Better Business with Jon SymondsI offer a blend of strategic planning and financial and relationship management driven by a business development focus. This has been formulated from significant FTSE, SME and public sector experience. This is delivered through a variety of manners: Mentoring and coaching of Executive teams and leaders, Consulting to design and implement specific business solutions, creating and effecting high performing successful leadership teamsMy successes have included producing a tenfold growth in just 18 months, from £6m to £60m through new business and consolidation for an acquisitive FTSE company, turning around an SME heating services business from losses of £1.6 million to a £825k profit alongside a 20%+ increase in turnover, and growing an SME from £1.495 million to over £3 million a 107% increase in turnoverBetter Business is an approach that focuses on increased productivity, profitability and growth, planned and implemented in a way that improves quality of life for everyone in your business.Large or small, all businesses can benefit from support and guidance from an experienced, well-informed and objective third-party. PLCs have McKinsey and SMEs have me.I am often asked to provide specialist support to help businesses recover from lacklustre commercial, operational or financial performance.This turnaround activity could be called the Bear Grylls side of my business support services because I do the potentially uncomfortable, tough stuff to ensure short-term survival and long-term success.I am also approached by companies that need to rekindle their business mojo, change up a gear and drive growth, or to structure an exit or acquisition.Best results are achieved through the creation and pragmatic implementation of organisational, commercial and growth strategies alongside consistent stakeholder engagement.Whatever the activity, my clients see a clear return on investment through increased growth, productivity and, ultimately, profit.The reality is that every business owner must continually strive to build a better business than the competition if they are to maintain commercial momentum.This has been my mantra throughout my career, and it is why working with me will ultimately enable you to build an even better business.
