Designer and Operator of Growth Engines for Ambitious B2B Companies
Stuart Storrer builds growth engines in environments where outcomes matter.
His career has moved through five operating theatres—military command, Fortune 500 leadership, entrepreneurship, turnarounds, and now managed growth execution. The connecting thread is consistent: disciplined decision-making, structured execution, and measurable results.
Today, he leads Storrer Growth Solutions (SGS), designing and operating growth engines for ambitious B2B companies at critical growth stages—generating revenue, investors, and strategic opportunities through structured strategy and execution, not just advice.
The Operator’s Throughline
1) Military Command: Decisions Under Uncertainty
Stuart began his leadership career in the Royal Navy, serving as a Lieutenant during the South Atlantic conflict (Falklands). In high-stakes operational conditions, judgement and discipline are not abstract ideas—they are survival tools.
His professionalism during operations was formally recognised with a citation from Rear Admiral Sir Robert Gerken alongside his South Atlantic Medal.
That experience shaped the foundation of his operating style: clear priorities, calm execution, and decisive action when information is imperfect.
2) Fortune 500 Leadership: Cadence, Governance, Scale
Stuart then spent years leading at scale in major corporate environments where performance is tracked, accountable, and repeatable.
- Pfizer – Regional Business Director: responsible for a £350m territory and 500+ staff
- Nutricia – Sales Director: managed a £111m budget
- Bayer – 9 years across senior commercial roles
This stage hardened the second pillar of his approach: growth requires operating cadence and governance—clear metrics, structured rhythms, and systems that work beyond individual effort.
3) Entrepreneurship: Speed, Ownership, Pragmatism
From corporate scale, Stuart moved into building businesses directly—where the market is the only committee that matters.
As Founding CEO of Puredrive Batteries and Puredrive Energy, he led growth at pace, achieving 20%+ year-on-year growth and establishing market leadership.
This phase built the third pillar: ownership changes behaviour. Operators move faster, simplify quicker, and build what works instead of what sounds good.
4) Turnarounds: Diagnosing Leakage and Fixing Conversion
Across turnarounds, Stuart developed a repeatable pattern: most growth “problems” are actually system failures—leakage, bottlenecks, and misaligned execution.
Two examples illustrate the point:
- Mypower Ltd: conversion improved from 8% to 25% by diagnosing funnel leakage and rebuilding the execution system
- Avonside Energy Ltd: delivered performance 67% above budget by tightening targeting, cadence, and pipeline management
This became the fourth pillar: growth becomes predictable when the system is designed and operated properly.
5) SGS: Growth Engines That Produce Revenue, Investors, and Strategic Opportunities
SGS exists because most businesses at critical growth stages don’t need more ideas—they need an engine that runs.
SGS builds and operates complete growth engines for B2B companies, including:
- Deal origination campaigns (investors, buyers, acquisition targets)
- Investor outreach and fundraising support
- High-value customer acquisition campaigns
- Complete marketing and revenue infrastructure setup
- Product launch strategy and go-to-market execution
- Strategic analysis translated into execution plans
Everything SGS builds becomes a client-owned asset: the data, systems, playbooks, and operating cadence. No vendor lock-in. No dependency.
What Clients Get When They Work With Stuart
Most partners can give you strategy or tactics.
Stuart’s value is different.
He brings operator-level judgement and builds the system around it—so growth isn’t reliant on heroic effort, random wins, or fragile individuals.
Strategy without execution is theatre.
Execution without strategy is noise.
A growth engine requires both—designed and operated until it works.
