Scott Fairgrieve – Fairbros Business Development
Scott is a business owner who ‘helps other business owners make profits and create more time to live there lives’. He believes a lot of business owners have not been ‘taught how to run a business’, rather they have gone from being a technician to being a business owner and being a business owner is very different to being a technician. Scott and his team help by putting in place good financials, systems, and people so the owners can get the most out of his business.
