At YellowBites, we knew that if we wanted to grow, we needed more than just ambition, we needed help. Someone who could provide a clear strategy and give us the confidence and discipline to execute it well. That’s where working with Leigh Paulden from SSBG has been such a game-changer. Leigh, our business mentor, was referred to us through our bank at a senior level, and it quickly became clear why. The two biggest benefits we’ve gained are clarity and alignment. Leigh has a great way of cutting through the noise, helping us focus on what really matters, and getting our leadership team pulling in the same direction.
What we really value about Leigh is how he blends deep business experience with proven growth frameworks, while making it practical and relevant to our world. He meets with us regularly, keeps us accountable, and challenges us to think bigger. His style is steady, systematic, and results-driven. This is exactly what yellowbites needed as we faced the challenge of scaling up. He’s helped us strengthen our systems, sharpen execution, and tackle problems before they become roadblocks. Leigh has also reviewed our business structure and guided us toward getting the right people in place to deliver results.
Since working with Leigh, we’ve seen real improvements: clearer priorities, stronger teamwork, a more streamlined management structure, and systems that will support sustainable growth. He’s opened our eyes to opportunities we might never have considered, while giving us the confidence to back ourselves.
For a mid-sized FMCG manufacturer like us, having Leigh alongside us has made a real difference. We’d recommend him to any business that’s serious about scaling with confidence.
