Success at Business Excellence Awards 2024

John McHale, from ActionCOACH, scooped up the award for Best Client Results for Europe, Middle East and African, at the Business Excellence Awards 2024 for the fourth year running. John, attended the annual awards to celebrate the success of both its network of business coaches and the thousands of companies supported around the world.

John said: “I was stunned to be announced as the winner of the Best Client Results category for the fourth year running. To also see three of my clients win their categories and several being finalists was amazing. It’s great to see Lincolnshire leading the way, and my personal success with this award is testament to all the great things achieved by my clients in the past year.”

John supports business owners to envisage and achieve their goals. This includes one company progressing from a standing start to turning over £5 million in three years under his mentorship. John has helped clients – who range from engineering specialists, funeral directors, retailers and hospitality – think big and achieve their dreams. He puts his success down to not just his business acumen, but also his passion for helping others build their businesses.

“It’s because I care,” he said. “I can quickly get to the root of complex problems, and support my client with identifying the solutions, along with devising a plan for how to fulfil their goals. Sometimes, I believe in people more than they believe in themselves. It’s about transferring that belief, and helping them develop the courage they need to succeed. That’s when amazing things start to happen”.

“Working with SMEs is so enjoyable, I get to work with different people and teams every day – it’s fabulous. Working with me, you get a marketing director, sales and finance director, training coordinator, partner, confidante, mentor and friend, all focusing on you and your success. Winning these awards is a huge recognition of the effort and work put in by all of our clients, as well as my team.”
