Uncompromising work for uncompromising founders.
Burnt Grove works with founders in hospitality and high-end design to execute on their vision and build their business the way they always set out to.
ABOUT
I've spent the last fifteen years moving between two worlds that don't usually talk to each other. The first is creative — a career as a songwriter and producer that taught me more about what makes something genuinely resonate with people than anything I've studied since. The second is organisational - close to a decade working across strategy and operations, learning how businesses actually function beneath the surface of what the world sees.
Here is where those two worlds come together. I started Burnt Grove because I kept seeing the same opportunity in founders I admired — businesses with a clear, compelling vision that, with the right support, could be fully realised in what the world actually experiences. The brand and operation pulling together, rather than apart. I wanted to be the person who helps make that happen, for founders who care too much about what they're building to settle for anything less.
APPROACH
Every engagement is different, because every founder and business is different. But the way I approach the work follows the same underlying pattern — starting with genuine understanding before anything else.
-
An open conversation about who we both are — how we think, what we value, and whether there’s a genuine fit worth pursuing together.
-
An honest look at how your business is actually operating today; what’s working, and what’s getting in the way.
-
We build a clear picture of your original vision, and what it would take to fully realise it.
-
Agreeing together where the work begins, and what the right shape of engagement looks like for your business specifically.
If that sounds like the kind of engagement you've been looking for, let's start with a conversation.
