Paul Leach

Hospitality Consultant 

Licensed Broker in NSW and QLD

Hello, I am Paul Leach

 

I work with busy cafe owners to help them to grow, run and sell their businesses'

 

I grew up in the food business, my parents owned two very successful restaurants and I remember working (or a least thinking I was) in them from a very early age. All through school I knew I wanted to go in to the hospitality industry and the day that I started at College could not come quick enough.

In 1993 I opened my first Cafe called “Hogarth’s” and that is really where it all began. 

 

Since then I have built up and sold nine food businesses and loved every minute (well most of it) and learnt a lot about how the sale process works.

 

When running and selling my businesses I always felt that there had to be a better way to get support throughout the journey and that is where this business and The GSE HUB come from. 

 

I am now using the experience I gained in starting, running and selling all those businesses to help people like yourself to do the same. It works well for me as I am still involved in the industry and it helps my clients by them avoiding some of the mistakes that I made when selling my first couple of cafes – Win Win!

 

I would love the opportunity to show you more about how this approach can help you to grow, run or sell your business.

Rob Illsley

Hospitality Consultant 

Licensed Broker in NSW and ACT

Hi, I am Robert Illsley

 

I have been involved with the hospitality for all of my career. 

I spent the early part of my career working in luxury Hotel’s and Restaurants in the UK and I went on to work for one of the UK’s longest established wine merchants where I worked for 5 years. 

 

I moved to Australia with my family in 2007 and spent 6 years working for a hospitality equipment company and in 2014 I opened my own café Jardine’s which I owned and ran until we sold in early 2017.

 

 

I met Paul when I was selling my café and I realised straight away that I shared his passion for helping people to run and sell their businesses. I am now a licensed broker in NSW and the ACT and run our Canberra office.

 

 

I am passionate about the hospitality industry and I believe that with the right help everyone can have a business that is profitable, fun and successful. This is why I am so excited to be involved with The GSE Hub which is designed to help people at all stages of their journey as a hospitality business owner.

What others have been saying

Paul from GSE is dedicated and relationship focused with on point reporting system putting this company in the ahead of its competitors and business consultants. I am pleased with the service and recommend it highly.

Rison Amin

Love working with Paul and the GSE team as our business coach. We have transformed the business under his coaching. Highly recommend his services.

Jesse Gardiner

In all the noise and confusion that is running a small business, Paul is a calm and knowledgeable voice of reason.

Liz Whitehall

I was beyond impressed with Paul. From the moment we met (he came to us), I knew he was going to do everything in his power to help us.

 

He knows the process like no other, and has a professionalism unsurpassed in the industry. Also, his unique financial modelling allowed us to easily pull all the relevant information together which buyers are looking for. The marketing he and his team put together for us was very impressive, it almost made us consider not selling, he made it sound that appealing :-)

 

His new system of billing and working is awesome, and it makes it so much easier for small businesses like ours to engage real experts like Paul.

Nick Stenmark

Worked with GSE business consultants to promote our new restaurant/bar. We found Paul to be very professional & experienced in this area. Since working with GSE we have had a big increase in trade

Harry Dodson

My experience with GSE was reassuring, that businesses can still have a caring approach. My dealings were with Paul Leach, of who i can not speak highly enough. He made a lot of sense and he listened. I wish I did not find that so rare these days. 

Stephen Conry

Thanks to Paul for his insightful, logical and realistic help. Over the course of a few conversations, he was able to help me out with some very simple, yet incredibly intelligent and concise ideas as to how to go about preparing my business for sale. His customer concern was very genuine, something I didn’t find through meeting with other brokers who just treated me like another number. Can’t recommend highly enough.

James Russell

I have tried few brokers from Canberra and rob was the best he gave it 110% at all times he genuinely cares about you and the business to get the sales across the line not like other brokers in Canberra he never gives up and gets results. ..... sold sold sold :D :D :D :D :D thanks rob

Hakan Demir

Great brokerage service. Extremely effective and professional. Rob guided us through every step of the sales process - spending many hours working with us to ensure a successful result. Very reliable and personable. Highly recommend.

James Archibald

Can not thank enough specially Rob Illsley. He has been a great advise and has been in touch throughout the process. I almost gave up but he did not and made sure deal went through

Karan Talwar

Honest, realistic and hard working. Rob was a pleasure to deal with. I have no problems recommending him.
