Business strategy consultancy, SUMMIT, has expanded its footprint into North West Yorkshire, marking a key step in its growth across the North of England. The company, which launched in 2024 following the merger of Forward Thinking Brand Strategists and Latitude Marketing, offers a robust combination of business planning, marketing strategy, and creative solutions.
To lead the expansion, SUMMIT has appointed Steve Hanson as Franchise Managing Director and Business Growth Guide for North Yorkshire. Steve brings a wealth of experience from his successful journey as the founder of Callidus Health and Safety, which he established and later sold in 2024. With his practical knowledge of scaling a business and overcoming the challenges faced by SMEs, he is well-positioned to help local businesses navigate growth using the firm’s Success GPS strategy framework.
Steve’s extensive background in both business and sport provides him with a unique perspective on decision-making, which he aims to share with entrepreneurs in the region. His focus will be on enhancing business agility and driving customer-centric growth for small and medium enterprises.
This expansion further strengthens SUMMIT’s regional presence and signals an exciting new phase for the business as it continues to foster impactful change in the UK’s business landscape.
