Frequently Asked Questions

Am I the right fit? We typically work with B2B SMEs across the East Midlands. Projects usually run between one and three months, depending on the scope of support required.

How do we start a project? We begin with an initial insight meeting to fully understand your business, objectives, and challenges. From this, we shape an outline approach, agree key deliverables, and set a clear and realistic timeframe.

What do I get? You’ll benefit from onsite, fractional director-level consultancy. Our support doesn’t stop at recommendations — we help implement solutions, guide your team, and ensure key stakeholders are aligned to support change.

Can you make introductions? Yes. Over 25+ years, we’ve built an extensive East Midlands network spanning industries including manufacturing, professional services, finance, and retail. Where relevant, we can connect you to trusted partners and opportunities.

Can I afford it? We work flexibly to fit within your budget while maximising value. Rates start at under £500 per day, depending on project scope, and we’ll agree the best approach for your business from the outset.

What outcomes can I expect? Our goal is to deliver clear, actionable results tailored to your business. Depending on your needs, outcomes may include detailed market insights, practical growth strategies, a refreshed customer targeting approach, improved sales processes, and support for navigating change internally. You’ll receive a strategic action plan designed to drive measurable progress.

What if I only need short-term support? We offer flexible, fractional consultancy that’s ideal for projects of all durations —whether you need a one-off review, interim leadership, or support over several months. There’s no long-term commitment required, so you can access expert advice as and when it’s needed.

‘Suz delivered an excellent report’

Her outstanding ability is second to none. The report allowed the business to fully understand the proposition and it's benefits and furthermore, how best to utilise her incredible knowledge and experience to drive the project forward.

Always thoroughly professional and I have no hesitation in recommending her.

‘SESC acted as our sales manager’

1284 commissioned SESC to review our marketing offer and make the suggestions that a sales manager would.

Suz looked at our customer base and advised on how we presented to existing customers. She also gave practical suggestions about approaching potential customers in new markets which we had not really considered. We went on to develop a new direct mail marketing approach which has opened a new target market for 1284.

‘SESC went above and beyond’

Mente engaged SESC to provide valuable support in creating a comprehensive research paper focusing on employee assistance products.

Suz skillfully broke down the information, including pricing details and how these products would integrate with our current range.

In addition, Suz went above and beyond by suggesting additional services that would complement our existing offerings.

Her work was exceptional and played a pivotal role in our decision to incorporate these products into our platform.
