Burles & Co

Burles & Co is a Yorkshire-based business consultancy working with owner-managed and family-run SMEs that want clearer direction, stronger performance, and sustainable growth.

Founded by Steve Burles, who has over 26 years’ experience building, scaling, and selling businesses, Burles & Co supports companies across strategy, sales, marketing, and leadership. The focus is always on clarity first, understanding what really drives growth, where time and money are being wasted, and what needs to change to move the business forward.

Clients typically work with Burles & Co when they feel stuck, are planning their next phase of growth, preparing the business for sale, or want a trusted external adviser who can challenge thinking and bring structure without corporate fluff.

The approach blends hands-on consultancy with mentoring, combining practical frameworks, commercial insight, and real-world experience. Work is grounded in measurable outcomes, accountability, and building businesses that perform well without burning out the people running them.

Burles & Co works with clients across Yorkshire and beyond, with a strong emphasis on long-term relationships, straight talking, and doing business in a way that feels human, not transactional.
