A different kind of consultancy

Everything we know, we learned by building. Not by reading about it.

Over the last few years we've used AI, automation, and modern tech to solve real problems across real projects: youth unemployment strategy, operational overhauls, brand repositioning. We've built our own companies, delivered for real clients, and we're still learning and applying every day.

We started Next Up Co. because the traditional consultancy model doesn't work for most businesses. Weeks of scoping before anyone understands the problem. The person who sold it disappears. You get a 100-slide deck that sits in a drawer. We do it differently: discovery first, same team from start to finish, and a built-in check-up because we genuinely care whether it worked.

Dan

Co-Founder

I keep things moving every single day. I hold the team accountable, push decisions forward, and bring a sharp edge with AI and modern tech.

I started building businesses at 15. Ran a four-figure Facebook marketplace dropshipping business, built and sold out a boxing events company to 500+ people, and I actively invest in crypto, index funds, and stocks.

Gym, painting, travelling, and currently trying to learn the guitar.

Joe

Co-Founder

I bring ambition and positivity to the team. I'm always pushing our vision forward and finding ways to improve, learn, and innovate.

Before this, I was director and co-lead of marketing for an events company that sold out its venue, then I worked as Head of Marketing for a healthcare startup.

Gym, travelling, and experiencing new cultures and perspectives.

Charlie

Co-Founder

I'm the organiser and connector of the team. I make sure people stay aligned and that clients receive the work we deliver.

I built a social media audience of over 125,000 followers, ran e-commerce sales across 18+ countries, and led Student Showdown - a sold-out event with over 600 tickets sold.

I've travelled to 40 countries, which has helped me develop strong people skills and the ability to connect with different cultures.

Liam

Co-Founder

I'm the one who stress-tests ideas before they go through to clients for implementation.

I ran a property investment business for 4 years and co-founded a student boxing events company.

I enjoy reading fiction and keeping myself active in the gym.

Evolving rapidly, blazing ahead.

We use tools such as AI and automation to bring our clients to the forefront of modern business practice. While others are still catching up, we're already building with what's next.

Integrity as a tool for good.

We tell you exactly what stands between you and your business goals, and then we achieve them.

Outcome focused no matter what.

Our goal is to help you achieve yours. Our clients either get results or more quality consultancy, no in-between.
