Success Stories
Here is just a selection of the comments we have received from the people we’ve worked with:
“We worked with Patrick to help develop our strategic plan and found his clear, direct approach very refreshing and most beneficial – we would certainly consider working with him again”
Thomas Vollrath, Managing Director, Webfusion www.webfusion.co.uk
“Dr. Patrick White’s Business Growth Course provided us not only with sound business advice but with extremely practical steps that, when put in practice, contributed significantly to 100% increase in business growth in 12 months. Characteristically, Patrick cuts through the bull and delivers a ton of real world information, structural analysis and actual planning in deft good humour, invigorating and inspiring the entrepreneur with real world experience (that is often delivered second hand by others). In my experience, Patrick walks the walk, and delivers a damned fine talk into the bargain.”
Richard Philpot, ZOOID Pictures Ltd, www.zooid.co.uk
“We have been working with Patrick and the SME Academy for the past 5 years. Their training, mentoring and advice forms an integral part of our growth strategy and the deployment of a coaching, PDP and training programme by Patrick and Hannah is a key component of any business plan we invest in. Team members have voted Hannah’s NLP courses their favourite course and Patrick’s board meeting attendance and mentoring is a valued by all our senior management. Over the years we’ve learnt to think beyond the daily battle for survival in early stage businesses and to think strategically about the cultures and values we want to convey and to train our teams accordingly – all thanks to the SME Academy.”
Jules Pancholi, Managing Director, Nitro Ventures Ltd, www.nitro-ventures.com
“I have worked with Hannah past three years and she has provided excellent and first class service to my clients… I can highly recommend her services!”
Sari Virtanen, Skills Broker, Train to Gain, www.traintogain.gov.uk
“The coaching enabled me to learn a lot about myself, in the work place and my personal well-being. I was able to put things into perspective and realise what is important to me and not dwelling on what I might be doing wrong, feeling guilt, anger and uncertainty. My colleagues recognised that every time I came back from a session a new confidence had developed and a calmer disposition. I am much more proactive instead of reactive. I’ve got my priorities right. I have also appreciated the practical tools that I can use on a daily basis. For me, the training was a very positive experience that came at exactly the right time. My thanks to Hannah for being so patient and putting me at ease so I felt comfortable talking to her.”
B.H., Operations Manager, London
“Working with Patrick White has been most enjoyable and his effortless approach is clearly supported by years of considerable real-world experience. This has proven invaluable to Vangelis developing and transforming itself to not only remain competitive but grow as well.”
Bretos Margetis, Managing Director, Vangelis Solutions Managed Support Services www.vangelis-solutions.co.uk
“I would also like to say to Patrick a huge well done on what I felt was a truly motivational day that will spur me into action. The day was the right mix of practical working, listening and learning, and I felt it was truly value for money. The tools will be useful, and I have already scheduled regular review sessions into my diary to work on my business not in it. I will certainly recommend Patrick to all my business associates.
Michael Gottlieb – The Smart Information Consultancy Ltd
“Patrick is an inspired speaker, he is patient and indulgent in sharing his experience and wryly restrained when inflicting his wit!”
Andre Rostant
“Having a small group in the class was a real positive as with Patrick’s guidance meant that we could easily discuss OUR issues rather than just going through a curriculum. Having said that the course notes and tools have become an invaluable asset to my management of the business.”
David Stanton Director – Admiral Voice and Data, www.admiral-group.com/
“Hi Patrick,
Thanks very much for your session today, I found it really useful. Thanks also for offering to send me the Excel sheets with the tools you gave us, I’m looking forward to getting them. And what a great idea of yours to ask others to fill them in so I get their perspective, I will definitely do this.
That was a really nice touch to ask the other delegates to give me their reaction to my alternative Vision statements; it left me in no doubt which one to choose. Your customer focus is very apparent, you walk the talk. Thanks again.”
Peter Tattersall Managing Director – Tattersall Training Ltd, www.tattersalltraining.com/
“First of all, it was a pleasure to meet you and all the other members in the course. It was a pleasure to listen to your Business experience and I really enjoyed your positive attitude towards Business and life! I spent the last 2 weeks on course taking in as much as possible and it has been a great experience. I have come back re-energized and full of new ideas and plan on implementing them soon.”
Margaret Ann Al-Kawari – Qatar Petroleum, www.qp.com.qa

“Hannah McNamara has the ability to make her 1 to 1 coaching sessions challenging, enjoyable and to your surprise you find that you have the answers within your self.”
Jean Carpenter, Director, young people’s charity
“Hannah is a talented listener who coaches the answers from within your self. She helped me to get clarity on the person who I wish to be – both personally and professionally. She has a strong business background and gave me sound advice regarding some very important life changing negotiations that I was involved in at the time.”
Paul Andrews, Sales Director
“Hannah, while very personable was also extremely professional in every interaction. It has taught me that there are more subtle ways to achieve what we need as a business and I need as an individual than a full frontal assault, all guns blazing. I think I am a better manager and I am definitely a better leader and comments colleagues and friends have made confirm this.”
Simon Davis, Managing Director, CRM Software Company
“Hannah is an insightful person and can easily translate and communicate (a rare talent) her business experience into practical guidelines for other businesses to adopt.”
Alissa Lang, Business Development Director, Vircom, www.vircom.co.uk
“Hannah McNamara was excellent at guiding (us) … through the various options that should be considered from our individual perspectives, setting achievable marketing goals, explaining the pitfalls and marketing terminology, so that a firm direction could be set and developed in the future. The day definitely helped me fill in a few of the gaps in our own marketing strategy, and helps the options we can put forward to others too. If the opportunity arises, this is definitely worth attending, I thoroughly recommend!
Michael Mursell – Managing Director

Donna Hubbard, Business Link London, www.bllondon.co.uk
“I have had the opportunity to work with Hannah this year for a series of 1:1 business coaching sessions. Hannah has been a great help in enabling me to ensure my time is used effectively and learning the art of delegation! I have been able to put in place new initiatives for the business and put ideas into action and I would highly recommend Hannah for anyone who needs a little push in the right direction!”
Emma Villa, Managing Director, Jelly & Custard Ltd, www.jellyandcustard.co.uk
“Hannah is a bundle of energy and dynamism. I admire her hugely as she has great vision, works extremely hard and is very creative and enterprising in all she does. She is a fantastic networker too and willI predict that her company is one to watch. Her book will help others to market themselves well, something she is a natural at and she is excellent at on-line marketing. If you are a small business especially, her company can provide all the key trainings and at good value prices to enable your business to achieve growth fast.” Rachel Brushfield, Energise, www.liberateyourtalent.com
“I have know Hannah for a number of years now and have seen the excellent results she achieves in her business. I can highly recommend her and her drive and ambition are tireless.” Alyson Roach, Managing Director, The Snippet Ltd, www.thesnippet.net
“When I approached Hannah for marketing coaching, I was someone who had virtually no marketing knowledge. I had heard her speak prior to this at a coaching seminar and was very impressed with her expertise. Hannah’s approach was professional and friendly, as I expected. What I hadn’t expected was just how challenging her questions would be – which focused me on exactly the areas I needed to address. Hannah is generous with her knowledge and I would recommend her (and her book) to anyone who wants to see real results quickly.” Susan Prime
“I met Hannah at the October NLP conference, and I was impressed by the clarity and individuality of her approach to marketing. I have radically changed my attitude towards marketing since that prsentation, and its bedginning to reap rewards. Thank you Hannah” Jay ( Jill ) Wigmore-Welsh
“My thanks to Patrick who played a ‘blinder’ as they say on the day! As a trainer, I don’t normally enjoy a day that isn’t highly interactive but apart from the odd moment or two when I found my attention wandering, I was fully engaged and found Patrick’s delivery style warm, friendly and engaging.”
