Revenue Advisory in Stockport
Sometimes the gap is not a hire, it is a missing layer of leadership and judgement. We do this for SMEs and scale-ups across Stockport and the wider North West, with on-the-ground knowledge of the Stockport commercial market.
Stockport's commercial profile has been transformed by the Stockport Exchange and Stockport Town Centre West regeneration. The town now hosts a meaningful concentration of digital, FinTech and B2B SaaS scale-ups, plus a substantial professional services and consultancy base. Stockport's position immediately south of central Manchester gives it equal access to the city's commercial talent pool, with materially lower commercial-property and cost-base economics.

Stockport draws from the full Greater Manchester talent pool with materially lower commute friction than central Manchester. SDR, AE and mid-level supply is competitive. Senior SaaS, FinTech and GTM Engineering supply is real and growing. The cost-of-living differential to central Manchester supports senior relocation, and Stockport-based employers commonly attract Manchester-resident leaders willing to reverse-commute.
Stockport Station is on the West Coast Main Line, giving 10-minute services into Manchester Piccadilly and direct services to London (under 2hr). The M60 ringroad sits north of the town.

How we work
01
A two to four-week Strategic Revenue Audit. Interviews across leadership, sales, marketing and CS. Pipeline, forecast and CRM data review. Output is a written diagnostic with a prioritised set of interventions, not a generic playbook.
02
We translate the diagnostic into an operating-model design: structure, segmentation, role design, compensation, forecasting cadence, tooling decisions. Reviewed with the CEO and board before any change is made.
03
Working back from revenue targets, we model the headcount, ramp, attainment and hiring plan needed to deliver. This becomes the joined-up commercial plan against which decisions are made.
04
Where useful, an Evara fractional revenue leader steps in to run the change. Where the in-house team has capacity, we support from alongside. Either way the work gets done, not just recommended.
05
Monthly commercial reviews against the plan. Quarterly board pack. Annual re-plan. The advisory engagement winds down as the in-house function gets stronger; it is not designed to be permanent.
What you get
Why Evara
Local
On-the-ground in North West. We know the Stockport employer base, the talent pools and the comp norms first-hand, not from a database.
Operator-led
Every Evara partner has carried a number. Revenue Advisory engagements are run by people who have built and led commercial functions, not pure intermediaries.
Honest
If a hire is the wrong move for your stage in Stockport, we will say so. We would rather lose the fee than place a senior leader into a seat that will not work.
FAQs
Cost base, the Stockport Exchange regeneration, and a 10-minute reverse commute from Manchester Piccadilly. For SaaS and FinTech businesses pulling from the Manchester talent pool, Stockport is often a more efficient HQ than the city centre.
B2B SaaS, FinTech, digital consultancy and e-commerce, anchored by the Stockport Exchange and Town Centre West regeneration. The town has materially closed the gap on Manchester for new SaaS HQs in the last five years.
Within 3-5% at mid-level for equivalent commercial seats. At Director level, comp converges as candidates compare across Greater Manchester as a whole.
Yes, easily. The reverse commute is short and the Stockport Exchange office economics often allow employers to offer better workspace and lower commute friction than central Manchester for the same package.
A structured two to four-week diagnostic of the full revenue function: strategy, structure, process, comp, pipeline, forecast, tooling and people. Output is a written diagnostic with a prioritised set of interventions.
Most fractional CRO engagements run between 4 and 10 days per month. Heavier at the start to install the operating model, lighter once the cadence is in place.
