Ruth Badger
Director
A sales legend who is a force to be reckoned with but can grow any business!

Ruth founded RBC in 2006 after leaving BBC One’s The Apprentice. Almost 20 years on she heads up the Growth area which is her true passion as she loves working with business owners helping them improve, grow and sell. Not your average consultant in method or manner, Ruth has an incredible ability to grow businesses by removing issues, driving sales, building teams, implementing strategies while coaching and transferring her knowledge to everyone around her. She has run, bought and sold her own businesses so understands firsthand the stress but excitement of what owning a business can bring. Working on her theory of “Activity leads to Revenue” and “Transparency leads to focus and focus delivers growth”, Ruth is adamant that she can improve any business if the owner is brave enough and up for the challenge.

Lawrence Neale
Consultant
An absolute genius with data, automation and real time reporting!

Lawrence, who prefers to be called Lozz, is a fundamental part of every RBC project. Prior to becoming a consultant, Lozz 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 Lozz’s ability to create transparency through automated performance reporting which makes money, while reducing time heavy processes impacting on efficiency which saves money.

Lozz is a very rare combination of skill-sets! He is a genius with automation and data, as well as having a real commercial focus and understanding. This means he not only knows how to identify and fix problems, but he also knows how to leverage them to make more money for RBC clients.

Lozz has also many years’ experience working in financial services, but since joining forces with RBC, he has been predominantly working with data specific holiday parks.  He’s completed projects focused on operations, reservations, holiday home sales, dynamic pricing, customer analysis and KPIs to name a few!

You will be hard pushed to meet anybody who has a better understanding of data in this market and how it can all link together. The results are exceptional and always have an impact on the bottom line.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It...

RBC delivered some fantastic management training for us at Lady’s Mile Holiday Park. The expertise, engaging delivery, and practical insights have significantly enhanced our senior management team’s skills. The sessions were interactive, relevant, and tailored to our specific needs, making the entire experience incredibly valuable and usable, unlike generic ‘tick-box’ training. I have, and will continue to, recommend RBC for anyone wanting to invest in and improve their managers skills.

Cerys Cross Lady’s Mile Holiday Park, HR Manager

We have used RBC to deliver all of our company training since 2014. Over the years they have delivered Holiday Home Sales, Reservations and Customer Experience training which has always been well received by our team and has definitely impacted on our growth over the last 11 years. The way in which they train makes the most impact as its fun, fast paced and has a real understanding of our industry and how we operate. They are our trainer of choice and I would highly recommend them if you want training that impacts on growth.

Nicola Furneaux Beverley Holidays, Owner and Director

We recently took part in a two-day sales training course with Fiona and Julie, and we couldn’t be more pleased. They were both incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and packed so much valuable information into the sessions, all while keeping it fun and engaging for the whole team. The training helped us identify and play to our strengths, while also giving us practical ways to improve in areas we needed to develop. We’re already seeing the positive impact on the business, and we’re so glad we took part.
