About Us
Business growth advice, direction and support
The Maple Agency helps businesses to put down strong roots and grow quickly. We’re experienced entrepreneurs and emphatic enthusiasts
"The world wasn't supportive of women in business so I had to be determined."
Our founder Sarah Agar-Brennan makes things happen, normally against the odds. With 25 years’ experience in multiple industries, starting her first business in Stockton on Tees aged 20, she’s brought down her fair share of barriers. She’s cheerful but determined, warm but resilient, and obsessed with proving the world wrong.
"I believe we are a product of what life throws at us."
Having learnt that anything actually is possible, Sarah founded The Maple Agency to empower and uplift other entrepreneurs. She strengthens her clients and their businesses by providing nerve, empathy, inspiration and expertise. She’s a proven pro, with multiple awards and accolades to her name, a trail of start-ups inspired by her services and public speaking, and most importantly, she’s addicted to seeing dreams come true.
"There's something about that lady that's really remarkable."
(Tej Lalvani - BBC2 Dragons Den, Business Entrepreneur and CEO of Vitabiotics)"
Sarah and the agency provide business development services underpinned by the principles that have guided her throughout her life and career: honesty and pragmatism. That approach wins her the trust of her clients, but also won the hearts of the nation when she appeared on Dragons Den in 2017 and won three offers of investment.
"I know how it feels to have someone by your side who gets it."
