The Alternative Board, Gloucestershire

About the Business

I’m Simon Wilson and I run The Alternative Board® (TAB) in Gloucestershire, helping business owners and their leadership teams transform their businesses and their lives.

The TAB approach delivers:

• Strategic Advantage: Learn from others’ experience to gain a competitive edge.
• Accountability: Stay focused on your goals through peer support and coaching.
• Creativity: Discover new perspectives and solutions.
• Confidence: Make decisions with clarity and conviction.

How? I facilitate monthly ‘peer boards’ – a committed group of 5 to 6 non-competing business leaders who support, encourage, and challenge each other within a confidential and trusted environment. Think Dragons’ Den, but with supportive ‘dragons’ helping you seize opportunities and navigate challenges and who ‘have your back’. This is backed by 1-2-1 coaching, advice, proven tools, and a global network.

With 30 years in finance and tech—from startups to global firms—I now focus on helping SME owners in Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds grow thriving, purpose-driven organisations. I’ve led teams through growth, turnaround, and investment, always aligning strategy with purpose and values to drive execution.

Outside work, I serve a local housing charity for homeless men, attend Cirencester Baptist Church, and enjoy cycling the Cotswolds—or cheering on Aston Villa.

Let’s connect and explore how I can support your business journey.
