Looking for one of the UK’s best business coaches? Warwickshire-based Kevin Riley has just been named a finalist for Business Leader of the Year at the Great British Business Awards 2025 and it’s not the first time his coaching has made national impact.
With hundreds of coaching clients across Leamington Spa, Warwick, Coventry, Kenilworth, Stratford-upon-Avon, and the wider West Midlands, Kevin is known for his no-nonsense approach to leadership, growth, and sustainable business success.
If you’re a business owner researching coaching options, here’s what makes Kevin different and why he’s being recognised as one of the top business coaches in the UK.
Why Kevin Riley Was Shortlisted as One of Britain’s Top Business Leaders
Kevin’s nomination recognises more than just impressive business growth. It honours a long track record of real-world leadership, resilience, and impact.
After scaling his first company to over £20 million in revenue, Kevin lost it to internal fraud — and made the decision to rebuild with purpose. That journey led to the creation of Coaching 360, a high-level business coaching and leadership consultancy, and ActionCOACH Warwick, a performance-focused coaching firm for ambitious SMEs.
But what truly sets Kevin apart is how he shows up for business owners when it matters most.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kevin:
-
Delivered free business webinars to hundreds of local companies
-
Offered one-to-one crisis coaching for businesses at risk
-
Personally supported leaders through cash flow, pricing, and team restructures
That work earned him a National Community Impact Award, and he’s still giving back – offering free business coaching time each month entrepreneurs in the Midlands.
During the cost-of-living crisis, Kevin has helped his clients:
-
Rethink pricing strategy and profitability
-
Build stronger leadership teams
-
Navigate burnout and rebuild confidence
-
Create clear 90-day tactical plans to grow, not just survive
“I’ve coached businesses through growth, through grief, through complete reinvention,” Kevin says. “What I care about most is making business better for people — and showing that success doesn’t have to come at the cost of your health, family, or joy.”
