We are a problem solving company that helps companies to identify business opportunities, improve communication and minimise business risk. Our skills are in the key disciplines that are fundamental to every business development or improvement initiative - management, research, analysis, marketing and communication.

We've been helping SME’s and large private companies to improve their performance for over 25 years.  And with our associate company PHCMarketing - www.phcmarketing.com - we have worked with many public and 3rd sector organisations.  We help clients:

• to understand their audiences & markets
• to identify how best to serve their customers and stakeholders
• to develop business, marketing & communication plans
• with ongoing advice and implementation

We have worked in many sectors.  From automotive to building maintenance to construction to furniture to leisure to nappies - and much in between.  And we’ve worked with local authorities and government agencies on marketing and communicating with employees, residents and businesses. 

We have no vested interest in any particular solution - so we can concentrate on identifying and recommending the most appropriate advice.  And we don’t specialise in particular markets.  This enables us to bring a fresh perspective, objectivity and the ability to spot new things - all of which can be missing in companies that look at the same old markets day in, day out. 

Our expertise is in:

• assessing situations and establishing the key influences
• identifying the key issues and questions
• analysis and interpretation
• identifying opportunities and how to develop them
• communication
  

Our ability to see the wood for the trees is constantly honed through looking at different problems for different clients and, as external observers, we bring the invaluable perspectives of  impartiality and the commitment to tell it like it is. We are somewhat obsessed with finding the most appropriate solutions but we know the result must be advice that is timely, practical and makes a difference.

We use the simple rule of treating our clients in the way we would wish to be treated and we always treat their problems as if they were our own.  We won't let go until we've come up with a practical way forward and we always add value. 

If you’d like this approach to help you develop your business please call us or drop us a line.
