--- See What Our Clients Say About Working With Kershaw Partners ---
Gary Exall - Managing Director, Nobatech
Mike joined us late 2016 initially as an advisor and has been fundamental to the business since.
Mikewas brought in to help scale our business but at the same time improve our commercial processes, reporting and governance. His 30+ years experience has helped us identify growth opportunities and structure various deals that we wouldn’t have been able to complete on without his time and advice.
Mike chairs our board meetings and is a mentor to the senior leadership team and a great team motivator. He’s passionate about people, connecting businesses and creating opportunities. He’s a game changer!
WOO Architects have been working with Mike and Richard since late 2018. They have been extraordinarily helpful in improving our business, developing our processes and giving us an exciting platform for growth.
The past year has been particularly challenging and having Richard at the operational helm as we chartered some choppy waters has been a huge benefit to me personally and the whole team at WOO.
Kershaw Partners bring a calm and considered approach to business, focused on helping us achieve our goals and as a result the whole practice is now more financially secure, better organised, happier and more excited about the future than we have ever been. We look forward to working with them for many years to come
Kevin Owens - Founder, WOO Archtects
James Abbott - Founder, Mix and Twist
I got together online for the two-day review with Mike and David and they took an in depth look into Mix & Twist. We worked through all areas of the business and detailed where we were and what the market looks like.
With this understanding Mike and David worked through areas of improvement and recommendations which were extremely valuable, especially the opportunities we discussed that would help us growt while maintaining our high quality of service.
The report was extensive and had significant recommendations that we have already started to implement and gain success from.
Mike and David brought a wealth of business and industry experience and expertise, backed up with excitement and energy. They were great to work with and I look forward to continuing the progression with Kershaw Partners.
I would highly recommend getting in touch with them and seeing how they can help.
We have used consultants in the past, but none who have walked the walk and are so grounded.
The process gave us the reassurance that we were doing a lot well and that the problems we had were not insurmountable and were opportunities moving forward.
We would definitely recommend the 2 Day Review to anyone who has established themselves in the Event Industry and is looking to take things to the next level. Kershaw Partners are so well connected so for us the process was well worth it.
Taran O'Doherty - Founder, Yahire
Alix Caiger - Founder, Caiger and Company
Having grown steadily for three years I needed to understand how I accelerated the growth in Caiger and Company for the next three years.
The two day workshop with Richard and David was the most useful and eye opening thing I had done since starting the business. The way they explained what I needed to do and the steps that I had to take was just brilliant.
I would advise any small business who wants to seriously get ahead to spend the money on this, it is the best money you will ever spend.
Working with Mike and Pete from Kershaw Partners has been fantastic for ISLA.
They’ve brought a commercial realism, breadth of experience and structural methodology to the operation that we’ve hugely benefited from.
Their down to earth approach and simple, easy to understand modules have helped to transform how we approach the operation and positioning of ISLA. Not only that, but they’re great fun to work with!
Anna Abdelnoor - Co-Founder, Isla
James Middlehurst - Owner/Founder, Kalm Kitchen
I have spent a lot of money on consultants in the last two years, and other than the money I have spent with Kershaw Partners, the rest of it was a waste.
Without a doubt it was the best two days we have had as a business and the debrief document that we received will be integral to our ambitions and the way we communicate with our team going into next year.
Put simply it was just very, very good.
Working with Mike and David was the best investment we could have made in our business this year.
They provided a different perspective on strategic thinking and also gave us insight into areas we had never considered.
We are going to be working with Kershaw Partners on an ongoing basis to help grow our business even further.
Laurie Weitzhorn - Co-Founder, Just Seventy
Alex Hewitt - CEO, AOK Events
We have benefited hugely from the 30+ years experience Mike has in the events industry and he has been pivotal in two transactions that we have carried out, buying The Cavendish Consultancy and part buying We Find Venues.
Mike continues to chair our Board Meetings and attending regular Senior Management strategy
sessions where he is equally passionate, forthright, innovative and process-driven. He is constantly on the look out for further growth opportunities & I have no hesitation in recommending his services to others.
Thank you Mike & Guy for such a brilliant couple of days.
The “Deep Dive” was a very beneficial and useful exercise that we are confident will open lots of doors for our business moving forward.
It was an extremely interesting and informative experience and we would highly recommend the process to any business looking to progress to the next phase of their development.
Kate Cross - Owner, Caswell House
Charlotte Penniceard - Founder, PenniBlack
Just to say thank you for the past two days. They were inspiring!
It’s amazing the power of vision, belief and a clear plan. I had been feeling completely exhausted and had lost all motivation, and by contract last night a fresh spark was ignited, and I was awake most of the night adding notes to my to do list,
Really enjoyed working with you both and excited for the future.
The extensive knowledge of business and advice given by Kershaw Partners has been an invaluable part of setting up my business. Whether it be their attention to detail, patience or constant support, they have been an integral part of getting my business up and running.
David has been my right hand man, that in itself deserves a medal! He has been full of encouragement and always there to stop me making any decisions I’d regret!
Harriet Cuming - Founder, Whisp
Debbie Marks - Founder, Qube Luxe
I completed the 2-day review with Richard and Mike. It was great to have industry experts have an outside perspective on the business and great to get the acknowledgement that we were heading in the right direction and to see we had such huge potential.
They showed a complete understanding of all aspects of my business, looking at processes, sales procedures, collaboration opportunities, and drilling down into the finances to see where I could grow the business.
If you're looking to take your business to the next level, you need to speak to Kershaw Partners.

Kershaw Partners have been an incredible help to Immersive AV over the past year and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Mike is a superb mentor, coach and business thinker with such varied and valuable experience across the UK Events Industry. Having his cool head and focused business brain has been invaluable as we reset the business for future growth.
Sharon Reynolds - CEO Immersive AV
Michael O'Dwyer OBE - Secretary and Chief Executive, The Hurlingham Club
Mike Kershaw and his team took the time to understand our event operations and then, bringing their extensive industry knowledge and experience to the table, made some very helpful recommendations as to how we could improve in the future.
They were a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them to others looking for advice and support with events strategy.
Mike and his team at Kershaw and Partners have provided us with support and direction which will enable us to increase profit margins from our numerous income streams.
Their creative thought process when compiling the Commercial Audit was insightful, refreshing and showed a deep understanding of what is a complex business balancing the Mission of the Cathedral with the need to raise commercial income.
They have given us solutions that will provide Winchester Cathedral with sustainable financial growth over the coming years.
