Following a career spanning 25 years within small and large businesses in the medical industry, Alastair McLeod plans to draw on his wide experience and help Northamptonshire SMEs achieve their vision.
Business Doctors is a support franchise dedicated to helping business owners of small and medium-sized enterprises. All franchisee partners are real businesspeople and offer practical, hands-on support.
Alastair is no exception; he has a strong sales, marketing, and business development background, so he is well-equipped for his new calling.
“Northamptonshire has a vibrant and talented business community – I’m very excited about helping them unlock their full potential and contribute to producing future business powerhouses that will provide jobs and opportunities for the whole community” Alastair said.
Alastair is already paying it forward by offering a free business health check to any business owner within Northamptonshire.
Outside of working hours, Alastair has a wide range of interests, including mentoring his “Generation Z” sons, fitness, playing the guitar, reading and following the stock market.
Matthew Levington, co-founder of Business Doctors, said, “Alastair is a great addition to the network; he shares our passion for ‘paying it forward,’ and I have no doubt he will make a big difference to his local community and fellow franchisees.”
