Skills. Strategy. Support. For solo and small business owners ready to grow.
No jargon. No ego. Just real progress.
Many business owners are exceptional at what they do but struggle to scale strategically, leaving them feeling stuck or uncertain about their next move,
The Progress Hub provides the structure and support needed to move forward through tiered membership options that combine practical training, strategic coaching, and a powerful community of like-minded founders ready to grow.
Clarity Cut through the noise, simplify your direction and understand what actually matters.
Build the skills, habits and confidence that help you grow sustainably.
Strategy Turn ideas into action with structured support and a plan that fits your goals.
Hi, I’m Russell and I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some of the UK’s most recognisable brands, but my real focus is helping smaller businesses where the impact is immediate and personal. My background spans strategy, operations and sales, and I specialise in giving business owners the structure and direction they’ve been missing.
My style isn’t typical “coaching.” I’m direct, practical and focused on building confidence through clarity and accountability. I help people create structure, sharpen their strategy and build momentum so they can move faster, make better decisions and actually grow without the noise, fluff or theatrics
We believe progress should feel achievable. It should feel human. It should feel like something you can build on every day.
Real stories from clients who have gained clarity, confidence and momentum through The Progress Hub.
These testimonials reflect the impact of honest support, practical guidance and structured progress.
- LJ’s Carpet Care
“I have been working with Russell for about 9 months and the biggest thing I have found for me so far has been an increase in my sales knowledge and feeling more comfortable with presenting a better pricing strategy and also making sure I stick to my gun.”
Founder & CCO - The Auction Insider & Hammered
"We’ve recently had some excellent sales training and coaching from Russell at The Progess Hub. We now have an actionable plan going forward to increase our pipeline and have had our processes simplified and automated really happy with the support we got.”
Marketing Director Social Bottega
"Russell is a true knowledge bank when it comes to sales. After every session with him, I’m able to take what I’ve learned and apply it immediately, consistently seeing real, tangible results. Sales has been one of my biggest challenges since starting my business, and working with Russell has genuinely transformed my confidence and ability in this area. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.”
- Home & Heart by Carrie
"I’ve always struggled with pricing and especially with raising my prices. I booked a session with Russell at The Progress Hub and honestly, it was the best investment I’ve made in my business. He helped me understand the real reason I was holding myself back, then gave me a clear, simple method that actually worked for me. I’ve now increased my prices successfully with just over 80% of my customers. Highly recommend.”
- Cmjits
I really enjoyed the networking event. It was well structured without feeling overly formal, which made it easy to have genuine conversations rather than awkward sales pitches. Good mix of businesses, strong engagement from everyone there, and a really relaxed, friendly atmosphere throughout. You’ve clearly built a community-focused event rather than just another “turn up and hand out business cards” setup, and that makes a massive difference. Definitely worthwhile for anyone looking to build proper local connections and partnerships.”
The Progress Hub is the place for small business owners who want clarity, confidence and direction. A place where you can talk openly, learn new skills and build momentum without feeling judged, overwhelmed or alone.
