Our Story: From a Family Business to a Strategy Partner for the Ambitious
Leanor Strategy began over a decade ago as a family-run advisory group helping local manufacturers in the North of England navigate post-recession recovery. The company was founded by Eleanor Marsh, whose deep understanding of operational resilience came from growing up in a business household. Her father ran a logistics firm, and it was watching him adapt through crisis after crisis that shaped her vision of what real strategy should do: protect, empower, and evolve.
What started as informal coaching sessions around a kitchen table turned into a structured consultancy. Leanor Strategy quickly grew by word-of-mouth, becoming a trusted name among family-owned businesses and fast-growing SMEs. Over time, we attracted experts in financial architecture, supply chain optimisation, and leadership development.
Today, we serve clients across the UK and Europe — but we’ve never lost the belief that business is personal. Our approach is direct, tailored, and designed to challenge assumptions. We don’t write lengthy reports for shelves. We build frameworks that spark action.

Five pillars behind lasting partnerships
Proven business insight
Every consultant on our team has hands-on experience leading and transforming companies across various sectors. We don’t theorise — we implement what works.
Tailored strategic vision
There’s no one-size-fits-all in business. Every company we work with receives a bespoke strategy adapted to its market conditions, internal capabilities, and long-term goals.
Practical frameworks, not jargon
Our tools are designed for action, not analysis paralysis. Clients get simple yet robust frameworks to guide decision-making with confidence and precision.
Integrity and transparency
We are upfront, honest, and deeply committed to your best interest. If something won’t work, we’ll tell you. And if it can — we’ll show you how.

Rapid Response Clinics
Not every challenge fits into a timeline. These one-off, high-impact sessions are designed for urgent, sensitive, or high-leverage decisions. Whether you need to restructure a team, reprice a service, or handle investor negotiations, we bring perspective and a fast-thinking framework.
Bookable within 24 hours. Confidential. Focused.


Leadership Planning Retreats
Our off-site strategic retreats combine business recalibration with leadership development. Ideal for founders at crossroads, succession planning, or management teams needing realignment.
Each retreat is built around clarity sessions, scenario workshops, and execution mapping — away from your daily noise.

Clear Growth Architecture
Our flagship service delivers a holistic strategic plan tailored to your market, capabilities, and ambitions. We diagnose your business architecture — from revenue channels to team dynamics — and co-create a growth model that’s both scalable and robust.
You’ll walk away with a clearly defined value proposition, a mapped customer journey, a prioritised growth roadmap, and a governance framework to track progress.

Operational Recalibration
Many growing businesses outgrow their systems, people, or processes without noticing — until things break. This service uncovers operational drag, procedural bottlenecks, and misaligned roles that cost time and money.
We help redesign internal workflows, clarify ownership structures, and implement rhythm-based accountability systems.

FAQ
What makes Leanor Strategy different from traditional consulting firms?

At Leanor Strategy, we’re not interested in handing you a 100-page report that gathers dust. We embed ourselves in your challenges and work with you as strategic thinking partners.

We focus on what works in the real world, tailored precisely to your company’s reality.
Who is Leanor Strategy best suited for?

We work with founders, CEOs, and leadership teams who are ready to lead, not follow.
