# Richard Sargeant - Business Builder & Fractional MD
Richard Sargeant is a strategic business mentor and fractional managing director based in Rowley Regis, serving ambitious founders and CEOs across the UK who want to scale, fix, or rebuild their businesses. With 30 years of hands-on entrepreneurial experience—including building Handmade Burger Co from a single site to a £30M+ national chain of 29 restaurants—Richard brings proven, real-world expertise rather than theory.
He works directly alongside founders to sharpen strategy, strengthen teams, and unlock sustainable profit growth. His approach spans six core pillars: clear vision and actionable strategy; financial control and pricing optimisation; customer positioning and marketing; leadership and culture development; operational efficiency; and funding or exit planning. Richard doesn't just advise—he rolls up his sleeves as a hands-on partner, combining commercial acumen with practical problem-solving.
What sets Richard apart is his track record of building, scaling, and exiting multiple seven and eight-figure businesses across hospitality, estate agency, and property development. He understands the real pressures founders face because he's faced them himself. His clients gain access to someone who speaks from experience, not textbooks, offering profit clarity, market positioning, team building, and strategic momentum. Richard offers flexible engagement options including fractional MD support, one-to-one coaching, and a free 24/7 Ask Richard service for founders seeking immediate guidance.
