Stan Mathews Consulting supports businesses that need additional expertise, capacity or coordination to address an important challenge.

You may need help because:

  • Teams, suppliers or departments need bringing together
  • Part of the business could work more effectively
  • You need experienced support without making a permanent appointment

About Stan

More than 25 years of bringing people, technology and ideas together.

I spent more than 25 years working within a major UK business, beginning in sales and export development before moving into project management, operations, employee engagement and business improvement.

I have consistently been at my best when bringing together people, information and ideas to solve problems and make things happen.

I established Stan Mathews Consulting to offer that experience to other organisations, either independently or alongside trusted technical and specialist partners.

My aim is straightforward: understand what a business needs, identify a practical way forward and help deliver a positive result.
