“Ken Davey’s mentoring at Smarter Business Mentoring was transformative for me and my business. Over six intensive sessions, Ken challenged me to dig deep and uncover my true ‘why’ - a process that was demanding but incredibly rewarding. His approach completely shifted my perspective on my project, infusing it with renewed purpose and clarity. Ken’s attention to detail is exceptional. He guided me through creating comprehensive business documents, effectively translating my vision into a written roadmap. This resource has proven invaluable, keeping me focused and aligned with my goals even when daily operations threaten to overwhelm me. What sets Ken apart is his combination of rigorous methodology and genuine friendliness. He’s an amazing mentor who not only sharpens your business acumen but also makes the journey enjoyable. For anyone serious about elevating their business mindset and strategy, I wholeheartedly recommend Ken Davey’s mentoring services.”

“Ken had a genuine deep interest in me becoming a better business person. Not only was he always punctual for our meetings, but he was also incredibly flexible and understanding when it came to rescheduling. His exceptional organisational skills ensured that every session was productive and focused despite my shortcomings. What sets him apart is his unwavering dedication to researching my industry, going the extra mile to provide me with invaluable insights and resources. He gave me tools and feedback that have been instrumental in helping me develop a comprehensive business plan, covering everything from my ‘why’ to smart goals, competitive advantage, and financial models granting me lifetime access to these valuable resources. Most importantly, his authenticity and humility shine through in every interaction, making my mentorship journey with him a truly fulfilling one... Every entrepreneur needs a Ken!”

“One of the many things I enjoyed while being mentored by Ken was his holistic approach to business. Our first session reminded me of my WHY, which was absolutely transformational. Moreover, I am running a highly specialised company and yet Ken understood it fully on a much deeper level than I could have expected from someone who hasn’t specialised in my field. He has helped us reach new heights of organisational management, legal hygiene and strategy. He’s a truly exceptional mentor and I recommend him to anyone who wants to take their company to the next level.”

"Over the following months, we achieved a workable business plan, clarity around our mission, aims and objectives over the next three years and, very importantly, what steps we need to take in order to achieve them. We also gained the confidence to go forward with certainty that our business is now based on a solid foundation. Ken was everything you wish from a mentor: feedback, guidance, advice, understanding, motivation and a genuine caring so that my business and I are successful. I cannot thank Ken, enough for his time, patience and expertise in the area of business, it was priceless."
Elaine Powell, Founder, Elaine Powell Growth & Development Ltd
“Ken had great insight and understanding, during what was a complicated and pivotal period for us. His council was offered from a place of authenticity and without ego, which is rare to find. He has a fantastic armoury of personal development knowledge and has given us ongoing access to many of these tools. Due to the nature of our business (events), we have a lot of last-minute commitments; but he was super flexible with meeting times and rescheduling – again, operating without ego. Integrity is key in a mentor; Ken follows up on all commitments to us in a timely and professional manner and has stayed in touch since. We recommend him to anyone looking for solid business advice, a direct approach and more importantly one of the good guys!”
Stuart Groves, Co-Founder, Shout About London Ltd
“I recently completed a six-course series. Ken had carefully structured each session, making it relevant to my professional goals, objectives and my business. This has been a very valuable use of my time and resource. The process has led me to consider and now implement improvements in the strategy and running of my business. I found Ken to be approachable; prepared to listen; and able to guide me into making relevant, specific decisions to the benefit of my business. I would not hesitate to recommend Ken; his mentoring sessions are time and money very well spent.”
