A Christmas treat – A testimonial from one of our recent clients.
Shelley Fishel www.thetraining surgery.co uk
“I first met Nick of Business Co Pilot at a seminar where I heard him speak. I immediately felt that this is someone I can work with and commissioned Nick to help me write a business plan for the new and existing parts of my business. We then continued to work on an on-going basis for the next 5 months. Nick helped me to take a long hard look at the business as a whole and to evaluate and re-evaluate where I want it to go. He helped me to write a fantastic business plan which sits on my desk and to which I can and do refer constantly. On-going weekly conversations helped me to stay on track with all the various things going on.
Nick encouraged me to move from my home office to a proper office which has resulted in a more focussed working environment with less distraction and this is extremely beneficial. Nick also encouraged me to learn how to delegate the day to day tasks to a virtual assistant.
All in all the experience has been great – I have moved so far in a short time and it is truly amazing. I now work on and in my business with a much more business like focus.
Thank you Nick.

“Rob worked with Amnis on our marketing strategy during the early stages of the company set up. Rob helped us clarify our objectives and was instrumental in helping us to develop our approach to marketing to the NHS.Rob’s work with us also involved testing our marketing strategy and through his support we identified the main approaches to accessing clients that has subsequently led us to increase our turnover by 75% per year for the last three years. Rob’s professional support during our early days and subsequently over the three years since our formation has helped us to create a thriving business. We look forward to continuing to work with Rob long into the future.”
Graham Bobin – Speedsail UK Ltd www.speedsailuk.com
“Nick I would like to thank you for your help over the past couple of years in setting up various systems within my company that have helped create a smoother and easier process for running both the day-to-day and long-term projects.
It is good to know that I can call on you when “things” become overwhelming and that our discussions are keeping the business on the right track.
I have recognised that there are limits to what I can deal with and that I can not be master of every aspect of my business. The way things are now set up allow me to concentrate on what I am good at and leave you rest to you and other better suited persons.
I hope this working relationship will continue as the business grows”
David Pinchard – MD Topinterim: www.topinterim.co.uk
“I have known Rob now for about six years. We first came across each other after he had finished his Bath MBA thesis on networking and it’s power in the business environment.
He has spoken in a number of our continuous professional development sessions and he is certainly of ‘senior interim change leader standard’ and, because of that and our positive experiences of him we invited him in as a member of topinterim. Out of 60 board level leaders we interview each month only two get in to topinterim. So we are extremely picky. There are just 150 members of topinterim. Our client list is formidable. Panasonic, Vodafone, Flogas, Henley Business School, The Tata Group, HMG. The Solicitors Regulation Authority to name but a few.
We have recommended him to other MD’s and he has been on considerable help in shaping their own client development work.
Rob has a ‘nose’ for what matters in business development. The best routes always start with developing ‘relationships of trust’. Instant results in sales are unusual, we all know that they are built, month by month, bit by bit. Finding good outsiders to help gives all sorts of wins. Flexible costs, dispassionate advice without the internal restraints of any employee, passion, professionalism, experience of other sectors. We recommend Rob Hook highly.”
Colleen Wagener – PA / Social Media Guru London Relocation Ltd www.londonrelocationservices.com
“Nick, I have looked up to you for as long as I’ve known you because I not only recognize the sound, informed business sense you bring to the table that can generate much success and money, but also that you’re a first-rate person who has perspective on what matters in life and how individuals can apply their talents toward achieving worthy goals that simultaneously meet the needs of others. ”
David Hodson - MD Stream: www.streamlondon.com
“Bringing in Rob has resulted in our Board working as a cohesive unit and thus focussing on the real needs of the business. We are as a result a tighter unit with greater enthusiasm and truly focussed on success.”
Simon Morley | PolkaSpots: http://www.polkaspots.com/
“Nick’s been an inspiration to the whole team at PolkaSpots Supafly Wi-Fi for the last 2 years. As a business owner, you’re expected to motivate your staff but this is rarely reciprocated – you’re just expected to perform each and every day. Every business owner needs a Nick in their life to do just this!
Nick’s encouraging words and wisdom have helped us through the good times and bad. Without him, I’m not sure we would have made it through in such good shape.
One of Nick’s major strengths is his ability to motivate and he continuously see’s the best in every situation. His honest approach to business coaching is a blessing. No business owner can be expected to know everything about running a successful company – Nick’s knowledge and real-life experience have been more than a help to us. Keep up the good work! “
