• Welcome to Darryl Bannon Consulting

    • Why small can be good

      Consulting can be associated with drawn out scoping exercises and fee generating activities, which do not necessarily add value for you. I have set up my consultancy services to focus on delivering value in a flexible and ethical way.  

       

      With over 20 years professional experience, varying in many different sectors, including time at a top 4, I am a FCCA accountant and a MBA- I feel I have gained invaluable experience as a result.

       

      For a friendly and ethical approach do get in touch to see how I can help.

      Your time is precious

      I want to make sure you focus on your priorities. My services are to fill gaps, and to help ensure that you have more time to focus on- strategy, sales and growth.

      Involve Your People

      Sometimes your staff want the opportunity to be part of the change, or may want to develop new skills. I would prefer to collaborate with your people. It can be cost effective and morale boosting.

    • Three Pillars of Service

      Choose what works for you

      Fresh pair of Eyes

      When you need only a few hours or a few days to get an objective opinion:

      • Facilitating team work shops
      • Strategic planning
      • Transformation planning
      • Back office review
      • Developing your investor decks
      • You just need a sounding board

      House in order

      When you need to get focused and target an area of your business:

      • Organisational scaling
      • Business planning
      • Time management
      • Business process review
      • Project Management
      • Change management
      • Interim or part time finance director

      Self Help

      When you want to build your own internal capabilities:

      • Leadership training and coaching
      • Team building to harness your teams talents
      • Bespoke training design
      • Resource and recruitment planning
      • Role design and skills gap analysis

      Sector Experience

      Some things are universal and a fresh pair of eyes from a completely different industry could be invaluable. However, if looking for sector specific, I have worked in Financial services, Retail, FMCG, Tech start up, Media, fashion and Public Sector.

    • Small Business Clinic

      360 business review

      I work with small businesses to developing their business infrastructure to focus on profit. This doesn't require endless meetings, but instead a day or two to review the current business and examine not just the finance side but also, marketing, IT, operations and HR.

       

      By strategically reviewing the business in a friendly and non-judgemental way, owners can take a much needed opportunity to take a step back and plan for the future.

      Mentoring and idea generation

      I have found through mentoring for Start up loans and advising at events such as Pure, businesses need a fresh pair of eyes to trigger and encourage new ideas.

       

      It is not about reinventing the wheel, but instead, exploring techniques to spot new markets, customers and opportunities. Meeting can be for as little as one hour and can be done in person or over Skype.
