Unmatched Experience
Impact Squared is a partnership between two social entrepreneurs with decades of experience building and growing purpose-driven businesses.
Their unique blend of commercial and charity-sector expertise comes from having supported both global companies and mission-led organisations.
We started Impact Squared to give charities and social enterprises the kind of strategic support usually reserved for big-budget organisations. With decades of experience behind us, we knew we couldn’t advise everyone directly — but we could share what we know. So we’re building clear, practical tools that anyone can use to drive impact, no matter their size or budget.
Our advisors have worked with leading commercial and non-for-profit organisations…
Impact Squared Advisors
Having built and exited our own businesses, our motivation now is in supporting for-purpose organisations.

John founded White Space Strategy, and sold the company after it was recognised as one of the UK's leading strategy consultancies by the Financial Times for 3 years running. He created and ran their pro-bono practice, supporting senior management at major charities including Shelter, British Heart Foundation and the National Autistic Society, and at many inspirational smaller charities to create impact at a more local level.
He has worked with over 20 charities and social enterprises in total, helping them create and implement strategies, diversify income streams, and grow impact.
