Who we are

Our objective at Black Kettle which runs through our core, is for our Clients business to achieve more customers, spending more money, more of the time.

Founded by Craig Fettes. I found that strong, sound independent advice was in short supply for Clients at all levels. There was also a lack of passion or enthusiasm from those offering advice or support. So I decided to change that by investing my energy in opening Black Kettle.

On site visits you will not see a briefcase or laptop, leather note pad or hear a mobile phone ringing.

At Black Kettle we believe in listening and delivering the personal touch.
