UK SME Business Management Consultancy
We are a boutique SME business management consultancy, situated on the edge of the New Forest in the UK. Founded in 2022 to do one thing exceptionally well: help leaders improve performance, execution, and organisational capability.
Our work draws on deep experience across customer-facing and operational environments, including aftermarket and service contexts, but our focus is much broader than any single business function or sector.
We help SME owners, directors, and executive teams tackle strategic and execution challenges — from optimising processes and strengthening leadership capability to improving revenue performance and building organisational resilience. Our approach is practical, outcome-focused, and grounded in real business experience, not theory or buzzwords.
We have observed that the fundamentals of performance and sustainable growth are consistent across market sectors: organisations succeed when leadership engages capability, execution aligns with customer and market expectations, and performance improvements are measurable and enduring. That insight allows us to support SMEs in diverse sectors with clarity and impact.
Because we’re intentionally small, we work closely with every client to provide tailored insight, flexibility, and genuine collaboration, ensuring every project gets the focus and attention it deserves.
A Legacy of Expertise
Our founder, Nigel Woodall, brings more than 45 years of business experience from senior roles with OEMs, independent MROs, airlines, and global distributors. Backed by an MBA and years of consultancy with SMEs, he combines deep industry insight with practical, actionable guidance.
Following the Covid turbulence of 2020–21, Nigel recognised a growing need. Small and mid-sized businesses were seeking short-term, specialist support in precisely the areas he knew best. That insight sparked the creation of Aftermarket Advisory Consulting, a business built on sharing proven strategies, transferring knowledge, and equipping clients for lasting success.
He is also the author of After-sales Excellence, a practical guide to improving business performance.
Today, the same ethos guides everything we do - trusted expertise, applied simply and effectively.
What Sets Us Apart
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all consultancy. Every engagement is tailored to your goals, challenges, and operating environment. Our work is guided by three core principles:
Clarity – cutting through complexity to reveal what truly matters
Simplicity – designing practical solutions that work in the real world
Results – delivering measurable improvements you can see and sustain
This focused approach ensures we stay pragmatic, value-driven, and easy to work with, qualities that clients tell us they appreciate most.
