Matt Bull, a local business coach with ActionCOACH Loughborough, is on a mission to empower female entrepreneurs to reach new heights in their businesses and personal lives.
In the UK, female entrepreneurs are driving significant economic growth. According to the Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship 2022, women now account for 40% of new business creation in the UK, a sharp rise from previous years. Despite this progress, female business leaders still face unique challenges, such as accessing funding and scaling operations. Matt is committed to providing women with the strategies, confidence, and resources needed to overcome these barriers and thrive.
One of Matt's standout clients, Anna Barker, owner of the award-winning company Lush Garden Design, shares how his coaching transformed her business and leadership approach.
“I started off on my kitchen table over 15 years ago, and I’m now much bigger than I ever thought I would be. When I got my small business rate relief during COVID, I decided to utilise some of that for coaching. Sometimes you need that outside help to suggest how to look at things differently and to champion you. Matt’s very good and patient with me, he’s happy to explain things over and over again until we get there, so it’s great having him to turn to.
You don’t really realise that when you’re building a business, you’re actually trying to create something that runs without you so that you can have a better life. His support in getting my daughter on board and making that transition has been hugely valuable to me. He’s helped me feel more confident in myself and what I can achieve, and that is priceless.”
Anna’s experience is just one example of how Matt is helping reshape the business landscape for female entrepreneurs. Through his personalised coaching programs, Matt offers actionable strategies for business growth, leadership development, and work-life balance, focusing on the unique challenges that women face in today’s competitive market.
Research also shows that businesses with more female leaders deliver better performance. A 2020 report by McKinsey highlighted that companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on executive teams were 25% more likely to experience above-average profitability. Matt Bull recognises the value that female leadership brings to the economy and is dedicated to helping women harness their full potential to drive innovation and success.
Matt explains:
"It’s about more than just business success. It’s about empowering women to lead with confidence, resilience, and vision, both in their careers and personal lives. Women bring such unique strengths to the table, and my role is to help them unlock their full potential and navigate the challenges with clarity and purpose."
