Our Story
Abbott Consulting was born from resilience, determination, and a deep-rooted understanding of what small businesses truly need to succeed. Its founder, James Abbott, found himself at a crossroads when life threw an unexpected curveball his way. Just one week before the birth of his first daughter, James was made redundant—a moment that could have easily been defined by stress and uncertainty. Instead, he chose to see it as an opportunity for reinvention.
Having previously owned and operated a small construction company, James knew the challenges that many small business owners face—juggling countless responsibilities, managing tight budgets, and often wearing too many hats just to keep things moving. He experienced first-hand how difficult it can be to grow a business without the resources to hire full-time staff or bring in specialised support. Out of this realisation, the idea for Abbott Consulting was formed: a flexible, responsive solution designed specifically for small and growing businesses.
​
Abbott Consulting was created with a clear mission—to offer on-demand business services that deliver real value without the burden of long-term commitments or high overheads. James envisioned a service that felt like an extension of your own team, available when needed and invisible when not. With a background spanning multiple industries, he brought together a skill set focused on operational support, social media management, digital marketing, and administrative services—all tailored to help businesses operate more efficiently and grow sustainably.
