There’s no doubt about it – business is tough at the moment. And trying to figure things out on your own can really slow you down.
Sometimes all it takes is a conversation with someone who’s been where you’ve been to help you move forward.
Hi, I’m Catherine Cooke – Founder of The Engine
I built my first company from the ground up, to multiple companies with a staff number of 90. I almost lost everything when another business venture was derailed by circumstances out of my control.
It’s safe to say I understand growing pains and adversity well and have seen what happens when a business goes well … and not so well.
I’ve been a business advisor for the last seven years, with an extensive track record in helping businesses grow.
I’m absolutely passionate about seeing businesses thrive, so I’ve pulled together a team of very talented Business Advisors. Advisors who have walked in your shoes as business owners and built the kind of company you want to build or grow – many times.
Together we’ve helped hundreds of businesses grow and have supported many through the COVID turmoil.

What The Engine’s helped other businesses achieve

We invested in products destined for airports and airlines and we know what happened there. In came Catherine. She just knows everyone, she doesn’t procrastinate and her background in business has been hugely helpful.

We’ve accomplished quite a few things through collaboration with other businesses. Catherine has introduced me to many businesses. The whole business has grown and we’ve cemented in some really good stuff.
