Questions owners actually ask

Structured, regular working sessions built around your numbers and a 90-day plan — not motivational chats. Your coach reviews your figures before every session, one real problem gets worked each time, decisions are minuted and actions carried forward until done. See the Fellside Method for the full arc.

One-to-One coaching is £850/month, the Boardroom is £495/month, Kickstart 90 is £2,950 one-off, workshops from £95 — all plus VAT, all on the pricing page. No 12-month tie-ins on coaching; three months’ notice either way.

A consultant does the work for you and leaves with the know-how. A coach builds the discipline in you and your team, so it stays. We’re deliberately the second kind — though our coaches’ operator backgrounds mean sessions get very specific, very quickly.

Coaching is unregulated in the UK, which is why voluntary accreditation matters. Fellside is an EMCC organisational member; individual coaches hold EMCC (Practitioner/Senior Practitioner), ICF (ACC/PCC) and ILM Level 5–7 credentials — listed on each coach’s page — alongside the thing we hired them for: having run real companies.

Yes. Around a third of clients are coached fully remotely, from Carlisle to Lincoln. Boardroom groups and workshops are in-person at Blossom Street; one-to-one coaching works either way.

Pricing and cash moves usually show within a quarter; structural changes (managers, delegation, owner hours) take two to four. Clients who implement average +31% net profit within 18 months — client-reported, and dependent on you actually doing the actions between sessions.

We say so first. Coaching is rolling-monthly with three months’ notice, and the 90-day review exists precisely to ask "is this paying for itself?" out loud. A coaching relationship kept alive by politeness helps nobody.

No. Fees are flat, published and invoiced monthly. We have no stake that could bend the advice.

Yes — several One-to-One engagements alternate owner sessions with leadership-team sessions, and the First Five Hires workshop runs in-house. It’s scoped at the Survey Session.
