Business Consultancy & Growth Specialists
Building stronger businesses from the foundations up
Every business owner reaches a point where things start to feel heavy
Processes get messy. Margins tighten. Teams lose direction. Growth stalls.
At Sands & Co, I help you take back control - bringing clarity, structure, and momentum to your business.
I’m not a distant advisor or clipboard consultant. I roll up my sleeves, work alongside you and your team, and help make lasting change happen.
Practical, embedded consultancy - built around how your business really works.
Management Consultancy with a Difference
Traditional consultants analyse, advise, and leave.
I analyse, advise and then work with you to make the change stick.
My management consultancy approach is hands-on, integrated, and outcome-driven. I spend time inside your business to understand how it operates day to day — the people, the pressures, and the potential — before designing and implementing solutions that create real, measurable impact.
Once the foundations are in place, I help you accelerate — identifying new opportunities, strengthening profitability, and preparing for long-term success or sale.
“I wholeheartedly endorse Bill and his approach to business, he’s truly a wizard when it comes to driving success.”
“We do not have a bad thing to say about him or the service he gave and continues to give. Everyone should have a Bill!”
“By the end, we were much clearer on how to move forward, with systems and structures in place that would make progress much smoother.”

Why Sands & Co
I founded Sands & Co after more than 20 years working across commercial and operational roles in service-based businesses, retail, logistics, property, construction, wholesale distribution, and M&A. In that time, I’ve helped organisations build resilience, improve profitability, and scale sustainably.
My consultancy is grounded in real-world experience and a deep understanding of the challenges SME owners face every day.
I believe in integrity, simplicity, and structure — building businesses that are strong from the inside out.
