RUNWAY
ADVISORS
My unfair advantage
I can’t help you with everything. Sometimes you need specialist expertise and support. That’s why you don’t just get me – you get a comprehensive and powerful network of more than 50 hand-picked, high-calibre experts in every field you could possibly need.
I set up Runway Advisors in 2019 so that, when you connect with me here, you are connecting with a one-stop shop of 360 degree support. Think of us as your walking LinkedIn. Any change is possible when you have everything, and everyone, you need.

Because fifty brains are better than one.
And because business is better – together
Together we cover…

“Ed Wood and his team have been crucial as we gear up to launch our new art technology business. Taking a novel product to market presents huge practical challenges, but Runway Advisors have helped us navigate this process from presenting our ideas effectively through to getting the finance we need”
Dr Nicholas Eastaugh – DNEA Ltd
“I want to thank you, Ed, for your great kindness to all who are at Trowbridge. We are very grateful to you for helping us to bring out the best in both the people and the business. Thank you for your time, your care and your considerate execution in all that you do.”
Louise Trowbridge – Owner, Trowbridge Gallery Ltd

Together we will find the right solution for your business
“I had been mainly handling valuations, sales and purchases at Crispian Riley-Smith Fine Art Ltd – the third business I have established - working with associates when projects dictated the need for that - but I was frustrated in not getting any real growth beyond the next transaction, and not having robust financial management information to enable me to take quality decisions. I then met Ed Wood with whom I worked on a new business focusing on growth, and out of this I had the idea, and discussed the establishment of the fourth business, Art Advisory Group Ltd – the setting up of a team of like minded professionals in the art world, each with a different specialism, who could come together to work on projects and share fees. Ed introduced some of his Runway Advisors to assist here, including in the building of a first class financial budgeting system with regular reporting and reviews. Under Ed’s expert guidance, I have been able to avoid the many pitfalls involved in establishing an operation, which will stand me in good stead for years to come. Within a few months of setting it up, Art Advisory Group can boast many specialists, is growing significantly and its first contract was substantial. As an entrepreneur I am instinctively impatient and want to get on with things, but building a business, brick by brick from the ground up, is vitally important. I would highly recommend Ed and his team to anyone setting up, recovering or growing a business”.
Crispian Riley-Smith - CEO and Founder, Art Advisory Group Ltd
“My company falls into the ‘business growth’ category, and since we met, Ed has been cheerfully batting balls back at me “from the other side of the net” (as he would put it), bringing his many years of commercial experience to the fore, and encouraging me to make the changes to the way I run my business that I would otherwise probably not be making. He has also introduced me to various members of his extensive network of advisors and professional services. I have already recommended him to others in a similar situation to mine.”
