Hamilton consultancy Inspirent expands into private sector
Inspirent has supported the Scottish Government for years but will now offer its services to private sector SMEs under the direction of chief executive Liz McCutcheon.
The firm will launch a series of one-to-one sessions covering marketing, finance, growth, and IT audits.
Ms McCutcheon said: "Almost six years ago, when I stepped into the role of CEO, I recognised a significant opportunity to evolve our business.

"With over three decades of expertise in supporting organisations, it became clear that our knowledge and approach could benefit a wider audience, particularly SMEs.
"These businesses often don't want a large consultancy firm; they need an approachable, experienced partner who understands the unique challenges they face.
"That's what we've become.
"We are proud to now offer practical, hands-on support designed to help small businesses overcome implementation challenges and drive sustainable growth.
"This shift reflects our ambition to build long-term resilience by diversifying into the private sector while staying true to our values of putting the client at the heart of everything we do."
The one-hour sessions will be delivered by Inspirent's team of business growth specialists and are designed to provide honest, actionable advice.
Sessions will be available online across the UK or in person at Inspirent's headquarters at Barncluith Business Centre in Hamilton.

Marketing audits will be led by Donna MacLeod and Keith Parsons, who said the sessions will give businesses clear, practical advice.
They said: "The audits offer a no-nonsense, expert review of a company's business activities to drive growth and success.
"For example, the marketing audits are ideal if business owners are spending time or money on marketing but not seeing results, unsure what's actually working in their current approach, or thinking about hiring help, but want to know where to focus first."
