Matt Stocker

Founder | Director

"Ever since I can remember, I've been driven by innovation and motivated by excellence — whether in business, design, technology or day-to-day life. By improving what already is and creating what doesn't yet exist, I believe that we achieve real, sustainable opportunities and that we build a solid foundation for our future."

The face behind the name, Matt founded our consulting firm in January 2009. Highly strategic in his focus, Matt is known for his ability to dissect complex business challenges. He specialises in enabling organisations to see the bigger picture and, as our proposition says, to build success for tomorrow — not just today.

As part of his commitment to business excellence, Matt has trained with Investors in Excellence, with whom he assesses for the Midlands Excellence Awards. He is also an Approved Consultant for UK Trade & Investment, through which he advises companies on their international strategy and the process of internationalising.

Beyond his consulting focus, Matt serves on the Warwick Business School Alumni Executive, where, for two years, he served on and headed up the Communications Working Group and he now heads up the Students and Recent Graduates Working Group. He has been an invited speaker at events held by the Midlands World Trade Forum, the East Midlands International Trade Association (emita) and Warwick Business School.
