How Adam Botterill Helps Blackpool Businesses Scale with Confidence

After catching up with Adam Botterill, Growth Specialist at the Blackpool Growth Business Academy, it was clear why senior leaders trust him to strengthen their business strategy and accelerate their growth.

Adam Botterill Profile Pic.

From the Royal Marines to managing director roles, Adam has built his career by immersing himself in every aspect of business life. He’s held leadership roles in sales, operations, and transformation, worked with a £50m+ turnover business, and led the complex merger of an American and European firm. He has also launched his own tech start-up with his own savings. It’s this breadth of experience that makes him a powerful mentor and coach to both scaling businesses and start-ups in Blackpool.

This blend of global commercial experience and first-hand startup experience is what makes Adam a popular and trusted mentor at the Blackpool Growth Business Academy. Adam coaches and mentors ambitious business leaders, offering insight and clarity through a grounded, human approach.

“I recognise that leaders are specialists in their own business, and I work collaboratively with them. I am here to coach and mentor, to offer confidence, and support to help guide them through the process.” 

Strategic Support for High-Aspiration Businesses

The Blackpool Growth Business Academy supports Blackpool based businesses looking to grow with intention. Many are facing complex decisions, Adam helps to approach these decisions strategically, with clarity and confidence.

With experience spanning everything from business school to managing director roles and leading multi-million-pound transformation projects, Adam understands the growth journey at every level. He helps business owners shift from reacting to leading, from feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day operations to thinking strategically about what comes next. His experience includes a scholarship at one of the world’s leading business schools in Belgium and managing strategic change across multiple departments, including marketing, commercial finance, and operations.

Adam has worked with a range of businesses from early-stage entrepreneurs to experienced business owners looking to strengthen their model, create strategic business plans, prepare for investment, and grow with intent. Whatever the challenge, Adam brings both commercial precision and an instinctive understanding of people and business.

“Some of the businesses I work with are doing great, but they want to do greater,” he says. “That’s where I come in.”

Real Stories, Real Results

What stands out most about Adam’s approach is how much he genuinely cares about those he supports. He is a natural problem-solver and is fascinated by how businesses operate. He thrives on meeting new people, learning how they think, and helping them succeed. When we asked him about his proudest moments he talked honestly about the lives he has helped to change.

Adam says “The reason I do this is to see business leaders and owners realise that they now have someone who believes in them and their business, and to be that person who is going to help and guide them. I’ve helped owners stuck in inflexible jobs move into owning their own successful businesses. And business leaders open up international markets and bring manufacturing in house.”

Coaching with a Personal Edge

Adam’s approach is shaped by his own journey, following being mentored by someone who helped him see his own leadership potential. That experience is what inspired him to offer this kind of transformational support to others.

He balances coaching and mentoring: encouraging business leaders and owners to explore their own ideas, while offering direct, practical advice. Adam explained his own analogy of the cloud and the vortex: “The cloud is your vision; the vortex is everything that spins around it. My job is to help owners stay above the whirlwind and move toward what they’re really trying to build.”

And perhaps what makes Adam most relatable is this: he’s been through the stress, the fear, and the sleepless nights of building a business himself. He understands the psychology of business, the self-doubt, the external pressures, the balancing act, and knows how to stay focused when things get hard.

“Nothing fazes me,” Adam says. “When you’ve been through the real stuff, you learn how to move through the fear and stay focused. That’s what I want to pass on.”

For ambitious businesses in Blackpool looking to scale, the Blackpool Growth Business Academy can help. Adam is one of a number of hand-picked transformational growth specialists who are sharing their years of commercial wisdom and personal business experience to help Blackpool businesses grow and scale.
