WHO WE ARE

And why we do what we do

BUSINESS AS A FORCE FOR GOOD

I’m Ollie, founder of Enterprise Orchard and it’s first graduate. I know this journey well.

Born in a mud hut in Thithithagal, a small rural village in India, I grew up in the 80s watching my mum, fluent in Tamil, use business as a force for good as she pioneered Fair Trade organic cotton, with Bishopston Trading Co AND transformed the South India village in the process.

We went back and forth to India throughout my childhood, so I’ve seen first-hand the difference business can make to people and communities. Her drive inspired mine. Her commitment motivated my vision.

Since 2018, over 200 floundering founders have arrived at my door. For them, I’ve raised over £4 million and shared in their delight as they flourish and fly, building 6-figure businesses that do exactly what they want them to do.

Then Enterprise Orchard hit a ceiling. It was stuck, dogged down in the day to day operations. I realised the only way forward was delegating, automating and trusting other people. This was transformational.

Everything I learnt, I share with founders, guiding them through start-up swamp.

Are you ready to embark on a journey to reach 6-figures in turnover?

I’m ready to grow my business
