High growth business consultant, Stuart Ross, has joined the board of Executive Corporate Solutions (ECS), where he will lend his considerable support in advising the new company, established recently by David Ryley.

David, who also runs his well-known Ryley Wealth Management business, set up ECS to provide advice to entrepreneurs - from initial start-up advice to supplying interim directors, providing strategic advice or even putting in place an entire team. The business can also help to provide the right professionals, in order to find buyers for a company or help with transacting the sale, whether this be via a normal trade sale or through accessing venture capital or private equity.

Stuart joins ECS as a director, and will also be concentrating on the running of his own business, High Growth - the company he set up to help fast growth businesses in the UK.

Stuart thinks there are synergies between the two companies that will benefit clients.

He says: "At ECS I will be responsible for business development and delivery of high growth strategies to our clients. I bring with me my proven experience and a vast network delivered through my latest company - High Growth.

"There is no doubt that High Growth and ECS can work together to deliver the best results for our clients. ECS fills a definite gap in the market by facilitating growth through the delivery of consultancy services to the fastest growing companies in the East Midlands and beyond."

Prior to setting up High Growth and joining the board of ECS, Stuart worked as one of the top business coaches in the UK with the highly successful ActionCOACH brand, was managing director of British Land subsidiary Comgenic, and was responsible for the launch of Boots.com - as well as the launch of the Boots brand into Japan.

Stuart lives in West Bridgford, Nottingham, and is also a guest lecturer at the University of Nottingham Business School.

ECS operates from Nottingham.
