TESTIMONIALS
What people say about us
“We have been accessing the advice from Stuart for the last few month in support of our sales strategy and growth plan. We have found him to be knowledgeable, approachable, and helpful with suggestions to help our company grow and build sales.”
Suzanne TrickerDirector - Amica HR & Amica Legal – Lincoln, Hull & London
“Thank you for your help and support here, it’s been good to work with you and formulate a plan for moving the business forward.”
Stephanie TaylorManaging Director - Savantini Limited - Hull
Just want to say I found last weeks “Managing Change Webinar” really interesting. It really was as if you guys were explaining everything that had gone wrong or been handled poorly by our previous management over the previous 10-15 years, each part could be related to an issue we’d had here. I always take the time to go through everything we do in the sessions with the guys on our shop floor as it helps “Getting everyone on the bus.”
Neil PrattCEO - Birch Sheet Metal Limited - Hull
“Sometimes its good to step back and assess the business from a different perspective. When Richard came in, even though our business is rather niche, he rapidly got the picture of us and the potential for our future growth. He made us feel very comfortable to be ‘ourselves’, creating a safe space and was absolutely not the stereotypical consultant. His advice, input and guidance was constructive and positive – so much so that we have significantly overachieved the targets we set and are well ahead of our plan! Thank you Richard.”
Ann KitchenerDirector - Semperfli Fly Tying Materials Ltd - Selby
