“Jeremy’s insights and experience in assisting Lightning Hub around our non-for-profit structure and funding options helped us gain plenty of connections and opportunities to seek funding and partnerships to help grow what we do and build the innovation community here in the Eastern Bay of Plenty. Now we are a fully registered Charitable Trust and on our way to success.”

“As a small trade-based business owner, I found myself in a difficult but all too common situation, one of feeling lost, unable to clearly see a way to success and burdened by the many weights small business ownership can have. That is until I had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy Bendall at a small business forum in 2022. This chance meeting opened my eyes to the opportunity that existed, business coaching & mentorship.

With a professional yet charismatic approach, Jeremy reviewed my business offering a full health check. Following this, we put in place a business plan with quarterly goals and budgets. Jeremy not only brings his positive, vibrant personality but a vast wealth of knowledge and expertise in the financial advisory and business development sector. Working with Jeremy has given me not only the tools to succeed in business, but he has given me a boost of confidence and self-belief, that no goal or business aspersion is too high. Indeed, he has set the path for success and offered guidance along the way, helping me achieve my potential.

I firmly believe all businesses need a mentor and advisor. You don’t need to struggle on your own anymore, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Bendall Advisory“

Owner & Director, Carpets & Critters

“Bendall Advisory’s recent workshop that I attended, was informative and valuable. It was evident that Jeremy has a vast array of knowledge in the governance and capability of organisations, profit and non-profit. I would recommend attending Bendall advisory workshops if you are looking to improve the capability of your organisation and achieve better outcomes.”

“Jeremy’s extensive knowledge of effective governance in organisations and good financial practice was most helpful to the deliberations of this Committee. Subsequently it was his knowledgeable, pleasant and patient approach that was critical in persuading the various tennis Associations and Affiliates to support the six-region model for tennis in New Zealand. It was my pleasure to work with Jeremy on the Maiden Committee.”
