Professional Services

After a career working in Professional Services, Mervyn Stanley knows what it takes to grow your Accountancy or Legal practice.

Bringing in new clients is essential to the health of every professional services firm. And nothing is more central to the success than an effective business development strategy.

"It's essential that professional services firms identify opportunities and convert them into relationships and new revenue streams. This could mean cross-selling existing clients or adding new practice areas to your firm, geographic expansion, or setting up procedures to put in place a Whitespace or Business Development accelerator plan".

Bespoke Business Development

Most Lawyers or Accountants are not natural business developers, however, with the right personal development, many can quickly move up the business development performance curve with training that recognises their unique skills, experience and practice focus.

Food & Drink

We have been delighted to work closely with businesses in the Food and Drink sector. Typically offering outsourced sales and consultancy resource, both here in Scotland and at worldwide events such as Gulfood in Dubai, as well as providing Non Executive support for firms with high growth aspirations.

Undoubtedly the pandemic challenges for the sector make growth and development an accelerated priority. New demographics, new technologies and new lifestyle trends will profoundly impact the opportunities and challenges for Scottish food and drink businesses. What works today may not work tomorrow.

A focused approach and smart use of market intelligence and resources can grow sales. We will apply this more widely to achieve significant market growth, drawing out consumer and market intelligence to identify the best opportunities in all key markets.

More importantly, there will be new markets, new ways of selling and new opportunities that don’t exist today. But with better use of intelligence and insights, and adaptable approaches, food and drink companies can target efforts and resources better, boost growth and realise ambitions.

Construction

Is it time to grow your construction business?

Are you looking to expand into new markets or geographical areas? Growing your construction business, regardless of whether you're just starting out or have been in the industry for years, requires careful planning. In order to strategically scale up your operations, you must ensure you will have the appropriate and available resources (workers, equipment, etc.) to handle the growth.

Our experience in the construction and home improvements sector tells us that businesses can’t just sit back and expect more work to just fall in their lap. Companies have to proactively seek out new opportunities to retain and grow their business.

With better use of digital intelligence and insights, and adaptable approaches, companies can target efforts and resources better, boost growth and realise ambitions.
