Where It All Started...
Steve, playing for Leicester at Twickenham (the 'home' of rugby). Look... it's true he did have hair once!
As a successful former professional rugby union player with Leicester Tigers and England (England XV, England 7's, England 'A') back in the nineties, Steve Hackney was something of a perfectionist. He was used to working with systems to improve his skills. So when he began his mentoring, coaching and consulting career, he collected and logged every successful strategy and tactic he ever used to help grow his and his clients' businesses.

He created his own end-to-end business system for small and medium sized businesses ('The POWER Marketing System For Service Businesses') and sold it all over the world in 46 different countries. It was this system that attracted his now business partner Peter Finlay as Peter had an idea for a new business. Using Steve's system, they went on to build and eventually sell Europe's largest franchise consultancy before going on to develop the world's largest marketing and mentoring network for small accounting firms.
During this time, their expertise and passion has been helping the owners of service-based businesses to succeed by getting transformational results... and doing so quickly with The MACHINE and especially their 'Done-For-You Programme'.

Now along with Rob Hogarth they are changing the way service providers across the world build their businesses.
