Description

Laurence’s corporate career includes executive roles spanning several industry sectors, including advertising, digital media, publishing, automotive and pharmaceuticals.

As an entrepreneur, Laurence has spearheaded numerous start-up ventures, demonstrating a profound grasp of opportunity and business strategy. It was in 2001 that Laurence transitioned from the corporate publishing sector. After a successful three-year stint in the pharmaceutical industry, he went on to establish a thriving magazine publishing enterprise.

In 2010, he expanded his entrepreneurial endeavours by founding a full-service media agency strategically located along the M4 corridor, devising and executing media campaigns for prominent brands in retail, leisure, professional services, automotive and property.

In 2016, Laurence became CEO at David Spear Commercial Vehicles, a leading LCV dealership specialising in the distribution of new and used commercial vehicles throughout the UK and Ireland.

Under his leadership, the company witnessed unprecedented sales growth. The dealership also won several prestigious national awards. Notable accolades included the Auto Trader Digital Click Award for Business Transformation and The Institute of Sales Management’s BESMA Award for Senior Leadership Team of the Year.

When Laurence left this role, he drew on his early experience in hospitality to set up a number of businesses in the hospitality sector, whilst continuing to operate as consultant with M4 Media specialising in business management and training for SMEs.

As a business coach and advisor his main goal is to support, develop and inspire business owners and entrepreneurs to make the right choices and achieve success.

He understands the challenges, rewards and pain points having created many business start-ups, so the advice he provides is based on real life experiences. He’s always ready to listen, help and share ideas that inspire change and business transformation.

His experiences from the corporate world and as an entrepreneur have inspired him to share some of the remarkable stories that have been part of his business journey.

He has been fortunate enough to speak at international conferences and events around the world in stunning locations addressing global brands such as Kellogg's, P&G, Unum, Legrand and Armstrong. Laurence’s passion is to speak, motivate and inspire others to lead, change and perform to the very best of their abilities in their own environments.

Laurence also volunteers his time as a business mentor and continues to provide expertise and support to pre-startups, post-startups and medium size enterprises.

Laurence visited CAVC to act as a guest judge in our 'Dewi's Den' competition, providing some excellent feedback and insights to our learners, which most have taken on and explored further during their coursework. He fully played the role of Dragon and was a huge part of day's success, making the event exciting and engaging; I have no doubts on the impact this had on our students and we'd love to work with Laurence again soon!

I’ve used Laurance across several of my businesses over a number of years now and he’s been a great help especially with setting up system and processes. Jordan

I have worked with Laurence for many years. He has a wealth of experience in setting up and implementing marketing strategies and in organising events. Whilst working for our business as a consultant he was also working in higher level strategic roles in other businesses so he was able to pass on some of the knowledge he picked up there.

I had the pleasure of being recommended to Laurence as a business coach back in early 2022. Laurence is a professional in a true sense of the word. He advised me through some tough decisions even knowing they were not the decisions I wanted to make but through result were clearly the correct ones. Through the period of using Laurence my company went on to win Best Fibre Rollout Supplier at the 2023 UK Fibre Awards in a true Laurence and I have built a fantastic relationship past utilising his services. I would recommend him endlessly.

Laurence worked with us to provide some feedback to media students pitching short films and social media marketing plans; His knowledge, experience, and overall attitude made this an exciting day for learners and staff alike, providing valuable insights for the learners that have helped them consider key messaging as they progress onto filming their projects. Amazing as always!
