Biography

Graham Knight

I have experience of both public and private sectors. I started my career in the Ministry of Defence before moving to the private sector. I have worked at a senior management level (top 5%) in a large blue chip (turnover >£1bn), a start-up to sale of a Technical Consultancy and was then head-hunted into a large international SME (turnover >£60m). I have over 16 years experience as a registered Company Director and have considerable international experience too having been a “frequent flyer” and have lived in the US, Geneva and Brussels.

In January 2005 I set up my own Management Consultancy and have worked for many of my clients now for more than 4 years.

The Institute of Independent Business (IIB)

I became an Accredited Associate of the Institute for Independent Business in January 2005. The IIB is the largest organisation of its type with over 3500 highly skilled Executive Associates having been accredited, working with many thousands of businesses mostly within the Small to Medium size Enterprise (SME) sector in more than 20 countries across the world. Unlike large organisations and corporations, SMEs generally lack the resources to build a management team of professionals experienced across a range of business critical disciplines. In fact, the burden of maintaining and growing a successful independent business is generally limited to a very small number of owner directors / partners. Sometimes this falls on just one person. With so much to do and with limited resources, many feel frustrated at the ever-increasing demands being placed upon them.
