- We were introduced to Miranda Weston-Smith via the UK Government’s Growth Accelerator scheme. On our first meeting it rapidly became clear that she has exactly the right skills and contacts to assist a business like ours. During the time that the scheme operated she assisted us with the refinement our go-to-market strategy and with fundraising. I am happy to recommend Miranda to any other company operating in the bioscience sector.deltaDOTNigel Stokes, Managing Director
- Miranda has a real gift for understanding business proposals and seeking out the core opportunity in a friendly and effective way. However, it is her ability to identify a range of very different business models and markets that I found most valuable. With the benefit of her huge experience and wealth of contacts you really feel as though you’re getting the advice of a team, not just one person.ClearSky Medical DiagnosticsDr Stephen Smith, CSO and Founder
- Miranda’s persistence in areas where I was reluctant to move forward has also led to me having a key additional resource on the Sales side. I eventually was able to understand the value this would add, and then to identify the right person from within my industry to recruit. It was a pleasure working with Miranda.

- Exhalation Technology was mentored by Miranda on the Understanding Finance for Business programme run by St Johns Innovation Centre. The company was developing a medical device and the Business Plan needed clarification on strategy, marketing and management structure. Miranda quickly identified the weaknesses in the plan and helped the team to identify the optimum route to market, and clarify marketing policies and management requirements.
