Carlton

At Carlton, we see ourselves as trusted business advisors. We work together as a team to support our shared clients – small and medium business owners and high wealth individuals. There’s time for fun too, and we love catching up at the rooftop bar of Carlton’s iconic King and Godfree.

 

 

Our Next Meeting

At each meeting, one of the hub members is the main speaker, and gives a 10-minute presentation. They share their knowledge and insights, and help us get to know them and their business. See who’s up next and what you’ll learn from their presentation.

Your brand: Visibility > Credibility > Profitability

Learn how to leverage your brand to grow your business, build trust and boost your bottom line. I’ll share my process, real examples, and practical tips SMEs can use to improve visibility, strengthen credibility, and turn brand into profit.

Key points
  1. Visibility Creates Opportunity - If people don’t know who you are, they can’t buy from you. Brand helps SMEs cut through the noise and get noticed by the right people.
  2. Credibility Builds Trust - A clear, consistent brand signals professionalism and builds trust—essential for converting interest into business.
  3. Strong Brands Make More Money - A well-positioned brand attracts better clients, supports premium pricing, and fuels long-term growth. It’s not fluff — it’s a proven strategy.
