Leader of the Year Award Sponsor
Chalkhill Blue is a leading advisory and business coaching firm helping ambitious SME leaders gain clarity, confidence and measurable results. Working with founders, owners, CEOs and Managing Directors, the firm provides board-level advisory and practical coaching to support the decisions that shape long-term business success.
From growth and scale-up to transformation, acquisition, funding and exit, Chalkhill Blue guides business owners through the moments that matter. Every advisor is a business owner themselves, with first-hand experience of launching, buying, growing, scaling, transforming and exiting businesses. That lived experience brings commercial realism, empathy and credibility to every engagement.
The firm was founded to address a gap in the SME advisory market. While many advisors rely on theory, Chalkhill Blue blends proven frameworks with real-world insight, helping leaders navigate pressures around cash flow, people, performance, scaling and high-stakes decision-making. The result is advice grounded in reality, not observation.
Their mission is simple: to help SME leaders make better decisions, faster and with confidence. Through strategic advisory, business coaching and board-level insight, Chalkhill Blue has supported more than 500 businesses, unlocked over £250m in enterprise value and delivered more than 15 years of impact across the UK.
Covering growth coaching, scale-up support, transformation advisory, exit and EOT preparation, acquisition strategy, funding advisory and non?executive appointments, the firm takes a commercial, practical and outcome-led approach. Clients describe Chalkhill Blue as partners rather than consultants — challengers who bring fresh perspective and deliver tangible improvements to performance, confidence and enterprise value.
Chalkhill Blue is proud to support TBE Awards 2026 and to sponsor the Leader of the Year Award, celebrating exceptional leadership across Bath, Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire.
