BUSINESS coaching and consultancy specialist, Maximum Profit Growth, is gearing up to expand its operations.
Coach Brian Wrigley has been joined by Alan Price, formerly managing director of insolvency practitioners, Marshman Price. MPG was started in 2012 and has built up a reputation for helping businesses to improve profitability and prepare for growth.
Brian Wrigley said: “A great many businesses would be far more successful if they had the necessary structures in place to allow their owners to work more on, rather than in them. Many business owners work 50-plus hours a week and this is a recipe for burn out and family problems. Coaching helps those owners get in control and reap the rewards of their hard work, while at the same time, building up something valuable to a potential buyer when the owners want to retire or move on. Having Alan on board gives us additional financial expertise, so we can now also help owners and managers with business planning, and really getting on top of their figures, so they can measure their performance, build on the positives and deal with the negatives.”
Alan Price spent over 35 years as an insolvency practitioner, dealing with distressed businesses, large and small, and has been a business owner for 20 years.
“As an insolvency practitioner, you learn some very simple lessons about what makes a good business, and what makes a bad one,” said Alan. “You also learn that most businesses actually have a good product or service, but that many of them lack the structure to achieve maximum profit, and allow their senior people to take the time off and receive the financial benefits their efforts deserve. Our aim is to support businesses while they implement the changes they need to make to achieve their full potential.”
Brian and Alan are of the opinion there is nothing new to succeeding in business, and that it is all down to planning, then testing and measuring your performance against known targets.
“When we make a suggestion about how to improve something, people often say to us: ‘Well, that’s obvious!’ to which we respond, ‘Agreed, so why aren’t you doing it!’ Coaches don’t have all the answers, but very often their clients do, and it is just a case of teasing those answers out of them.”
Anybody who is interested in finding out more about how coaching works, or what it could do for their business, should call Brian or Alan on 01604 214695, to arrange a free introductory meeting.
