Advisory Sessions with Amanda Wood, General Business

The Southern Business Mentoring Program offers one hour one-on-one business advisory sessions.

Amanda Wood is our General Business Advisor.

She is a senior executive, with experience leading state and national business advisory teams, but her clients have also valued Amanda’s practical, hands-on experience, managing and growing a significant-sized and complex manufacturing services business over many years, as Managing Director.

Amanda’s knowledge and practical experience runs quite deep in areas including Strategic Planning, Marketing Strategy, Business Model Innovation, Financial Analysis, Grant Writing, Mentoring, and Business Leadership. She is comfortable and effective working with clients across most industries, and has served on several significant business grant panels, which have awarded grants ranging from $20,000 up to several million $.

This self-confessed “business nerd” was instrumental in the establishment of a 'Business Enterprise Centre' in the South, in the early 2000’s, and has recently provided her advice and support directly to hundreds of individual businesses in Southern Adelaide through a Council and State Government initiative. She has served on many business related boards and initiatives.

Amanda has a strong armoury of professional and business resources and connections to bring to the table to support you and your business. She will work with you to identify some possible strategies or pathways to growth or improvement, and refer you to other advisors for additional sessions within this Program, as applicable.

Amanda balances her role in the SBMP with her own consulting and advisory practice and other business, commercial or voluntary interests, including managing marketing and other projects for her busy and ever-evolving family business.
