"Very professional, knowledgeable support, swift turnaround and excellent communication. Went above and beyond for successful outcomes with coaching/mentoring tailored to meet the needs of my business. Assisted with tendering processes, financial matters, HR, property investment matters, insurance and other general business tasks."
- Murray Pearson, Pearsons Coachlines Limited______________________________________"I had the pleasure to first work with Andrew developing a feasibility study to present to multiple governance boards, in partnership with mana whenua and two other community organisations.
Andrew absolutely brought to the collaboration the knowledge, skills and experience we needed. Along with an awful lot of patience!
Andrew kept us on track, focussed and continued to test any assumptions throughout the process.
He became a trusted and dedicated member of our team and a pleasure to work with.
- Carla Gee, CEO EcoMatters Environment Trust______________________________________"I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew for over 10 years, and his expertise has been a game-changer for our business. From our first meeting, Andrew's deep understanding of business dynamics and growth opportunities was evident. His commitment to client success, always being available for support, makes the consulting experience collaborative and engaging. During tough times, his knowledge of the banking system and management strategies was crucial for our survival. I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew to any organisation seeking enhanced performance and sustainable growth. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication make him an invaluable business partner."
- Calum Reid, MD Calect Electrical Limited______________________________________"We ran an SME in Auckland and were fortunate to be introduced to Andrew by a mutual colleague. We engaged Andrew to assist in the preparation of the sale of our business. He helped write a Strategic Plan and Prospectus for selling our business covering everything from A to Z. Throughout the entire process, Andrew's professionalism and integrity were beyond reproach. We highly recommend him for services with any business help you may require."
- Al & Rose Dean, Directors, Awesome Awnings Ltd
______________________________________Andrew has worked with our company at different times over the past 8 years and has contributed in many ways to make us more productive and efficient. Getting all our team on to updated and consistent Employment Agreements, creation of a company-wide Operations Manual and developing H&S processes and policies were key areas he worked on, to name just a few. Always readily available and willing to assist with any request thrown at him, he took a lot of the day to day stress out of being a business owner. I recommend his services to any one in that position who needs a hand, or even just someone to bounce ideas off.
