Built on 30 Years of Real Business Experience
GrowthFork wasn’t created by a consultant who only knows theory.
It was built by someone who has lived business — across three countries, three industries, and three decades.
My name is Murat Yilmaz, and for 30+ years I’ve built, operated, scaled, and supported businesses in:
Türkiye – hospitality and tourism
South Africa – Hospitality operations, distribution, manufacturing ,retail
United Kingdom – Property, renovation,market entry, partner development
I understand the exact challenges international businesses face when entering a new market — because I have lived through them myself.
What Makes Growth Fork Different
1. We Are Operators — Not Just Consultants
We build systems, partners, teams, logistics, and market presence.
We don’t just “give a report” — we help execute the plan.
2. We Understand Turkish South African Business Culture
From decision-making to negotiation styles to communication expectations, we know how Turkish companies think and what they value.
3. We Combine UK Practicality With Turkish Business Speed
A hybrid approach:
UK structure + Turkish agility = perfect for fast market entry.
4. We Deliver Clarity, Confidence, and Compliance
You always know:
• What’s happening
• What comes next
• What decisions you need to make
• What risks are being handled
5. Every Client Works Directly With the Founder
No junior consultants.
No outsourcing your project.
You work directly with me — the person with the experience.
