With a strong background in finance and strategy, and having over twenty years of client management experience, Iain Hamnett created Vantage in 2010 to provide valued support to business owners who wanted to maximise their potential. Iain realised that many businesses did not always know how to review, challenge or change themselves.
It also became clear that businesses greatly benefited from having an independent viewpoint, to share ideas and problems. Since 2010, Vantage has grown to provide inspiring business support to businesses, both big and small.
Our clients use Vantage to ‘work on their business rather than in it’ and enjoy discussing tried and tested techniques to work smarter and not harder.
