Testimonial

What Do Our Clients Say?

Marcus Lethlean

Director, Mediport

Each year we have enjoyed growth at a pace that allows a capital-reliant business to do so without exposing risks.

I had looked over the requirements but the workload running at the same time made the commitment in time impossible. The meeting of Tom and Peter was incredibly well-timed and somewhat serendipitous. Together, in literally 10 days, we turned a future vision of ours into a tangible project plan, supported by a significant funding request for assessment to help bring the plan to life.

You would think that with such a short time to produce an outcome, we would be rushed, but the reverse occurred. Peter was able to engage, ask questions, understand our drive, and more importantly, our challenges, and then go away and start the process of painting the story of our future with the help of the government grant. A very well-rounded process.

The skill and effort from the team were first class; specifically the ability to quickly translate our idea into a business case and grant funding request. I find that business is best when there is care and concern about the process, the outcomes, and most importantly, the relationship, I think we all share that. I really know Peter and Tom do.
