Matthew and Rod met at the Spread Eagle in Lymm and over a pint (or two) discovered they both shared a passion for business. The concept of Business Doctors was born and the brand was subsequently trade marked.
Business Doctors Established
Our Story
The journey began when founders Matthew Levington and Rod Davies, met up in 2004 over a beer, and discovered that they shared a passion for business support.
Having witnessed some very poor business support service being provided by both big consultancies and small independents over the years, Matthew and Rod were inspired to create something different that resonated with the market and added real value to small and medium sized businesses.
Wasting no time, the duo established Business Doctors with the aim of providing business support services to the Merseyside SME market. 10 years on, the Business Doctors network now spans across 36 UK offices.
