"I wholeheartedly recommend Antony for his exceptional contribution to the successful launch of AW Bistro.
Antony's extensive knowledge and experience in the hospitality sector were nothing short of invaluable. His operational acumen ensured that every aspect of the bistro's opening was meticulously planned and executed with precision.

"Working with Antony has been best management one-to-one coaching I have experienced. Using his wealth of experience, great way of asking questions & probing topics of conversation allowed me to break down my current managerial style into areas I can then work on & improve.
I found it very engaging, sometimes a little uncomfortable to dig a little deeper! But extremely thought-provoking and importantly allowed me to translate my thoughts & learnings into my day-to-day work, work/life & style of management.
I feel the coaching sessions will help me become a better leader, improve my communication with employees, build relationships and be more productive within my team.
I have improved my ability to become more 'self-aware', identify behavioural styles and have better one-on-one discussions with my team.
It has helped me enormously to think outside the box"

His ability to break down 'bears in the road' and provide thoughtful, practical solutions has had a lasting impact on both my personal growth and the success of my business.
Beyond his deep expertise, Antony's encouragement and genuine belief in my potential have been incredibly motivating. He doesn't just offer advice- he's deeply invested in seeing me succeed."
Lounge on the Green
James Hill – Owner / Managing Director,
Lounge on the Green, Houghton
"I have worked with Antony (AWP Consultancy) since June 2021. When we first started working together I was spinning many plates and trying to micromanage many areas within my business.
Time management, the ability to delegate, and work life balance were areas where I was majorly lacking.
Antony challenged my way of thinking, made me stop and review situations, subsequently helping me define strategies to prevent their occurrence moving forwards.
Since then, he has assisted me in developing a very successful business concept (launched in October 2021), and more importantly helped me to adopt a fresh approach to managing my business.
Coaching has helped me to empower my team and has allowed me to delegate responsibility effectively, adding both value and time.
Our monthly sessions together have become pivotal in terms of challenging my processes and decisions, with a thorough review adding solid perspective to the proposed outcomes."
