Forward Thinking Ltd, the North's premier business coaching firm, has been engaged by Bowland IT to spearhead the company's growth plans through 2023 and beyond.

Bowland IT, a successful local IT firm, has navigated the challenges of the past few years and is now poised for significant growth under the guidance of Forward Thinking Ltd.  

Oliver Alcock, founder of Bowland IT, believes that now is the right time to push forward. He credits the transformative work of Andy Henderson and the Forward Thinking team for the company's renewed clarity, vision, and focus.

"Working with Andy is an extraordinary experience," says Alcock. "The light bulb moments that kept happening over and over during the transformational programme now play a prominent part of Bowland IT’s blueprint for the future growth and success plans. Thank you to Andy and his team at Forward Thinking for your work so far; we have such an exciting future to look forward to." 

Andy Henderson, founder of Blackburn-based Forward Thinking, praises the Bowland IT team as an inspiration. "Oliver's plans for the future are really exciting, and the difference his team will make with their 'Triple-A' Approach will ensure that all Lancashire-based SMEs can leverage the power of modern IT to enable their growth," says Henderson. 

Forward Thinking has been in business for five years, with a dedicated team of five professionals focused on helping socially conscious business leaders grow their businesses and make a significant impact on the lives of their employees, customers, and communities.
