Helping you see
more clearly

When you're at the centre of your business, it's sometimes hard to step back and see the whole picture.

You see the day-to-day, the details, the challenges as isolated problems.

Did you know that 71% of UK businesses don't make it past year three and 30% beyond ten years. However, in both instances, it's rarely because they weren't good enough.*

This is where we come in.

We help you see and spot the golden threads — the story that got your business started and what will help you continue to grow.

Your brand story. Your business advantage.

Hi, I’m Simon

I've always been passionate about how businesses engage with customers and build value from those relationships.

Although my career began as a graphic designer, my interest in business led me into more client-facing roles—my first being selling BT ads. Interestingly, it was pitching to those businesses that inspired my own entrepreneurial journey.

I set up an events print company that I ran for 20 years. It was a privileged and unique, though tough, experience that later became the foundation for CompellingStory.

I continued my sales career in the print sector, but with a marketing focus that appealed to the creative in me.

My clients were sales and marketing teams, and it was here that I witnessed first-hand the power of storytelling in business—and the struggles of companies that overlooked it.

That's when the entrepreneur in me grew frustrated: I wanted to help, but it was outside the scope of my role.

And so, CompellingStory was born—to help businesses create the kind of customer relationships that drive real competitive advantage.
