Haworth Partnership was asked to help M&M Accessories Ltd to assist in the build of a successful web based business. They had tried for 4 or 5 years to get a web site up and running but did not have the experience or strategic skills to allow the business to take off. I acted as the business coach to hep the business managers find their direction and map out how to achieve the agreed goals. I was then asked to join the board and assist with further and faster growth development. The plans we created and followed has created a business that has grown from £0 sale in 2015/16 to over £1.5 Million in 2019/20. I am very proud to have assisted in this enterprise.
