Leamington business coach wins three awards in as many months

The business coach from ActionCOACH Warwick was crowned Coach of the Year for the Central Midlands region at the business coaching firm’s UK awards.

But the excitement for Kevin’s team didn’t stop there, as he was then announced as the overall UK Growth Coach award – out of over 200 coaches nationwide.

Since the first lockdown, Kevin and his team have dedicated their time to business owners across Warwickshire and Oxfordshire to help negotiate the challenges thrown their way by the pandemic.

With his business coaching sessions, including those he gifted to over 750 local companies, he has provided a lifeline to many businesses across the region.

It is amazing to see the determination, passion and willpower shine through in the business owners that I coach,” said Kevin.

“That’s what really makes it worth it. Receiving these awards is the icing on top of the cake.”

These two awards follow his win at the 2020 bfa HSBC Franchise Awards in November, where he was hailed as the Community Hero. ]

Celebrating the shining stars across the UK who have given back tremendously to their communities, Kevin clinched the title with almost 700 votes, over 100 more than his fellow finalists.

His impact has evidently been felt across the region, and one particular business that has benefitted massively from Kevin’s coaching is The Little Gin Company.

Founded in 2015, The Little Gin Company was born out of friendship between business owners Nicola Tavener and Emma Bishop and their love for gin.

When March’s lockdown posed a threat to their events-based business, they reached out to Kevin for help.

In January 2021, their turnover had increased by 150%, with a 300% increase in gross profit and a staggering 800% increase in net profit.

They are confident that these results are due to Kevin’s support.

“Kevin has helped us to really understand our potential, through many inspiring/motivational conversations, crunching numbers, improving our processes, consistently measuring what we are delivering and achieving and, at times, offering some brutal honestly that we really need to hear!

Kevin helps us to be accountable for how we continue to push forward and grow the business, even in these challenging times.”

Although there’s still a way to go before we see the end of the pandemic, Kevin is confident that 2021 will be a prosperous year for businesses large and small.
