EmmaCritchley-Lloyd — founder advisory, speaking and research
Bootstrapped from a Facebook post. Sold on my daughter's second birthday.
I give founders the hindsight they need, before it's too late. Commercial growth, PR and operations from someone who has sat in their seat.
Bootstrapped from a Facebook post, served SMEs only, passed £1.3m revenue in five years.
Nearly lost it after giving birth. Back in profit the month after an emergency restructure.
Sold the agency on my daughter's second birthday.
Used PR to beat West Ham United, the London Legacy Development Corporation, local authorities and central government.
Beat Ogilvy, Coors Light and Heineken at The Influencer Marketing Awards.
Founder-Mother
Running the first global study into founder-motherhood. Writing the book. Campaigning to change the law.
Not another business coach
I learned this without a safety net.
There's good advice available from people who've built careers worth respecting. Most of it was learned inside someone else's business, with every statutory employment right behind it.
I was the employer granting the sick leave, the holiday and the maternity leave, and the employee who couldn't afford to take any of it.
I came thirty days from losing everything. No investors. No bail-out from friends or family. I restructured, won three clients and turned it round.
Feeling stuck?
Tell me what's going on. If I'm not the right person, I'll say so and point you at who is.
