IT ALL STARTS WITH A STORY.

Remember your first day at a new job? GDPR, contracts, health and safety policies...

For Mark Preston, starting at a large international development agency looked a little different. Within hours of beginning his new role—through a series of unexpected and amusing events—Mark found himself in Lomé, the capital of Togo, West Africa.

The image opposite was captured during that trip. It’s a story Mark has shared many times, and perhaps one day he’ll share it with your team too.

But the most important takeaway from that journey is this: Injustice and inequality are often hidden, yet ever-present.
For businesses and non-profits alike, there is immense potential to counter these forces—doing good work, making a meaningful impact, while also achieving profitability and caring for customers and teams.

At Start Bay Enterprises, we believe in empowering organisations to meet this challenge. Whether it’s:

  • Working with CEOs and executive teams to shape purpose-driven leadership,

  • Helping fundraisers and sales teams craft stories that resonate deeply, or

  • Developing sustainable strategies for long-term growth and resilience,

We are here to support you in serving your customers, supporters, and communities.
