Sam’s approach to helping businesses improve is underpinned by excellent analytical ability and outstanding commercial judgement which quickly impact on the bottom line.
Sam is an experienced director who has been building business performance for companies of all shapes and sizes, in the manufacturing, technical, financial services and public sectors for over 20 years. His particular strengths include increasing profitability through improvements in service delivery, productivity and the management of change.
This is reflected in the many cases of sustainable growth delivered from a variety of situations ranging from stagnation to turnround, including a leading bookprinter returned to £500K profit within 12 months following 2 years of substantial losses. He subsequently led another, £20m turnover, manufacturing business to a 20% increase in profit over 3 years.
As an experienced professional, Sam is keenly motivated to add value from ‘day 1’ by winning the respect and co-operation of clients. Coaching and personal development benefits often come with Sam’s approach because ‘taking a motivational approach to improving profitability makes it sustainable in the longer term.’
"Our work with you has made us look at our business differently and this is having an effect on our monthly profitability... we have now entered a new phase in the life of this business, in the way we will market ourselves, the way we price work, who we deal with and what we offer them."
