Welcome!

Willow Business Support has one fundamental aim: helping business to realise its full potential and maximise profit.

Willow Business Support was founded by Susie Brindley, who identified a need to offer first class service and support to public and private sector businesses that are operating within the visitor economy, in the UK and overseas.

Susie has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with her clients, in a supportive, confidential and constructive way. Willow also works with a team of experienced and professional associates, who are specialists in marketing, training, research and event management.

Willow assist business in its wider sense, including employers, self-employed, not-for-profit organisations, and can help entrepreneurs develop their ideas, and their business skills.

Willow has three broad objectives:
• To enhance individual business capability - through our day-to-day service provision, marketing, business advice, training and development and our advisory role.
• To make a tangible, positive impact on our clients and their business.
• To offer exceptional customer service, and to act in the best interest of clients at all times.
