corporate career that didn’t quite hit the mark when it came to job satisfaction. Now, two and a half years after launching his ActionCOACH franchise in Cheltenham, he’s reaping the rewards of choosing to be his own boss. In December 2018, Billy discovered ActionCOACH and he


realised it was the solution to helping businesses. He booked onto the next discovery day to meet  Co-founder an Christelow and find out more “I met with various franchise partners who were at different


stages of their journeys and, I’ve got to admit, the more I looked, the more it seemed perfect for me. Very soon it became clear that it was a no-brainer to invest in the franchise


The dream team Just over two years into his business, Billy’s income comfortably exceeds that of his time in his corporate career He and his team now work with  clients in group and one-to-one sessions With their plans to implement additional ActionCOACH programmes such as BookCB and a new women’s group ActionCACH Cheltenham is showing no signs of slowing down.
