat and start turning it around.

About your speakers…
What’s the point of building a successful business if it leaves you with no time to enjoy it?
Gary King has spent more than 30 years working in and with high-growth businesses, helping ambitious business owners and leaders achieve better results while creating more time, more money and more choice.
But his approach comes from personal experience. In the early years of running his own business, Gary found himself working into the early hours, doing expenses and missing his son’s football matches simply to keep on top of everything.
Having transformed both his business and his lifestyle, Gary now runs three successful businesses and uses that experience to help other entrepreneurs build businesses that give them greater freedom - rather than simply demanding more from them.
Through straight-talking advice, practical strategy and focused planning, you’ll start creating a business that delivers better results without sacrificing the life you’re building it for.
Expect clarity, challenge and a practical plan to help you create more time, more money and more choice.
Marketing to stand out and stay ahead of the competition.
Clare Marie Taylor is an award-winning marketing expert and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, with a career spanning global brands, diverse industries, and entrepreneurial ventures.
Starting out with household name Hotpoint, she mastered the art of understanding customers and building strong brands long before the digital era transformed marketing.
Today, as a respected consultant and marketing mentor, she empowers business owners, senior leaders, and marketing teams to achieve impactful growth.
Her experience covers both B2B and B2C sectors, giving her a rare breadth of insight into how brands connect and succeed.
Passionate about creativity and innovation, Clare also launched her own activewear brand, Stretch & Burn, fulfilling her long-held ambition to create, grow, and lead a business from the ground up.
Her sessions blend strategic know-how with real-world inspiration, leaving audiences energised and equipped to take action.
What does it take to perform at the highest level when the pressure is on?
Chris Cook knows.
A Double Olympian and Double Commonwealth Champion, Chris spent nearly a decade representing Great Britain in swimming, competing against the very best in the world.
Since retiring from international sport, Chris has taken the lessons learned in the pool into the world of business, inspiring more than 400,000 people to rethink their approach to performance, leadership and success.
At the Leaders Retreat, Chris will share his powerful '2 Lengths of the Pool' philosophy, exploring how simplifying your thinking, cutting through distractions and focusing on what really matters can transform the way you lead and perform.
Through stories from his Olympic journey, practical mindset tools and interactive discussion, Chris will challenge you to think differently about achieving your goals.
Expect inspiration, fresh perspectives and practical techniques you can take straight back into your business.
