About the Business
Hi my name is Jo and I’m a small to medium business consultant and mentor with a passion for marketing, strategy and creating your business stepping stones to success.
In 2010, and after the 6th or 7th round of redundancy programme within the corporate business I worked in, I made a life changing decision to leave ‘corporate life’ and find a vocation which allowed me to spend more time with my children and create a more balanced lifestyle for my family and myself.
I retrained as a baby & pre-school swim teacher and put my 20 years of corporate experience in to the marketing and PR of this small business, suddenly realising my love for small businesses versus the gruelling demands and impersonal environment of the larger companies I’d had experience of.
Now I’m not saying that creating a successful small business does not take effort, time, blood, sweat and tears however for me the rewards are so much more; watching a small business lay stable foundations and start their steps to real and sustainable growth, based on true goals and strategies set by the business for the business.

What We Do
Jo Long Consulting offers bespoke support to small and medium sized start-up and established businesses to create goals, strategies and marketing activity to build clarity and growth.
Utilising my 20+ years experience within the corporate environment we can work together on a medium to long term basis reviewing implemented plans to ensure the best possible results for your business, or alternatively I can work on an ad-hoc basis for specific projects and/or plans.
I like to work directly with my clients and prefer face to face meetings, although if required after the initial meeting meetings can be managed virtually utilising Skype for example.

LondonHighly professional & couldn't recommend more. I highly recommend Jo Long to anyone who is looking to start their own business. What has Jo done for me? She has been there at key stages in my career helping: manage budgets, advise on logos & website building, prepare initial press releases & most importantly, Jo helped me come up with a strategy that convinced an investor to give me 3 years of business costs and a salary. She specialises not only in helping people become financially independent but in helping them grow their confidence & sustain a long-lasting in self-employment.
