From a rich set of SME experiences as an Owner and General Manager, Andy Burford knows how easily as the business owner you can become overstretched. And how that burden can steadily weigh you down, so you stop lifting your head and you stop seeing the field of opportunities. The opportunities that you were originally most passionate about. Having someone alongside you who’s dedicated focus is to keep that perspective across the entire business is highly leveraging. It makes for stronger profits and increased business value.

• After a stint in the Army, invested in a start-up before a successful sale to its current owners
• Held several sales and technology project roles in large supply chain businesses
• At PlaceMakers, worked with joint venture owners to assist trade customer profitability
• PlaceMakers joint venture owner one year before the GFC, baptism in rapid change management
• Last 8 years as a shareholder GM with owners’ group specialising in operating diverse SME businesses

As a Business Success Partner my job is to walk with you every step of the way, keeping that perspective alive, as we:

• Develop and execute the business plan (what we are doing)
• Achieve goals and measure results (how we do it)
• Share in the successes (why we do it!)

This comprehensive approach supports fast identification of roadblocks and how to break them down; validates if the right people are in the right roles and captures what works well.

If that’s where you are…then let’s talk about how change could start and what it might look like for you.
