About Hargreaves

Turning Strategy into Coordinated Action for SMEs

I believe that growing a business shouldn’t mean juggling chaos. I help SMEs align strategy, sales, marketing, and key operational processes so their plans don’t just stay on paper — they get executed, aligned, and delivered.

Our Story

Hargreaves (Hargreaves Marketing Ltd) was founded on a simple principle: businesses succeed when strategy and execution are fully connected.

Adrian Hargreaves has spent over 30 years working across marketing, sales, and complex commercial operations. From coordinating multi-function marketing strategies at Daniel Thwaites PLC, to managing large, multi-year accounts at Thomson Directories, and most recently helping SMEs pull together marketing, sales, technology, recruitment, and onboarding — the common thread has always been bringing things together to deliver results.

The Hargreaves Approach

I act as a fractional SME Strategic Co-ordinator, working alongside leadership teams to:

  • Translate strategic plans into actionable, coordinated steps

  • Align marketing, sales, and operational functions

  • Build internal capability and accountability

  • Ensure initiatives stay on track without the overhead of a full-time hire

Our approach combines strategic insight with hands-on coordination, ensuring that every initiative is delivered effectively, efficiently, and in alignment with the overall business goals.
