Elliot Rich
Natalie Rich
I felt I had made a success of growing my business from start-up to employing 100 people after 10 years, but that I needed something more to help me take it to the next level. Being a member of TAB has given me an external perspective from both my fellow board members and 1:1 coaching sessions which I was missing before. With their help I am better equipped to achieve the ambitions I have for my business. If you are anything like me you will quickly begin to see TAB as an investment in yourself and your business.
Running a business is a challenge, but today's new problem is something someone else has already dealt with. This week's craziness is next week’s learning, and tomorrow’s insight is sometimes the inspiration another needs. So it's about being part of a community that can share, support, guide and celebrate. We are all individuals, but together we are strong. Elliot has demonstrated his expertise and experience throughout the years I have known him via The Alternative Board. He provides carefully considered advice, support, impetus, and always an ability to listen without judgment. He exhibits excellent professional skills and business insights; more importantly, he cares about the entrepreneurs he works with and the success of both their businesses and their personal goals. Running a business is an often lonely, complex, and challenging endeavour. Through good times and tough times, Elliot has been there.
As I stepped into my new MD role, Elliot and TAB came highly recommended to assist, advise and help me through this transition. Elliot has become an integral part of my business and circle of trust. Elliot offers a progressive balance between coaching, mentoring, teaching and challenging that has helped me move strategic initiatives forward in a more balanced, comprehensive and effective manner. Elliot supported me in clarifying my focus and challenged me to develop new ways to lead people, encouraging better interaction with my peers and staff. He has also supported my personal development and my business plans. Elliot always offers frank, independent, neutral advice that is often difficult to find inside one's own workplace. He is my conscience and mentor, and he keeps me on track and accountable.
Since working with Natalie and Elliot Rich from TAB York, my business performance has greatly benefited. The monthly peer boards and 1-2-1 coaching has been invaluable in developing my business strategy, leadership skills, and long-term sustainability. The thoughtful onboarding process, flexible membership terms, and supportive peer group have exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend giving TAB a try.

Dec 2025. Champagne moments awarded at the TAB York Festive event. It was a powerful moment seeing peers from across the TAB Boards genuinely rooting for them. Business leaders who understand the journey, offering encouragement, challenge, and support around the table. it’s rarely the scale of the achievement that stands out; it’s the intention behind it (and having the right people beside you while you get there).

It was great to see a mix of new members alongside those who’ve been part of TAB for years.
