About Us

From Adversity to Business Growth

Willow Mc was founded on the belief that every business challenge is an opportunity. Stephen Dovey knows this first-hand. After facing personal and professional struggles, he transformed his life and built multiple successful businesses from the ground up.

With a deep understanding of business operations, growth strategies, and leadership, Stephen now applies his knowledge to help other businesses do the same. Willow Mc is the next step in that journey—a consultancy dedicated to guiding companies through uncertainty, growth, and success.

Our Mission

To provide practical, experience-driven consultancy that delivers real, measurable results.

A Passion for Helping Businesses Grow

At Willow Mc, helping businesses succeed isn’t just a service—it’s personal. Stephen Dovey knows the challenges of building from the ground up, having faced them himself. With Dovewell, he started with nothing but determination and a loan from his mother. Through experience, resilience, and smart decision-making, he scaled businesses like FTW Training, growing it from an £80k turnover to £2.5 million.

Beyond his own ventures, Stephen has helped businesses refine their strategy, strengthen operations, and unlock new opportunities. He takes a hands-on, honest approach, treating every business as a partner, not just a client. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your business success, Willow Mc is here to help.
