“I engaged with the EMC Growth team because I felt I had a great product, but this wasn’t translating into business performance—I needed help! Since that day, I have never looked back. The company has gone from strength to strength, leading to selling my business for a value I could have only dreamed about!
This would not have been achieved without working with Carl and the EMC team through all of the stages of my company’s development”.
Ian Fletcher-Price, Owner of Posturite and Workrite
“The co-owners and I had an idea of a business that we wanted to develop and were recommended Carl to help us with the initiative. Carl’s strength and expertise in providing strategic direction and delivery planning in taking this from concept to reality has been invaluable, growing a significant profitable business in a short period of time. We look forward to continuing to grow with Carl’s ongoing support and guidance”.
Roger Myall, Co-Owner of Cadence
“Having started my business in 1998 and achieving a level of success I wanted to explore how I could improve performance and also start preparing for a future exit strategy. I looked for help to achieve this. Carl was recommended and joined me in a non-executive role. The expertise and experience both Carl and EMC have provided have been instrumental in my succession planning and improved results to levels not achieved before”.
