“After deciding to start up my own courier business, I chose to speak to Innovate Business Consulting to help guide me through some of the areas I was unsure of. Their MD Gareth Bull initially spent some time with me remotely to understand the business vision and talking me through the areas where my knowledge was more limited, before offering a course of support. He enabled me to better understand the process of setting up a limited company, branding and the responsibilities of being a director. I found Gareth’s approach to be encouraging without being condescending”.
“I am keen to spread the word after such a satisfying experience dealing with Innovate Business Consulting - I needed help with the development of my procurement department and enlisted their help. Working with their MD Gareth Bull was an absolute pleasure! Gareth had some fantastic ideas. He enabled us to create a strategic plan of action which immediately created greater levels of accountability within the department, along with noticeable commercial benefits. Gareth’s approach was very collaborative, listening to what the business needed to create positive change. I plan to continue working with Innovate as my business develops further”.
“I initially contracted Gareth to help me run the business overall and to help grow the business. Gareth’s breadth of skills quickly became apparent as we required ISO9001 accreditation which he facilitated and guided us through two recertification audits after the initial first audit. Gareth then became a non-executive director and also became my right-hand man in running the business. Not just that, together we wrote and pitched a presentation to gain interest from 3 potential investors which was successful. Something I couldn’t have done without him.”.
