Carra Business Development

Carra Business Development is owned and operated by Colin McLean, a leading interim manager and international business development professional based in Castlebar, Co. Mayo, Republic of Ireland. Years of experience in international business development, manufacturing, training and business optimisation have been distilled into Carra Business Development, the kind of experience which is vital in these tough economic times. I offer a range of services aimed at both large international clients and small businesses in Ireland.
If you were to ask me to give you one reason why you should avail of my services I would answer simply ‘flexibility based on experience’. The lessons learned in different and diverse business sectors, allied to my adaptive and flexible approach mean I can quickly target areas where improvements can be made.
Running a small business is difficult and stressful, but with my help the future can be clearly mapped out and attainable targets agreed. Importantly in these difficult financial times, my fees are very competitive. Small business owners can often find themselves in difficult situations which they face largely alone. You don’t have a backroom team of managers and advisors who you can delegate tasks to. Instead, you have to cope with the basics of running your business every day. There just doesn’t seem to be time to look strategically at the business, to look for better ways to do things, to find new markets or develop new lines. That is where Carra Business Development comes in. You now have access to the experience and ability as and when you need it. I offer a range of services which will ease the pressure on you and allow you to see the bigger picture. Here are just some of the services I offer:

International Business Development
Start up
Business Mentoring
Business Plans
Strategic Business Review
Process Optimisation
