What brands are saying...

Fiona Fitzpatrick is an outstanding choice for founders wanting to upscale their teams and ultimately scale their business..."
Giles Brook
Investor
The truth is, Fiona’s programme essentially runs through our due diligence process as investors. She asks the big questions and then drills right into the detail... which is where we are as investors. Couldn’t recommend this programme more to F&B brands looking to scale their business in 2022.
Helena Murphy
MD, Raising Partners & Raising Angels
It’s been absolutely brilliant - can’t thank you enough - anyone pondering this programme it’s simple. Do it. It’s changed what the next 3 years looks like for us. Exciting times!!

It has been awesome to step back and work ON the business rather than IN it, and make changes that will have a long lasting impact

Genuinely couldn't recommend highly enough. Valuable, vast content and an absolute STEAL for the money, given you get weekly access to someone as experienced and knowledgable as Fiona Fitzpatrick. I'm just sad it's all over!

I just presented the strategy to the marketing team today based on the 6 weeks work on the course Fiona and I've never felt more competent at my job. Thank you so much for the last 6 weeks - phenomenal stuff. :rocket: :rocket: :rocket: :rocket: :rocket:

The course has been brilliant! We have far greater clarity on how to gain customers and accelerate our growth. Feel so much better equipped than I did 8 weeks ago. Couldn’t recommend it enough! It’s been a brilliant support group that I hope will continue.
