We are a specialist Business Development practice that has been helping clients for the last 18 years.

We deliver 'Step Change' projects that create dramatic improvements in New Sales initiatives, by finding the best opportunities at the right time imaginatively by using -


- Marketing analytics

- A mature (old!) phoning team that talk 'with' not 'to' Director decision makers

- Internally managed, 'hosted' CRM software

- A very large Companies and Emails database

- Experienced marketing Consultancy and Interim Management


So we dont just tell you how to achieve a business objective and then leave, we stay around and help deliver the result - across the Technology, Professional Services, Financial Services, Manufacturing and Distribution sectors.


I want our fees to be seen as an investment, not a sunk cost, so for me it isn't just about providing guidance, it's about helping you to get results.

So please call me personally if you would like to talk something through, or to understand how we can minimise your risk of dealing with a new partner. As they say, the buck stops here!

Success Stories

"Market Shape had a specific brief to identify new sales opportunities for us. The ultimate test of quality is what our sales team find, and we are all agreed that they met the objective, giving us no 'time wasters' and delivering us more than we had paid for to be doubly sure.
They are good people to work with"
IT@Spectrum

"We were pleasantly surprised at Market Shape's ability to quickly understand our marketplace and put in place a programme that gathered the right sort of qualifying details from the correct contacts within the target business. The immediate sales leads are looking very much like they will more than justify the outlay on the project and provide a significant return on investment"
NEC Display Solutions

"Just a note to thank you for all your help in collecting and quality assuring information on our national project to assist people on where to go fishing. This is a very important project for the Environment Agency in helping us to improve quality of life by improving awareness of angling opportunities in both urban and rural environments"
Environment Agency

"Although our timescales were very short you managed to meet our targets. However more than this, we found your ability to keep us up-to-date on performance, forewarning potential issues and your general responsiveness to questions was invaluable"
Valoris Abram Hawkes

"As a growing business, we have an increasing need to keep up with changing markets and ensure that our understanding of todays' businesses and their needs is up-to-date. In order to achieve this you have provided valuable information and insights into various markets and consistently delivered in a timely and professional manner"
Croner Consulting
