Programme
Company-Wide Strategic Review |
Dear
Andrew,
I would like to express my thanks to you for the significant contribution
that your strategic review programme has brought to both my company
and myself as Managing Director. The impact resulting from your
direct advice and consulting surpassed my expectations. The fact
we had to defer the final element of the programme for three months,
because of your direct involvement in helping driving up our sales
volumes is clear evidence of the success of your contribution.
Your support and leadership has given us a sense of focus, confidence
and energy along with a bucketful of practical tips to improve
our selling and commercial skills. We have been very impressed
with your combination of strategic insights and hands-on operational
experience. The business performance over the last three months
has undoubtedly benefited from your direct involvement. I did
not expect to get a payback on this investment so quickly and
I am now confident that we will see a payback several times over.
Many thanks once again.

Company-Wide Strategic Review |
Dear
Andrew,
Well here we are at the end of our strategic review… Wow
have we changed! I consider this programme to have been the most
significant undertaking we have embarked upon in our company’s
short history.
Andrew, you have not only taught my co-director and I the meaning
of the term strategy, you have in fact set us free from our day
to day coping processes, towards a clear strategic growth that
not only will greatly benefit the business, it will (and in fact
has already began to) enable us to manage our business to the
next level.
Before we embarked on the review we were unconsciously incompetent
with regard to strategic business management! We are now, dare
I say, consciously moving towards business management competence.
In summary the whole strategic review process greatly exceeded
my expectations… we have changed for the better both as
company directors and as a business.
Best regards
Keven Baines - Director
Dear Andrew,
Just a few words of reflection after your help on our strategy
review - I feel you have guided us through an invaluable strategic
review of our business at a time when we were losing control.
Your ability and vision impressed us from the outset, giving us
the confidence to commit time and effort to the process, which
resulted in a much clearer understanding of our business, the
market and how to capitalise on the opportunities open to us.
Your advice and coaching has enabled us to take control of the
business and make sound strategy-led decisions.
I think this is a true reflection of the way we feel Andrew and
would be willing to share our experience with any of your new
clients considering your services.
Best regards and thanks again. Will be in touch.

Company-Wide Strategic Review |
Dear
Sirs,
We are writing to express our thanks for the completion of our
Strategic Review and to let you know the profound difference this
has made to us.
Before the review our aim was to get some advice on how we could
become more effective as an organisation and give the business
more direction and focus.
However, the benefits derived have far exceeded expectations.
Now we have clear objectives which enable everyone to work as
a team and we are confident that we can grow the business by identifying
and taking advantage of those opportunities that will help us
achieve our goals.
Not only do we have an action plan for growth we also have the
organisation structure and processes in place to manage this extra
business and raise quality standards across the company too.
We feel fortunate to have worked with Andrew on this fundamental
Strategic Review of our business. His expertise and the way in
which he applied it enriched our experience. His drive and enthusiasm
to get to the heart of the issues in our business, together with
his objectivity, kept us focused and ensured we got the most out
of the review.
He presented new concepts in a very clear and easily understood
way, and always made them relevant to our circumstances by giving
real insight into the crucial issues affecting our business and
the various approaches that could be adopted to finding solutions.
Moreover, we found the degree of flexibility surprising; Andrew
seamlessly adapted sessions to our changing priorities.
In summary we have emerged a stronger, more professional organisation
and far better equipped to take the business forward.
Yours sincerely

New web site development |
Dear Andrew
I would like to thank you for your support and professional leadership
in the recent development of our new upgraded web site www.avak-mpp.co.uk.
Your contribution has made a big difference – you’re
strategic and customer perspectives have greatly assisted us to
see out business in a very different light. Through working together
we have gained a far better understanding of how to communicate
ourselves to the outside world. We have been greatly impressed
by your rapid ability to get to grips with our design and manufacturing
world and help us to define our proposition and develop our key
selling points. We are 100% pleased with the outcome of our new
web site – not only have customers made compliments, but
perhaps more significantly our competitors have made very positive
comment. Thanks for your direction, enthusiasm and professionalism
in giving us a transformed corporate image that we feel is substantially
differentiated from many of our competitors.
Regards

New web site development

Dear Andrew,
Encoded’s new corporate website:
www.encoded.co.uk
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the assistance
you provided in the design and content of our recently-launched
new corporate website. As the main tool for marketing our company
it is absolutely vital that we get it right, and your unique insight
into the needs of our visitors has made the site extremely effective.
As a measure of its success we have had increased enquiries from
the website, and enquiries from larger companies, since its re-launch.
We can also see that it has improved our credibility, because
we have noticed that prospective clients do not ask us the simple
questions that they might have done previously.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your services
to others, and I look forward to working with you in the near
future to improve our other websites.Yours sincerely,
Hamza Whitmore

Disposal of business
|
Dear Andrew,
Thank you for your excellent professional support and leadership
through the disposal of my practice. When I decided to sell the
practice, I didn't know where to start. Your energy and approach
to the challenge combined with your extensive business experience
gave me early confidence. From the moment you completed the sales
prospectus and I saw the business professionally presented and
documented, I felt we would be successful. The final result has
proved I made the right decision. I am totally delighted with
the advice you gave me throughout the process and of course the
business disposal outcome. I feel I could not have achieved such
a positive outcome without you.
Many thanks
