You've built a business with a good reputation but every job is harder won than the last. Margins are thinner, payment terms are longer, and the next month's work never feels certain.
Whether you're out on site or holding the office together, it's the same people doing everything whilst also finding the next client.
Every year, billions of pounds of public sector contracts are awarded to businesses exactly like yours. Since the new Procurement Act came into force, 30-day payment terms are implied into every public sector contract by law — right down the supply chain and available for SME's, meaning better margins and cashflow.
We look at your business the way a public sector buyer will: fundamentals, operations, accreditations, evidence. You get an honest picture of what's ready and what needs fixing — before it costs you a bid.
I identify the frameworks, portals and buyers that fit your business, and we get you registered, compliant and positioned to bid — in the right order, without drowning you in admin.
This is the difference. I'm not a report-writer. I act as your fractional sales director — typically one day a week — finding opportunities, writing bids alongside you, and building a pipeline until public sector revenue is real, not theoretical.
I work with owner-managed businesses turning over roughly £400k to £1.5m — All trades, facilities management and other service businesses that deliver brilliantly but have never had anyone dedicated to winning work.

I'm Stuart. I spent my career leading commercial teams before launching Set & Setting to do the thing many small businesses need and rarely have: someone senior who actually does the work not just the advising. My clients tend to describe the same thing — someone with huge experiece walking into a chaotic business and adding strategic direction, calmness and positive energy..
