Paul Muggeridge-Breene\u200b<\/h3>

Paul<\/a> is CEO of Thrive and an experienced agency advisor. Previously, he co-founded and grew an agency to 70 team members and \u00a35m turnover in eight years, before exiting via an Employee Ownership Trust. He’s also an ICF-certified coach, a qualified accountant (MAAT), a former international journalist and a member of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS).

Paul\u2019s experience, combined with his specialist training, means he brings a unique skillset as an agency advisor, including deep commercial and financial knowledge, an intuitive understanding of what drives and what blocks employees, an innate ability to optimise team structures and workflows and a mastery of how to inspire and lead lasting change.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“Paul’s support as Fractional CFO has been transformational for my agency. He has helped guide us through a very difficult period to a place where\u00a0we understand where we’re going and what we need to do to get there. Always calm, always reassuring, Paul’s direct experience of the agency world, coupled with his meticulous approach to financial planning, means he’s the ideal partner for agency owners.”<\/div>

“Paul from Thrive has been an invaluable asset to our business – his contributions have been nothing short of magical. His profound knowledge, skills, and strategic insights have illuminated our path and provided us with the guidance and confidence needed to navigate the complexities of financial and business planning. We couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated and capable partner.”<\/div>

<\/div>
“Working with Paul has been transformative for our agency. He has notably helped us organize our back office so that we resemble a grown-up agency with proper financials. Paul is competent, organized, thorough, patient, and kind. He’s been an educator, mentor, and, occasionally, taskmaster. We plan on working with him for many years to come and would highly recommend him to other agencies.”<\/div>

<\/div>
“We began with Paul’s full business review a few months ago and we still go back to his findings \u2013 almost daily. We got a lot from his analysis and long-term plan for growth, which we\u2019re now implementing. Paul’s ongoing work with us is consultative and nuanced – he\u2019s like an additional director (does \u2018fifth Beatle\u2019 sound bad?) and sits in on board meetings and other vital work. A great listener, with a genuine stake in our success, I\u2019d recommend anyone engage with Paul, and find out for yourself.”<\/div>

<\/div>
“Paul has been exceptional. His advice is well thought through, clear and focused. He has helped me to navigate a very complex situation and to stay focused on actions that drive positive outcomes. He is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend Paul to any founder who is looking for an advisor and accountability partner.”<\/div>

<\/div>
“Working with Paul has been integral to my agency’s progression. He’s been calming, clear and full of rich ‘been-there, got the T-shirt’ experience. He’s helped me clarify my goals – both personal and business – and then to build a plan to achieve them. He’s also helped me make the decisions needed to set my agency up for the next stage of growth, and provides a crystal clear view of the finances\u00a0– as well as guidance on increasing revenue and profitability. I would say to anyone looking for\u00a0agency advisory: Paul is the person you’re looking for.”<\/div>
