Franchisor Team Profiles
MATTHEW LEVINGTON
Co-founder and Managing Director
Intelligent, talented individuals who enjoy fast-paced, challenging environments make ideal business consultants and advisors. Matthew certainly fits the bill. A veteran of the highly-competitive and rapidly-evolving media industry, Matthew started his career in sponsorship and promotions at Piccadilly Radio. He quickly moved up the corporate ladder at EMAP, and was soon displaying his talents in a series of senior roles.
Matthew became Managing Director of Crash FM in Liverpool after its failed launch, and managed to reverse its fortunes by attracting the valuable (and fickle) youth market and the advertising revenues that follow. Matthew moved to Chrysalis stations Galaxy 105 in Yorkshire, followed by Galaxy 102 in Manchester, one of the UK’s largest radio markets.
Matthew revived the underperforming Manchester station with bold, carefully calculated strokes that included the appointment of a senior management team, relocation to the city centre, and a determined focus on building a profile amongst the city’s advertisers, businesses and communities.
Matthew’s relevant business experience and talent for turn-around led him to found Business Doctors Ltd with Rod. This unique opportunity to promulgate his hands- on style and to have a major impact on clients' bottom lines made Business Doctors the ideal venue for Matthew’s many competencies and talents.
ROD DAVIES
Co-founder
The Management Consultancies Association (MCA) defines management consultancy as the application of knowledge, techniques and assets to improve organisational performance and implement business solutions. With extensive expertise, diverse experience, and a mastery of proven marketing and organisational strategies, Rod Davies has the profile of a premiere management consultant.
He has spent more than 25 years at the executive level
of high-profile chemical, packaging, paper, stationery, textile and property businesses. He ran a successful paper merchant business in the Arabian Gulf. Rod was instrumental in turning around almost a dozen companies, from a £6m carpet manufacturer to a £100m division of one of the largest global integrated paper producers.
While he has proved himself exceptionally capable of helping companies to improve their performance, Rod’s personal approach and taste for getting his hands dirty makes him so much more than a consultant. Rod rolls up his sleeves and collaborates closely with owners, directors and managers, seeing to it that they get the tools and knowledge they need to succeed, both personally and professionally.
This zealous drive to advise and empower led Rod to form Business Doctors Ltd with his business partner, Matthew Levington. Rod and Matthew have crafted a Strategic Planning and Advisory service with a unique emphasis on people-led change.
