Consultant
Lawrence Neale
An absolute genius with data, automation and real time reporting!
Lawrence, who prefers to be called Loz, is a fundamental part of every RBC project. Due to his role and skill set, you could be forgiven for thinking he is a bit of a geek, as he uses innovate tech to automate long winded data, streamlines processes improving efficiency and finds ways to make businesses more profitable. We think Loz is more of a genius as none of his services are promoted to attract business, but he is involved in every project completed. His ability to work with numerous systems and build automated dashboards is exceptional. Loz has a mixed background which is what makes him unique. Prior to becoming a consultant, Loz was the Operations Director of a big Healthcare provider which is where his commercial thinking and operational understanding was developed. The growth service RBC provides is underpinned by Loz’s ability to create transparency through automated performance reporting which makes money, while reducing time heavy processes impacting on efficiency which saves money.
Talk to Loz about how to improve your efficiency using real time performance management.

Consultant
Sara Donnelly
A PR and comms pro who can make businesses stand out in crowded markets.
With over 20 years' experience in the PR industry, Sara is a knowledgeable and astute strategic communications consultant. She's worked with a vast array of businesses, from start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs to well established national and international organisations.
Operating at a senior level for over a decade, Sara works directly with leaders and their marketing teams to provide strategic communications support, often leading strategy sessions, developing brand narrative and key messaging, PR planning and activity execution.
Delivering high quality, award-winning communications campaigns for clients, which create standout and visibility in key markets and ultimately, improve their bottom line, is Sara’s passion.
The status quo is the reason we’re here...
Because the average, the “they are doing their best”, the accepting mindset is also the least ambitious, the least rewarding and rarely rewards the effort given in time to your business.
In a world full of ‘Business Gurus’ and ‘LinkedIn Leaders’ it’s easy to be misled by 'Expert Advice', especially when you’re not sure they are an expert! Business approach is unique so what works for one won’t work for all.
That’s where we are different. We have started, built, grown and sold businesses personally and for countless customers. We’ve put in the years of hard work (18 to be exact!), earning the right to talk the talk and walk the walk.
Some consultants want to leave their mark on a business, but that’s not us. We deliver straightforward consultancy that cuts through the bullshit, spreading our influence and expertise. We achieve all goals set and then leave. Confident that we leave you and your team equipped, trained and empowered to continue the growth and ambition to succeed.
Change is difficult, scary, a step into the unknown, but necessary. It’s easy to see why change isn’t for everyone, why sometimes it’s easier to accept problems than challenge them, but you must! Change when relevant can be revolutionary and can make you millions! We can say that as we do it every day. Make the jump, take the decision to call RBC and you continue to focus on business as usual while we show you how to make it extraordinary!
