Business Doctors set to launch second operation in Scotland

Laurence Heron is the latest professional to join the Business Doctors’ network and will be supporting SMEs in the Edinburgh region

Laurence Heron has a wealth of experience from an impressive 25-year career in business. His work has taken him all over the globe, having run businesses in the UK, Australia, the USA, and China.

“I strongly felt I wanted to do something positive within Scotland, which is my original home country. Helping smaller businesses and the wider business community with my experiences and knowledge is an incredibly rewarding prospect. I enjoy helping people,” he said.

As for why he specifically chose to invest in a Business Doctors franchisee, Laurence explained: “What stood out to me about Business Doctors is that they were very genuine. And by genuine, I mean, frankly, no-nonsense. What you see is what you get. They don’t try and pad things out with fancy words, fancy rhetoric. They are just there to help businesses grow and achieve.

“I’ve done very well in the corporate sector. But, investing in the franchise allows me to downsize and run my own business, be in control of my destiny in a sense. I can now do that in a way which I find personally rewarding and enjoyable.”

Laurence believes that there is a tremendous amount of untapped opportunity for SMEs in Edinburgh, and he is looking forward to finding it.

Matthew Levington co-founder said: “Laurence is a great addition to our team, he the experience we look for in a Business Doctor and is completely on board with our ‘pay it forward’ ethos and values.”

Business Doctors has 37 operations throughout the United Kingdom and recently added Bulgaria to their international portfolio.
