I was called to meet their full team in an advisory role, specifically regarding Channel Marketing of ERP solutions and the associated add on products. Having come from an SAP / ERP background working for a Channel Partner and currently serving as NED on the board of UK and Ireland SAP User Group, I was well placed to listen to their needs then advise on this topic
“Tim came in as an expert in his field to help answer questions, speak to the team about his product knowledge and advance our understanding of ERP solutions. He was undeniably knowledgeable and was keen to understand the context of our questions so he could give us the most useful, contextual responses. He illustrated his advice with lots of relevant examples and was able to adapt his technical knowledge to the audience. Tim has a calm, considered manner which left our marketing and sales team feeling confident and inspired”

Osprey are a specialist Fluid Power and Engineering Recruitment organisation focusing on traditional contingent as well as retained “Head Hunting” activities. The organisation is growing rapidly thanks to the network of contacts and skills of it’s Owner / Manager Matt Reilly.
Matt initially came to me for help in defining and embedding a set of corporate values, then later on to help with a 12 month business plan looking at all areas from finance and reporting, marketing and sales to compliance and governance.
Matt now has a set of values and principles by which he uses to recruit, review and retain talented people to help his organisation. We are also continuing to work on a long term strategy to help him get less “hands on” and be able to spend more time on business strategy and growth instead of getting bogged down in the daily processes.
Having been in this exact situation myself, I can empathise how hard this is! But with the plan we have in place and our regular catch up calls he is making good progress.
“Tim has worked with Osprey as a business consultant for the past 6 months, Tim is a seasoned business professional and has helped myself and Osprey immensely… He cares about helping and is always available should I need a chat.. I would highly recommended Tim services.”
