Business Doctors Matt Levington, and Graham Robson with One By Uspire Partners welcoming new Business Doctor Alastair Beveridge

With over 25 years of experience leading transformation in major global organisations, Alastair Beveridge is excited to announce the launch of his new venture as a Business Doctor. In this role, he will work with business owners in Bath, South Gloucestershire, and West Wiltshire to unlock growth, navigate challenges, and help them realise their commercial goals and personal aspirations.

Alastair’s impressive career includes senior roles at Zurich, Ernst & Young and AXA UK, where he served as a Programme Director and strategic change leader. Drawing on this deep expertise, he brings a rare combination of analytical rigour, real-world business insight, and a passion for practical, results-driven solutions.

“My mission as a Business Doctor is to help local business owners grow their businesses and fulfil their aspirations—whether that’s scaling operations, improving profitability, or simply giving them more freedom to enjoy the life they have built,” said Alastair. “I will be working closely with them to uncover the real challenges and help put in place steps to help them move forward with confidence.”

Alastair thrives on solving critical business problems, helping owners reset, refocus, and move forward with clarity. His approach is collaborative and grounded in the reality of running a business, offering practical strategies tailored to each unique situation.

“Alastair has the perfect blend of experience and humility that we look for in a Business Doctor, and we are delighted to welcome him to our growing team,” said Matthew Levington (managing director).

Outside of his professional work, Alastair is a dedicated supporter of grassroots sport. He spends his spare time coaching a youth rugby team and supporting a junior cycling team, championing the role sport plays in building stronger, healthier communities.

Business owners seeking to navigate challenges, scale their operations, or gain a fresh perspective are encouraged to connect with Alastair for an introductory consultation.

Among these bustling enterprises, the demand for strategic support and specialised business guidance has never been higher. Local business owners are seeking more than just survival; they seek growth, sustainability, and a competitive edge.

Raphael Fiorentino - New Business Doctor for Somerset.

Seasoned businessman Raphael Fiorentino has joined forces with the national SME support network Business Doctors, bringing his unique skills and experiences to the table.

Raphael will be operating his new business, Business Doctors Somerset, from rural Somerset, his home county. In this venture, he will be collaborating with two other established Business Doctors, Richard Tidswell (Avon & Somerset) and Paul Neck (South West), to provide comprehensive support to SMEs in the region.

After four careers spanning 35 years as a chemical engineer, strategy consultant, investment manager and most recently fintech entrepreneur, Raphael sees Business Doctors Somerset as his way of ‘paying it forward’.

“However gifted and lucky as a founder, however foresighted and resilient as a managing director, however competent and considerate as an executive, everyday SME leaders get to ride this emotional rollercoaster called entrepreneurship. I have been on this rollercoaster and have many a mentor and adviser to thank for seeing it through”.

“As a business “doctor”, one of the “procedures” I most look forward to is to deliver business valuation “booster shots”! By which I mean working with SMEs on building up well ahead of time the business fitness that will ultimately lead to their smooth exit at the desired price.”

Raphael had his 15-minutes of fame as a sportscar racing driver but now accepts that “the older I get, the faster I was”. He however remains very active when it comes to cycling and tasting fine wines.

Managing director and co-founder Matthew Levington said, “We are delighted to welcome Raphael to our close-knit network. He certainly has the experience we seek in a Business Doctor, and he is ready to ditch his corporate identity and roll his sleeves up to help others.”

Raphael can be contacted here.
