From Purpose to Profit

"Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least" Goethe

PENNY TUNNELL, the eponymously named business consultancy was set up to help businesses define their purpose and develop the strategy for competitive advantage. With information overload and simply too much to do in the day, successful business leaders develop the skills to focus on the few things which really matter.

 

The Goethe quotation applies to all areas of life, and at PENNY TUNNELL we cut through any confusion and lack of confidence in a business to develop a compelling purpose which inspires employees in their roles, builds customer loyalty and leads to sustainable growth.

BOOK A FREE BUSINESS AUDIT

We offer a FREE business audit. You complete a simple questionnaire and we will then talk to you about your company and outline ways in which you can make it more purposeful and profitable. Almost all introductions carry on working with us, but there is no obligation to do so. We also offer more detailed paid for audits on Brand & Marketing, Financial Awareness and Sales Efficiency. We love to hear from new businesses so do get in touch.

    THE RETAIL ARENA

    Penny Tunnell and her colleagues have worked for more than 25 years in the retail environment. The expertise available to our clients is very broad and includes every step of developing and growing a great brand. We help you define concepts and customers for both B2B and B2C, and support your growth ambition to trade profitably online and in ‘bricks & mortar’.

    We often start with a new retail or wholesale client by doing a Business and Market Review, which will include specific ‘quick wins’ and long term strategies. This gives a renewed focus and energy to the client and we are usually then asked to support implementation of the plans.

    ABOUT US

    The company was founded in 2012 by me, Penny Tunnell, to fill a gap in the coaching and consulting field for smaller businesses. I kept hearing that what business owners and managers want is support from an expert which blends Strategic Thinking with Implementation. We now work with companies of all sizes from start-ups to multi-nationals but our own purpose is always the same; to help as much with the HOW as with the WHY and the WHAT of a business plan. We roll up our sleeves, or call in experts from our pool of highly professional, trained, skilled technicians, service providers, and coaches.

    We are there to ensure what needs doing, gets done; what we deliver to our clients is both strategy and action for profitable growth.
