A 1:1 business mentoring programme with Tom Lebor that systemises your business, so it is in a place where it can scale.
Organisations Tom has worked with
Sound familiar?
Here's the truth: no one tells you how to run a business, so you make it up as you go. This programme fixes that: clear roles and standards, processes your team actually follows, and a management rhythm that lifts productivity without you chasing it.
Case studies
Creative agencyThe challenge: Growing fast, wrong people in the wrong seats, no repeatable new business process
"Tom helped me to double the revenue of my business through our sessions, helping me to put the right people in the right seats and create an effective new business engine."Founder, Sprint Creative
Occupational therapyThe challenge: A senior team heavily reliant on the founder, with no route to stepping back from the day to day
"Tom's sessions really made me think and reflect, both strategically for business growth and for my own personal goals. In month one I said I ultimately wanted to work three days a week and within 6 months this has been confirmed. Myself and my Co-Director now focus on strategy and finance, and all other areas of the business are distributed."Director, Manchester Occupational Therapy Services
Clinical servicesThe challenge: Growing demand with no guarantee the team, pricing and feedback loops could hold service quality
"In the last 8 months working with Tom, we have put in place the foundations for growth: ensuring we have the right team and feedback loops in place, so we can sustain the high quality of service we pride ourselves on as we grow. With his help we've increased our prices, increased our lead conversion rate and are now focusing on the two levers that drive our success, sales and recruitment."Founder & Clinical Director, Physio Matters
A client journey
"When I first met Tom, I was literally in tears on Zoom to him, and ready to quit as CEO. Some of my team were being actively difficult, even spreading rumours about me. Worse, because the team wasn't good enough I was extremely busy, constantly drawn into the day to day to re-do work that wasn't of the standard I expect.
Tom got me to think hard about what I wanted and, following some soul searching, helped me find the resolve to tackle the challenges ahead.
He talked me through the importance of building the right team and then, using a decision making framework, we moved the wrong people on and invested in recruitment to find great people. It was a difficult time, but I felt supported throughout.
Just six months later I have a great team around me, including an exceptional operations manager, which means I don't get involved in the day to day and can focus on strategy again. I'm also exercising again and spending time with my partner. I am excited about the future!"

What founders say
"They audited our fundraising operation, met the key people, analysed the KPI data and gave us clear recommendations. We implemented them and the operation went on to be more successful."
"I had a couple of problem issues I had been procrastinating on for years. They finally got actioned within a couple of weeks."
"To say the last few months have been a whirlwind is an understatement. I blame Tom! In a fantastic way. Thanks so much Tom for all your guidance, words of wisdom, time and above all allowing me a safe place to get some support."
"It's difficult to put into words just how much of an impact Tom has made to my agency. He has been the driving force I have needed to organise my operations in a logical and analytical manner, making it possible for me to get a clearer view of exactly how the business is running and where I need to focus my energy."
"Tom's structured learning content is clear, digestible and actionable each week, and I genuinely look forward to sharing progress with him. His enthusiasm and encouragement is always motivating."
"Focusing on where I was spending my time has enabled me to be far more judicious. Relatable concepts applied to everyday problems, and worth the investment."
"Bespoke, analytical and practical. It framed what is important to me as a leader and how to use that to strengthen my organisations."
The programme
Not a course, not group coaching. You work one to one with Tom in person in Manchester, building the team structure, standards and processes your business needs to grow without you in every decision.
The investment
No long tie in, no hidden extras. Both options include a full day with Tom each month. Most founders choose Scale for the weekly accountability.
For smaller teams getting the basics right.
For £2M+ businesses with a leadership team to build.
Meet your mentor
Tom has spent 20+ years starting, scaling and leading businesses. He's been in the seat you're sitting in: the cashflow wobble, the difficult hire, the culture that drifts the moment you take your eye off it.
As an approved delivery partner for the GM Business Growth Hub in Greater Manchester, Tom has mentored dozens of founders through the exact stage you're at, and out the other side. He works with a maximum of 8 clients at a time, in person, so the depth is real.
Is this for you?
Tom works with a maximum of 8 founders at a time. If this sounds like you, the strategy call is the next step.
What happens on the call
The 30 minute strategy call is genuinely useful whether we end up working together or not. Here's exactly what to expect.
We map your team, your processes and what's draining your week. Honest picture, no judgement.
If the next year goes well, what does the team, the output and your own week look like? We get specific.
Tom will tell you straight which processes, roles or standards he'd fix first, and what he'd leave alone, based on what's worked across hundreds of similar businesses.
You leave with a sharper plan. If the programme is a fit, we'll talk about it. If it isn't, Tom will tell you that too.
Common questions
There are two options: Foundations at £1,500 a month and Scale at £2,500 a month. Both include a full day with Tom each month; Scale adds a weekly one hour Zoom for accountability and coaching. If a minimum of £1,500 a month isn't right for you yet, this programme won't be either.
No. Tom works with B2B and B2C founder led businesses. The problems we fix, people, culture, quality and operations, are the same either way.
On Scale, yes: a one hour Zoom every week for accountability, coaching and a catch up on progress. On Foundations the work happens in your full day together each month, and you run the actions with your team in between.
Yes. Tom only takes on 8 clients at a time, so the call is genuinely about whether there's a fit. You'll leave with a sharper plan either way.
Monthly sessions run in person in Greater Manchester. The strategy call can be in person or on video, whichever suits you.
Most clients make meaningful changes inside the first 60 days, from leadership structure to standards and process. The compounding effect on profit and your own time typically lands in months 6 to 12.
One honest conversation about your team, your processes and where the time is going. You'll leave with a clearer plan, whether we end up working together or not.
