Expertise and Consulting Specialisations

GROWTH STRATEGY

Working out your business's goals is a good place to start; whether these metrics are financial, based on market share, or are a more esoteric metric, this is the starting point. How will you ever achieve your goals if you don't know what they are?

For larger companies, this is usually something the board of directors work on regarding goals, objectives and performance indicators - they then task the CEO to work with the management team to deliver. In smaller businesses, directors and owners are usually part of the management team and usually the person(s) in charge, so the process needs to be altered slightly to deal with this multi-layered stakeholder accountability, this is where we provide expertise.

We take a project management approach to help design a regularly reviewed, concise, achievable, prioritised and flexible growth plan.

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

The key to any growth plan is growing sales through market or product development.

We understand the importance of this function in your business and have considerable experience establishing and developing markets and products for clients. We have strong expertise in opening distribution channels in the Asian and European markets and trading directly with retailers globally for the supply of branded, private label and buyer's own brand products.

ADVISORY AND GOVERANCE

Growing businesses, especially owner-operated businesses, need good independent advisors. We act as a sounding board for our clients regarding their broader business, advising on things such as business structure, resourcing and funding (capital raising and crowdfunding).

For SMEs wanting to put in place independent governance and executive management, we can work with you on structuring this to best fit your business needs and structure, as well as giving you an understanding of how this will work in your business and the disciplines needed to successfully integrate it.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

In the modern world, sustainable credentials are becoming commonplace requirements as gatekeepers choose to edit their product offerings and consumers support products and companies with ethical integrity.

At a business level, most of these credentials can be defined within an ESG framework.

Strong experience in compliance, sustainability and ethical certification, combined with an understanding of gatekeeper choice editing and marketing of sustainable products, means we have a unique ability to review and advise on sustainable development for your business.
