Allowed me to grow

I've really enjoyed working with Roy over the last few months. He's been flexible, honest, asked me great questions and allowed me to grow in the areas I know I've needed to.

I really feel I've taken big steps forward under Roy's guidance and I'm looking forward to seeing where that takes me.

I intend on carrying on my relationship with Roy, which I believe says everything you need to know.

Roy - what a guy.

I met Roy through Aston Business School. Despite being a Sales supporter :-) we established a great relationship with him supporting me as a coach. With his support and guidance I have developed skills to give me more confidence to go out engage with people and win work and grow my business. His visual images enable me to think in a strategic way.
Big thank you Roy.

Business growth strategy

Roy has been working with me to develop a growth strategy for my graphic design and branding business. Through my time with him, I have gained clarity and direction, with a real focus on what can be achieved and how we can get there, as well as increased self confidence in my own abilities to reach these goals. Roy's encouragement to dream big, his energy and knowledge have given both myself and my business a huge boost. I would highly recommend.

Roy and his team are exactly what you need....

Roy and his team are exactly what you need to "see the wood for the trees" when raising funds. Clear concise advice and support from seasoned professionals in shaping and forming documentation and steerage through the entire process. It does what is says on the tin and puts other consultancies firmly in the shade. Thank you and good effort.

Sound positive advice

I met Roy through the Aston Growth Hub where he was introduced as my mentor. In difficult times (COVID 19) Roy helped me develop and expand the FPM Growth Plan. Roy offers sound positive advice around business strategy and with his experience of the world of business second to none I know I will benefit from our time together. Roy's easy going personality and manner put you at ease therefore allowing you to relax and perform to your best.

I would highly recommend working with and listening to Roy.

Thank you very much

Roy's advice has been invaluable

Roy's advice has been invaluable. He got straight to the heart of things and readily shared his knowledge and ideas. He has guided my strategic thinking as well as clarifying practical, day-to-day implementation. I consequently have a much clearer plan for growth.

Fantastic Mentor

I met Roy through the Help to Grow Scheme at Aston University.

We had 10 hrs of mentoring sessions and I can't believe how much I managed to take away from each and every session. There was never a session where we struggled to fill the hour!

Roy has helped me to broaden the scope of my skills as a Finance Director and I have come away with a much greater understanding of how finance can help to drive sales in our business.

I am missing our sessions now but I know that Roy would be happy to hear from me if I needed to reach out.

Roy Shelton - Amazing Mentor

As Director of Sales Bond, a start-up SME, I have been like a rabbit in the headlights when it comes to finding good, honest, practical advice. I met Roy Shelton from Dropjaw via Aston Business School, he is my mentor. What Roy achieved in just the first 4 hours of time allocated to me completely bowled me over - and is continuing to do so. It is not just his knowledge and skillset that makes Roy special; it is his management style and people skills. He just "gets it". I feel extremely privileged and fortunate to be part of Roy's network and would highly recommend him and DropJaw Ventures to any business that wants to grow to the next level.
