About Lawrence Wilson
With a 20-year business management background across SMEs and corporate organisations, Lawrence has fine-tuned his skills to help small and medium sized business owners realise their ambitions.
Lawrence can trace his enthusiasm for entrepreneurship back to his sales-savvy mother’s home grown food business, which she eventually sold for a profit. He worked alongside her and gained valuable exposure to sales, food production, accounts, recruitment and web site development.
From there he worked as Features Editor in a family owned B2B publishing business and in customer services, for the global Internet and telecoms giant Tiscali. He then embarked upon a 15-year sales management career, firstly for an IT services SME and then Pitney Bowes and Otis Lifts. Whilst at Otis Lifts he held credit control, debt management and operational responsibilities.
Lawrence explains, “Business is in my blood; it’s what fires me up. SME owners appreciate the tenacity I bring to the analysis of their companies. Once I’ve set my sights on something, I don’t give up. I’m a relationship builder and pride myself on finding common ground with everybody. I relish helping small business owners get past the ‘gatekeepers’ that may hold the keys to their growth.”
In his spare time Lawrence enjoys both playing and watching golf, cricket and rugby.

“I took the opportunity to speak to Lawrence following a webinar he presented as I was repositioning my business. The pandemic affected my previous market, so I knew my business had to evolve but I didn’t know how. I was seeking support and advice and Lawrence fulfilled that role perfectly. He has given me the confidence to achieve my career goals and I now feel really positive about the future of my business.”

“Working with Lawrence and Oreste over lockdown was a beneficial experience. We engaged with them over a series of 7 online sessions, which enabled us to step back and reflect on our business and personal priorities. We have run a successful consultancy for 20 years, and the sessions gave insight on how we could develop our business to the next level. The outcome was a strategic plan and an implementation plan, with a roadmap. I would not hesitate to recommend Lawrence, Oreste at Business Doctors if you are looking to grow and requiring external expertise”

Lawrence has worked in partnership with Bromley Council recently hosting business events. The Business Doctors events are always popular and we have received some really positive feedback relating to the topics and the organisation of these events. Lawrence is a pleasure to work with and his professional approach always ensures the events run smoothly with real benefit to the businesses of Bromley.

Andreas Jochim DO MSc,
Since engaging Business Doctors I feel much more positive about the future of the business. If you feel you are working in the business, not on the business and can’t see the wood for the trees, it’s very worthwhile having a chat with Lawrence. Typically, I am in my room treating patients all day and it is very difficult to see the bigger picture of how the business should be developing. Lawrence has helped us with our motivation and set realistic but achievable targets to help us grow, he also comes in every month to help keep us on track. Lawrence is always very willing to listen and adapt he does not try to push us into doing things we don’t want to do, and at the same time he has some very positive ideas about how to grow the business.

We are an aparthotel brand growing quickly. I was put in touch with Lawrence, and his colleague by my Bank Manager. I needed a comprehensive business plan to present to the bank to support our next phase of expansion. After the initial meeting, I felt sure they possessed the skills sets, knowledge and importantly understanding of my objectives to help me. Lawrence took the time to get to know us, our business and what we wanted from it. He helped us to reflect on our vision for the next 5 years, financial aspirations with detailed forecasts and differentiation in the marketplace. We plotted out what the business will need to look like in terms of its structure and operational capacity to support the growth strategy. Overall I am really happy with the end result and with Lawrence's professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend Lawrence to anyone looking for help with their next phase of growth.

Lawrence is a pleasant and personable business professional who I recently had a couple of business development sessions with. I found the meetings very helpful. He got me to think differently about my role in my business and my plans for the future. He had a structured approach but also listened well and adjusted his questions to suit my company. It made me address some fundamental mental blocks I had when it came to business development and growth.
Regency Insurance Services
Andrew Dartford
We are family run business that has been trading for over 30 years but I felt it was time to get some outside help to drive us forward. Lawrence gave me the confidence from the outset that he was the right person for the job. I find my sessions with him invaluable. His manner is personable and he instantly puts me at ease. I am impressed with his understanding of the business environment in which I operate. He listens well and took the time to get to know my business and what I wanted from it. He was able use his experience and knowledge to help me implement a very pragmatic plan and guide my business in the right direction. I look forward to continuing to work on my business, knowing that Lawrence will hold me to account and gently bring me back to my strategic objectives, whenever I get bogged down and distracted by day to day concerns.
You Team

Lawrence covered a lot of good material focused on growing a valuable and sellable business. Two points that particularly resonated with me were the impact of recurring revenue & predictability of profit on the value of the company you are building and the need to structure the human resources of the business, so eventually it can operate without the founder(s). His advice lead to me reconsidering the business model I was taking to market and making adjustments required to create recurring revenue.

Ian and I had an excellent day in Bromley with Lawrence. He firstly gained detailed knowledge of our business, of our business and personal goals, then after analysing our situation he recommended a 'laser focus' on one particular activity that will enable us to progress to a higher plane. We have begun implementing his 'laser focus' and have hired staff to help us. We are confident that Lawrence's approach will be successful for us. He also happens to be a very nice, intelligent guy !

"I thought your planning structure was very concise. As you know I'm doing a Cranfield Business Growth Programme course and your plan cuts through a number of processes we covered focussing on the most important steps. I'm glad I had the opportunity to see your presentation."

"Many thanks for the very informative and enjoyable breakfast seminar. I'm not a big fan of management consultants and business coaches but I was very impressed with the presentation and can now see where Business Doctors take a different approach in order to truly add value."

Richard Latteman
"I would like to thank Business Doctors for helping me with my business. I have been pretty successful as a financial adviser and the prospects were looking good as well. However I wanted to take things in a new direction and focus on some different and potentially more profitable areas. I needed some help with that process. I spent half a day with Lawrence and a colleague as they gave me the opportunity to work on my business rather than simply in it. They helped me develop clarity as they listened to my hopes and dreams. Following that they helped me formulate a simple but comprehensive plan to take things to a new level. I can't thank them enough for reminding me why I enjoy this business so much."

"When I had my 1-1 with Lawrence, I was well impressed with the kind of services he had to offer. I decided there and then that I wanted to work with him for my business. After the first session, I was really taken aback of how knowledgeable Lawrence was and the beauty of it all is he does not advise me what to do, unlike other coaches but he works in a way that I come up with the solution to implement in my business. I have decided to work with him in my journey for success as having him by my side, I know for sure he will guide me through it all. Many thanks Lawrence Wilson from Business Doctors, I have no hesitation in recommending his services to all of my contacts and family."
Found Design Ltd
Paul Spencer
"I've been running a successful design company for 10 years but have found it increasing difficult to find the time to work on the business, bring in new work and market the business. I have worked with consultants in the past but I found that they never really understood the company or the aspirations I had for it. After a searching and challenging (for me) workshop day with Lawrence, the report was delivered in a concise and professional format and created a clear vision and strategy to enable me achieve my goals. The plan has given me a new lease of life and personal motivation to turn the company around. I am now working with Lawrence to implement the strategy and break into new markets and value him as a true partner to the company."
