Our Origins
Our story began in 1995, when the UK market was moving through a significant period of change; business behaviour was notably changing, polarisation of the trading landscape was taking place, coupled with emerging consumer and lifestyle changes.
On joining one of the world's leading blue chip organisations with a brief to develop and implement a strategic plan, which addressed these market changes. Our approach was built on four drivers.
- Understanding where our consumers are 24 hours a day 7 days a week and understand their new needs at any particular moment.
- Creating an innovative offering that meets their needs at that given moment, to ensure delivery of our brand values at the moment of consumption.
- Creating a sustainable financial and operational plan to deliver the strategy.
- Building a culture that ‘broke the mould’ of many traditional practices and comforts.
The next three years were without question a remarkable success.
From this foundation, we convinced the Company Board to adopt the same principles to support a global strategy. In 1998, we were given the brief to demonstrate the viability of the global plan at no incremental cost to the Company. By June 1998, we gained complete Board approval with the green light to build a global infrastructure and team of people to deliver the plan. The results were described as an “Outstanding” achievement.
There are countless life stories and learning from creating business growth in over fifty countries around the globe, from third-world to highly developed markets. Our journey created new partnerships with some of the world’s most recognised brands and customers, introducing innovative ways of doing business and creating competitive advantage through new supply chain, brand strategies and building new consumer routes to market. Many of these personal experiences and education are translated into our training modules.
The model, which was born in 1995, today generates in excess of £150m turnover, creating over 100 new jobs in the UK alone, this growth is further enjoyed across the globe. In addition, the strategies have been further applied within small and medium size businesses.
From this unique journey we have now translated the experience and learning into a leading-edge management programme, which we believe with strong testimony will help you in this fast-forward market we live and thrive in.
We hope you enjoy the management programme as much as we have enjoyed creating and sharing it with you?
