Dear Andrew ,
I thought I would write to you to express my appreciation for your services to date. It's always pleasing to get one of those experiences that does "exactly what is says on the can!" - Working with Advancing Business has been one of the most positive and productive business initiatives I have ever undertaken.

At our first meeting I explained my goal was to grow the company. I said that the ultimate measure of success from the service would be revenue and profitability growth. I have just reviewed the figures and during the period of your support as Non-Executive Chairman, turnover has grown 800% and profitability even more. Your combined strategic and commercial input has helped us enormously and I too have personally learnt a lot during the engagement. Your breadth of business knowledge and experience along with your continuous openness, support and availability to our needs has been simply invaluable.

I feel MobileLocate is now much better equipped to become the UK market leader in mobile phone location services. We have a much more focused marketing strategy that has created significantly better customer targeted propositions, more effective pricing plans and improved channels to market. Our confidence and ambition to develop the business has grown even further, whilst our skill levels continue to grow and grow!.
Thanks so far...

Mission Statement "Solutions Training & Advisory aims to become a UK leader in the provision of Risk Management Training Solutions for selected Health & Safety learning programmes to the Public and Private sector".

Dear Sirs,
Andrew started work with Solutions Training & Advisory ltd in the Spring of 2004 to perform a “Strategic Review" on the company that has traded since 1992. I was initially very sceptical about this as a previous adviser some three years ago was unable to make any meaningful contributions to the growth of the business. However after our first meeting I was persuaded that Andrew had the skills to help us grow the company.

That initial process has now finished and we have a robust plan which provides us the springboard to raise additional finance which will guide us to the growth that we seek.

Andrew has proven to be particularly helpful: -
- Providing energy, confidence, support and powerful sounding board to the Managing Director.
- Developing a very useful business planning framework
- Providing a very effective coaching role to the Business Manager and Director in the development of the business plan
- Enabling the Director to finally realise the need to remove himself from the day to day delivery and management of the business.

Andrew has been able to combine his business experiences with excellent interpersonal skills that have motivated all of the staff at Solutions. The outcome has exceeded my expectations and we are looking to extend our relationship with Andrew in the future with chairman services.
