"Mark is one of the most committed people I have ever worked with. He was involved with several acquisitions and dozens of licensing deals which were worth millions of pounds to us on our bottom line. He helped to make the transition very smooth and painless for both our staff and customers.
We reengineered the entire business including systems, processes, staff contracts, KPIs, accountability, communications, and employee morale and motivation. The cost saving and improvements in performance were significant."
Andrew Beveridge, Manufacturing

"I've worked with Mark in two separate companies. Both times he focused on the key issues within each business and as a result we saw excellent improvements in the performances of both businesses."
Ray Smith, Printing and Dyeing

"We headhunted Mark after a recommendation from a senior Marks & Spencer Director. Mark worked tirelessly with me to change the whole culture of the business. This ranged from new product development, licensing technical products and marketing initiatives to a complete overhaul of the way we did business. It also involved complex negotiations with customers, suppliers, employees, and trade unions all of which was done in an effective and sensitive manner."
Malcolm Campbell, Home Furnishings

"I recommend your Program to any sales professional as the results speak for themselves."
"I am a Senior Business Development Manager responsible for selling my company's technology solutions, including B2B, ERP, CRM and IT consulting, e-Solutions, application development and integration, and application management outsourcing; in addition to a Web applications product that we recently launched in the market. I recommend your Program to any sales professional as the results speak for themselves. As you know, we are currently experiencing a "down market." Nevertheless, I got fantastic results under what is generally considered a flat line market for Professional Services."

£950,000 of facilities for Printing Company
"I was busy trying to get all the practical things I needed to start my business in place. Whilst I am good at my business I have never been very comfortable with the financials.
Dave helped me to structure my funding needs and put together all the information that the bank and the other funders needed. He structured a deal and arranged a mixture of facilities to match my businesses needs. These included a loan account, asset finance and some factoring. This was a 'one stop shop' as far as I was concerned. I was able to get on with the day to day business rather than being distracted with too many meetings with a variety of lenders".

Arranged the senior debt element to enable the management team to acquire this training business. Worked closely with equity providers and the legal teams representing all parties.
"Anyone that has been involved in a management buy out will know the pressure this has on your time. We worked closely with Dave who worked hard to get the level of bank funding that we needed to complete the deal."
CM (Leeds)

£4,000,000 finance for car dealership
Arranged the debt element of this ambitious transaction - bringing together four dealerships around the UK. Worked closely with the equity providers and asset finance company to provide a cocktail of facilities to enable them to proceed with the deal.
"The bank and Dave were instrumental in enabling us to realise our goals for the business. He worked with us and the venture capitalist to put the funds in place just when we needed them. He felt like one of the management team."
