Meet Liz & Mark Hoyland
After soon realising that building a healthcare business is going to need commitment and discipline, they both rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty!
They have turned ideas and plans into action, creating reliable systems, and are now more organised and prepared for any curve balls that may impact the business whilst staying in line with their values and vision.
They are stronger and resilient as a result and ready to take their business to the next level of success.

The Problem:
The podiatry courses don’t teach you how to run a business!
It’s a hard lesson once you set up a practice to realise how little being a good practitioner has to do with successfully running a business!
It was tough work. We felt like we could never relax and we didn’t know how to measure ourselves against other practices.
The Solution:
The Outcome:
The Future
One of the Hive resources that really struck home for us was a table showing how businesses progress from mediocre to lasting greatness. We’ve ticked lots of these boxes, but we’d love to create a business which is a hiring magnet.
Outside the Practice:
Our sons are in their 20s now, and we love doing things like going on a kayaking weekend or booking a holiday with them. Our next holiday will be to an island where we can dive, snorkel, bush walk and kayak.
Liz and Mark are committed to the work and prove that a little bit of progress every day adds up to big results.
Keep up the incredible work!
