New Business Doctor brings growth support for West & North Yorkshire Chamber members
Business Doctors is delighted to announce the appointment of Alastair Stewart as its new Business Doctor for North Yorkshire. With over four decades of experience in sales, business development, and strategic leadership, Alastair will bring deep expertise and a fresh, hands‑on approach to supporting SMEs across the region.
A proven track record, now channelled into helping local business owners
Alastair joins the Business Doctors network after a long and varied career in which he has built, led and scaled teams and operations globally. He has driven revenue growth, negotiated and closed significant deals, and forged long‑standing client relationships in sectors ranging from retail analytics to data centres and network services.
Beyond the numbers, Alastair maintains a people-centric perspective, mentoring teams, cultivating confidence in individuals, and simplifying complex challenges so that leaders can act with clarity and conviction.
As he puts it: “With over 40 years’ experience in sales and business development, I’ve led teams, grown revenues, and built strong relationships across industries from retail analytics to data centres and network services. I’ve had the privilege of working across EMEA, driving revenue growth, leading high-performing teams, and closing major deals.
But numbers only tell part of the story. What really drives me is helping people and businesses unlock their full potential. I’ve always believed in building trusted relationships, simplifying the complex, and making a real, lasting impact, whether that’s transforming a sales pipeline, guiding a leadership team, or mentoring individuals to grow in confidence and capability.
Now, as part of the Business Doctors team, I’m passionate about using everything I’ve learned to help business owners across North Yorkshire overcome their challenges and achieve their goals, without the jargon, just practical, down‑to‑earth support.”
In his role, Alastair will partner with business owners to assess their current challenges, sharpen strategic focus, and implement practical action plans in areas such as growth planning, commercial optimisation, team leadership, operations and resilience. His approach aligns strongly with Business Doctors’ philosophy of “getting on the pitch” alongside clients, not merely advising from the sidelines.
