WHAT IS THE GROWTH CONVERSATION?
Through working with thousands of SME’s across all sectors we have identified recurring themes that can either propel a successful business to the next level, or equally act as a barrier to growth.
We have found that the same principles and methods apply to businesses at all stages of their life-cycle from start up to scale-up. Essentially, all businesses who want to achieve sustainable growth
run their business today as if it would be sold tomorrow.

Our story
Since incorporation in 2005, Winning Pitch has helped businesses and the people behind them grow faster and further than they imagined possible. We continue to provide trusted advice from ambitious start-up through to successful scale-up.
​In 2021, Winning Pitch became part of Newable Partnership (an employee-owned company). Newable is synonymous with helping businesses to thrive – together we are highly trusted delivery partners that government and businesses turn to when they need effective solutions designed to deliver measurable social and economic impact.
We are one of the most experienced, high growth entrepreneurial coaching businesses in the country, bringing proven business insight and powerful solutions to organisations from start-ups to FTSE 100 companies.
We bring this high growth expertise and experience to the Newable portfolio merging this with international trade, finance, innovation, mentoring and net zero support to provide fully integrated support.
​
Since our incorporation in 2005, we have served public and private sector clients in many diverse locations – from Glasgow to Cardiff, Preston to Cambridge and London to Frankfurt. We now directly address a community of over 16,000 fast growing businesses and now, combining our support with Newable Advice, we work with over 20,000 businesses every year.
For all our clients we help them deliver on their ambition, stretch their objectives and realise their true potential. Most importantly Winning Pitch is known for its passion, expert coaching, down to earth advice, fresh thinking and ‘roll our sleeves up’ attitude. We use them all to drive success and deliver results.
​
We don’t advise from afar but believe in working directly alongside people and organisations, helping them overcome hurdles, seize opportunities and exceed their ambitions.
​
Supporting the growth of ambitious entrepreneurs lies at the heart of what we are about. Helping to find their success mind-set and combining our experience in just about every area of business and any kind of industry. At Winning Pitch, we have a passion for helping entrepreneurs achieve their goals. We respect individuals and teams who risk everything to chase a dream, to achieve something they can be proud of, to create wealth for communities, jobs for graduates or innovation which improves the lives of others.
​
We have lived and breathed the growth journey; facing issues of profit versus cash, we have navigated the challenging demands of raising finance, and at times self-doubt warred with the drive to succeed. Walking the narrow path between success and failure is a steep climb but worth it when goals are achieved, and the new path is clear.
We care about the clients we serve and have a deep empathy with the growth journey – we have both the credibility and licence to speak to our clients on an equal footing and on the basis of having ‘been there and done it’.
​
Our core principles and objectives remain undiminished and have been strengthened by our joining with Newable. Together we are passionate about supporting economic growth by helping SMEs realise their full potential. As part of the Newable Group, it will allow us to build on our existing public sector contracting to help economies prosper.

Private Sector Clients
​
We have developed multiple bespoke services and training programmes for the private sector, including financial institutions and large corporate organisations
At the heart of our work with SME private clients is building and enhancing shareholder, executives and management value. Many overlook this fundamental reason for starting up and scaling a business. We ensure that our clients keep focused on value building so as at some point in time personal wealth can be realised. We encourage the philosophy of ‘run your business today as though you are selling tomorrow’.
​
For the financial institutions and large corporates, we have developed a comprehensive suite of tools and techniques that have been specifically designed to aid deeper and more impactful conversations with SME's. Challenging and encouraging business owners through thought provoking questions and visual aids, uncovering their true motives and ambitions for themselves and their businesses.
