Business coaching in Hertfordshire

I have worked with SME business owners and business leaders in the UK, Middle East and Scandinavia from start-ups to companies listed on AIM. I have expertise in mergers and acquisitions, business planning and stakeholder alignment and having run businesses with between 5 and 100 people appreciate and understand the challenges that business owners face in the running of their businesses.

Since starting my TAB business in 2015, I have been inspired by what members have achieved with hard work, focus and persistence. I am proud to be helping them in their business and personal lives by leveraging my previous experience and the support, challenge and insight TAB Board Members provide to each other.

I run Boards for businesses across Hertfordshire (Hemel Hempstead, St Albans, Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield) with members from diverse sectors including manufacturing, construction, IT, professional services, facilities management, marketing and design.

Born in Hertfordshire, I live in Harpenden with my wife and 3 daughters. I enjoy golf, cycling and watching my daughters play hockey.

I love meeting new people. If you would like to explore how TAB can help you grow and develop your business, please get in touch.

Andrew Butchart is a seasoned facilitator and business coach specialising in supporting business owners in the South Herts region through The Alternative Board (TAB).

With over 25 years of experience as a business leader, Andrew has personally witnessed the triumphs and trials of entrepreneurship. He successfully founded and grew an IT consultancy and later transitioned to senior sales management and alliance roles in start-up hi-tech companies.

Passionate about sharing his wealth of personal and professional experience, Andrew dedicates himself to helping business owners improve their ventures and transform their lives for the better. At TAB, he finds the perfect avenue to fulfil this passion.

Combining entrepreneurial flair with sound business acumen, Andrew brings a unique perspective to his role as a TAB coach and facilitator. He understands that leaders at all stages of their business journey can benefit from investing time working on their business rather than merely in it. Whether you are running a newly established business or managing a renowned brand, Andrew's expertise can guide you toward growth and success.

TAB offers a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere, providing business owners with high-quality, unbiased advice. By joining one of Andrew's TAB peer boards, consisting of six non-competing business owners, members gain fresh perspectives, collective support, constructive feedback, and ongoing accountability.

Members also engage in monthly one-on-one coaching sessions with Andrew, where they collaborate to create a personal vision and develop a comprehensive action plan to achieve their business goals. From targeting business growth and strategising a successful exit to finding a harmonious work-life balance, Andrew supports business owners in discovering a more fulfilling and rewarding way of operating.

What sets TAB apart from traditional business coaches and consultants is its unique approach. TAB focuses on the business owner, incorporating personal goals and vision into shaping business strategies. Additionally, the peer board dynamic provides access to over 100 years of diverse business experience, enabling members to address commercial challenges and seize opportunities with confidence.
