People Do Business
About me
With over 20 years of working for the boss across a number of sectors, from mail order to local search to retail insight, I specialise in bringing businesses together, both big and small, and help open those doors. Many companies have wonderful products and I want to help them get in front of the right people by offering my services.
To date People Do Business has worked with, amongst others, go-on, a leading digital charity helping small business get online. I am currently working on a number of other projects across the location, mapping and retail sectors.
Services
Whatever the stage of your business PDB can help with any or all of the below 3 areas:
- Open the door
- Present the proposition
- Close the deal
I am all about people and here at People Do Business my aim is to help those people come together and "do" the deal. In my mind communication and service is at the heart of every good business deal.
Some simple rules I follow when conducting business:
- Always ask for a person's time, never take it
- Always be efficient and responsive with your communication
- Always look after the prospect/client, if you serve someone well they will always remember you when they need you - NEVER sell and forget!
Through my extensive network of industry contacts that I have developed, I am well positioned to carry out product research from a sought-after audience offering invaluable feedback and insight.
Clients
"Ollie worked with Go ON UK on a joint initiative with the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills to develop a proposition that attracted large Corporates to support the Government's Digital Skills capability programmed for SME's. He provided valuable insight and expertise and exceeded expectation."
Gary Coyle |
"Ollie understands the importance of local. He has been instrumental in us building the NavAds brand in London. The UK is a difficult market as we work with a reseller model as well, and the risk of cannibalization is high. Cross channel management is definitely his forte. Besides this, he is a great guy to be around."
Robert Bruil |
"Ollie's work is very thorough and he is able to work flexibly and independently, which has been important in his consultancy to Stormlit. I would highly recommend Ollie to others in this role."
Norman Stone |
"Ollie joined the inkspot team on 8 days a month in the summer of 2015. Since then he has proved himself to be reliable and flexible with an enthusiasm which is paramount when building a business like ours. He's keen, full of ideas and always willing to help out while remaining focused on delivering the best service to the customer."

The way I work
I offer flexibility in both time and location. From a few hours to months I am always interested in discussing how we can work together. I am fully set up to work from my home office or I can quite easily attend the client's office. Clients will also find that proposals are always scalable.
