Evoke Management

What Evoke Management does

Evoke Management is a London-based professional services firm, founded in 2015, that provides part-time senior leadership—principally Finance Directors and Commercial Directors—to UK small and medium-sized enterprises. The firm's target customers are founder- and owner-managed businesses across professional services, construction, manufacturing, technology and consumer goods, ranging from sub-£1m turnover firms to established £5m+ enterprises with 50+ employees. It serves these clients through a structured engagement methodology branded as SCOPE for business assessment, delivered by a senior bench led by Founder & CEO Rob Boll (CIMA qualified Management Accountant) and Managing Partner David Seaton (a serial entrepreneur with a credible exit to Trader Media Group/AutoTrader), supported by a bench of portfolio directors with multi-sector operating track records.

The offering is organized into three productized monthly subscription tiers—Visibility & Control (£1,500/month for businesses under £1m turnover), Growth & Improvement (£2,500/month for £1m–£5m turnover) and Scale & Transition (£5,000/month for £5m+ turnover)—alongside bespoke multi-year engagements covering exit planning, succession, Employee Ownership Trusts and business valuation. There is no proprietary software or technology platform; the underlying 'product' is the time and expertise of senior executives, packaged at a price point pitched below the fully loaded cost of a junior staff member versus a full-time executive hire.

Evoke is privately held with no disclosed external investors and operates exclusively in the UK. Customer acquisition is sales-led and consultative, beginning with a free 30-minute consultation (often booked directly with the founder) and supported by a content-and-community engine: a 100+ article blog, two podcast series (Move Your Business Forward and The Big Squeeze), regular in-person events at the London Victory Services Club, email marketing, and a referral ecosystem involving the founder-led International Leaders UK community and partners including Portman Finance, Nexa Law, Sonin, Swoop, Key Principles and Ookkee. Revenue and client counts are not publicly disclosed.
