Paul Winterbottom

I started my TAB business in Manchester West in May 2014, because of the enjoyment I got from working closely with SME business owners previously. When I learned about TAB’s Business Owner Advisory Boards, and spoke to owners already benefiting from that support in other parts of the country, it didn’t seem right that Manchester was missing out!

Since establishing my first Board I have seen at first hand the value and benefit members derive, and the support, challenge and insight they provide to each other. I’m really enjoying working closely with my members, leveraging the experience I have built up working closely with SMEs over 20 years, and seeing the difference TAB has made to their businesses and in their personal lives.

I’m now running three local boards in Manchester West, and my members include a wide spectrum of business sectors including on-line retail, wholesaling, bespoke software development, construction, distribution and professional services. You can read testimonials from some of those members below.

In 2016, 2017 and 2018 I was awarded TAB’s UK Facilitator of the Year.

What others say...

I’ve been working with Paul as a business mentor for nearly 3 years, and as I look back at the issues we’ve covered, I can see areas of the business that have transformed from dysfunctional to high performing. Whilst there is still lots of work to do and areas to improve, my approach to a monthly board has changed from “HELP!!!!” to “What do you think of…”
As a sole owner director of a business it’s hard to find someone to turn to that can appreciate your concerns and challenges. Your partner, your team, your friends will all have their opinion, but rarely one that has your business’s best interest at heart. Paul and my peers challenge my thinking and give me accountability, as well as a fresh pair of eyes.
Adrian Hancock, Clear Visual Communications
“I first met Paul in early 2015 and he introduced me to The Alternative Board. It is no exaggeration to say that this was a turning point in my professional life.
The support that I received from Paul and the other members of our board was a key element in the improvement of our business. TAB helped us to define our company vision; to set goals; to plan strategies to achieve those goals and most importantly for me – to not let me off the hook if I was slacking!
It is not easy being a small business owner, but Paul and the rest of the TAB team make it much easier.”
Tyler Lappage, Nabarro Poole
“Working with Paul through The Alternative Board (TAB) has completely transformed my approach to running the business. From the 1-2-1 coaching sessions to the monthly board meetings with other business owners, Paul’s input and professional approach has helped my business mature from a small “friends and family” operation to a well-structured and strategically sound operation.
Paul has been instrumental in facilitating this transformation with a personable yet professional style that really suits our manner of working. I would recommend Paul and TAB membership to any business owner looking at taking the next step.”
