About Dave Gammon

With a corporate audit background, I work with ambitious SMEs to uncover ways of measurably improving personal and business performance.

My name is Dave Gammon and after 20 years in the corporate world, auditing all aspects of a company under detailed commercial scrutiny I decided to move into the SME market.

That was in 2004, and since then I’ve worked with growing SMEs (from £2-120m turnover) across a wide range of markets and sectors.

Breaking it down to the core offering, I help business owners and management teams to fulfil their potential. Usually this starts with a specific issue, which when picked at uncovers a wealth of opportunity through improvement and optimisation.

During my time in the corporate world I saw the best and worst of processes and culture. Combining that experience with the work I have done with a number of successful small businesses since 2004, I am in a position to deliver those best practices while avoiding toxic elements that do more harm than good.

As one client said, I’m good at cutting through the BS.

MY APPROACH

Commerciality

Business is simple. People make it complicated. Figure out how the company creates value in the market and then focus on that.

Clean Action

Get to the destination by the most direct means possible. Deal with what shows up without procrastination, distraction or dithering.

Calibration

Understanding yourself honestly and profoundly allows you to lead with confidence, resilience and influence. Leadership is not a set of skills to be taught. It’s a way of showing up.

Connection

Relationships in business are everything. Always seek to collaborate, influence and inspire others by aligning mutual outcomes.

Testimonials

Working with Dave Gammon is enjoyable for all personality types; if you’re uncomfortable discussing your own reflections on the work, Dave will find ways of unlocking ideas for you anyway, but if you engage on an intellectual level – as I did – Dave rewards this with an enhanced experience that delivers whole new areas of potential.

Dave’s Great! Always full of ideas, optimism and humour, but at the same time a level-headed businessman. I really enjoy our meetings, always get something out of them, and really appreciate the wide blend of business skills he brings to a discussion (Marketing, Financial, Operation, HR etc.). I’ve not come across a business coach with such a breadth and depth of knowledge before. I’d definitely recommend his services”

If you want something that takes on the challenges and insecurities that everyone in the SME world is dealing with, head-on, this is it. Davie is a 'real world' person, and is practical, open and honest. He has enabled me to change without even realising I had, which in turn helped me navigate the company through the turbulence of the pandemic.

Just having time to talk, understand and discuss things has been very valuable in my own development towards business and life in general. Dave is right there with you, challenging your thought processes, bringing enlightenment to your approach and sharing his hands-on experience of business, large and small. In the eight years, I have been involved with Dave, my businesses have grown from five people producing a turnover of £700k, to 45 people and £6m. Without doubt, Dave played an essential role in helping me get there and keeping me on the right trajectory.

Dave Gammon REALLY listens. He opens up new angles; he humanises any matter; he gives unexpected and wonderfully apposite, simple advice – drawn from his vast experience and holistic understanding of it. He takes into account the people involved and where they’re at now and speaks to me on just the right level. And he’s funny. I get so much out of every session or conversation with Dave.
