Business Consultancy Services for Essex and east London

Welcome to Eye Bray Limited

Expert business consultancy services for Essex and east London

Is your business facing challenges that seem tough to overcome? Or are things just not adding up the way they used to?

Running a business can be complicated and knowing where to turn for help isn’t always clear. That’s where I step in. Eye Bray Limited offers expert business consultancy services for Essex and east London.

How business development consultants are trusted partners

Let’s face it, when you’re running your business, talking to family and friends about your business pain points likely falls on deaf ears. Or even if they are listening, the advice that they give may be opinion-based rather than from experience or business acumen. Don’t put your business at risk by making poor decisions. Speak with a business development consultant who understands the business world.

How do I help? Your strategic planning consultant

As an experienced and professional strategic planning consultant, I listen to you first. I want to know about your business and understand where you are and what you believe you either need or want. I will then ask you lots of questions, some which may feel uncomfortable. But remember growth only happens outside of your comfort zone.

Through my probing and investigation, I will then provide you honest feedback and devise a strategy to achieve positive results. Then, I will educate and guide you – and your team if necessary – to reach, or even surpass, the point you believe you should be at.

I will provide you with individuality, surety, respect and a strong desire to get the best for, or out of, your business.

What’s your part?

As the business owner, your part starts simply. Be willing to view your business differently. Are you thinking, ‘well that’s so simple it can’t be everything?’ You’re right it’s not, but so many find this first bit difficult. You’re going to have to think…and think hard! This is what people like the least. Yet, what comes after it is change…

How to choose a business consultant

Business owners and entrepreneurs are not naturally drawn to the services I offer. Their passion lies in what the business does, or offers, and not the paperwork and red tape that safeguards their staff and customers. But that is what I love, and these elements ensures your business runs smoothly and thrives in the long term. This is a good start in how to choose a business consultant – someone who loves their job.

With over 40 years of experience, I understand the ins and outs of the business world. I’ve seen it all – from navigating complex regulations to helping organisations transform and adapt to new challenges. What sets me apart? A personalised approach that focuses on you. No cookie-cutter solutions, no textbook lectures. Just real, practical support designed to get your business where it needs to be. If you like the sound of me, book in a free discovery call.

Don’t get caught out by change

In today’s fast-moving world, businesses can’t afford to sit back. Just as algorithms and social media trends shift, so too do the laws and standards that govern your industry. By keeping your business up-to-date and compliant with the latest standards, I will help you stay ahead of the curve and avoid costly surprises.

From ensuring your strategy is aligned with your business goals, to improving the way you manage risk and compliance, my services are designed to simplify the complex and bring clarity to the uncertain.

Benefits of hiring a business consultant

what our clients have to say

Ian’s documents gave us a real sense of what we need to think about and as far as I can tell for the moment gives us a more than comprehensive starting point - although I could imagine there might be a few questions along the way regarding implementation. Each section is very clear but I will read through again a few more times and if anything comes up I will check with you for sure. It’s very obvious you have got to know our organisation really quickly and I much appreciate that you are making a potentially troublesome subject manageable & understandable for us.

We engaged the services of Eye Bray when we started the process of becoming GDPR compliant. Ian came to our office and expertly guided us through the process in a systematic way and with clarity which meant we understood what we were doing and why and importantly, we didn't miss anything. GDPR was a daunting prospect for us and Ian's patience with our constant questioning and his easy-to-understand answers demystified it for us. I would not hesitate to recommend Eye Bray and will most definitely work with them again in the future..

I found myself repeating what I had heard Ian saying but I didn’t quite understand how to make it work for me. Once Ian heard what my aspirations were, and how I wanted to get there, he was quickly able to explain how to make immediate simple changes that should have a massive impact. I also now know exactly how I can monitor how well I am doing with my ambitions with some really simple clear goals that I can review easily and regularly.

We called Ian to assist with navigating the sticky business of GDPR, as a small business it was quite overwhelming. With his knowledge and extreme patience he brought us all up to speed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him as he manages to make the complex very assessable’.

Ian has been a bit of a godsend. We knew we were along the right lines with the things we were doing, but he has been able to ease a few worries and provide some simple processes to keep us on the straight and narrow.

We have recently started our business and we knew we needed to put all my policies in please. Ian, from Eye Bray, took the time to listen and understand exactly what I needed. The types of documentation that were recommended were spot on, so we knew he understood what we needed. What I came away with were all the policies that would ensure I was compliant, even with a document I hadn’t even considered, all thanks to Ian’s knowledge and diligence. Ian’s communication was clear and articulate and very knowledgeable about these subjects. We couldn’t have envisaged a better result, we got great value out of the way we worked together.
