On joining the business it became clear that a new long term strategy was required to steer the business through a turbulent political and economic environment.
We worked with Davie on developing a strategy that both pointed the business on a route that navigated those challenges but also addressed the wider initiatives of our owning group.
We recognised the need for solid building blocks in areas to improve but with a vision flexible enough to take us through a changing environment.
I’m really pleased to say that our business plan is now routed firmly in c2c and supported by our stakeholders as a step change in the operation of the business.
Davies manner is warm and personable, using his vast corporate experience to draw parallels and help focus the planning sessions.
