CLAIRE SMITH
YOUR marketing, HR & Business coach guru
I grew up in Stornoway, where working in my family’s business, Charles Macleod, taught me invaluable skills that have shaped my career. After completing my degree, I spent six years in Glasgow honing my marketing expertise with a global shipping company and leading accounting firm, followed by a decade in Aberdeen where I expanded in to HR, earning my Chartered CIPD status. Returning to Stornoway in 2009, I launched my first business and began collaborating with Diane in 2011. With lifelong connection to small businesses, I bring a unique perspective, combining my practical HR skills with business development and marketing expertise.
As a Transformational Life Coach and NLP Practitioner, I support business owners through practical and strategic guidance, in their professional and personal growth.

Let me support you, so you can focus on growth
I work inside your team to help you at a critical time when most businesses struggle. Struggling with HR policies? Goals seem out of reach? These issues can weigh down your business, but they don’t have to.
