Forward Thinking, a leading Lancashire-based business coaching company founded by Andy Henderson, has reported remarkable success in its collaboration with Admiral Jet, a private jet broker based in Kent. 

With a focus on transformation, accountability, and community, Forward Thinking is dedicated to making a difference in the businesses it serves. Admiral Jet's founder and owner, David Doughty, sought out Henderson's expertise two years ago to help structure and crystallize his company's future. 

At the time, Admiral Jet was turning over a healthy £1.2m, but Doughty had ambitious plans for growth and needed guidance to achieve them. Over the past two years, Henderson and the Forward-Thinking team have taken Admiral Jet through their transformational Success GPS programme, aligning the company's vision and strategy, and building a strong team and culture. 

The results have been nothing short of astonishing, with the business tripling its revenue and quadrupling its profitability without increasing headcount. Doughty expressed his delight with the results, saying, "I'm absolutely chuffed to bits. It's brilliant having the FT team at my side, keeping me focused and ensuring I concentrate on results. I'm really excited to see just how far we can take this business." 

Henderson added: "Working with the Admiral Jet team has been really positive. They have a great vision, and they execute it with determination. It's a pleasure to be part of their journey." Forward Thinking has worked with over 400 businesses in the last four years, with customers in 30 different countries across various industries. 

The company is committed to making a difference and takes pride in working with purpose-led businesses. For more information, contact [email protected] or visit www.forwardthinking.ltd.
