Growth Acceleration

There had already been companies that had begun to approach me over the last three or four years, so Garwood Solutions helped me do due diligence to check out those companies, in terms of values of course and in relation to size and strategies

Having received a speculative offer for my business, I appointed Garwood to help me evaluate it and subsequently, concluding it was the wrong offer, to take my business to market. Garwood Solutions provided the expertise I required in a calm, supportive manner that derisked the process and optimised the outcome. Garwood led me and my leadership team through an initial market engagement, offer evaluation and finally, deal negotiation. Their advice and guidance as well as leadership was invaluable to me in selling my business.

I worked with Garwood as they supported us during our implementation of a PSA platform. Their knowledge of operational best practice for professional services organisations proved invaluable as they challenged our team each time we started to fall into the trap of maintaining the status quo. The team would be an asset to any professional services firm considering process or IT change.

I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with Graham on projects from M&A to CRM. He is a committed leader and analytical thinker who I recommend for any process, IT or change management project in the financial or professional services industry.

Garwood’s business process knowledge and experience was invaluable during our Kimble implementation, helping cut through some of the difficult configuration questions and achieve what was a very aggressive implementation timeline.

The Garwood difference and unique value is that they bring personal, deep experience of Consulting and Professional Services businesses. They've built and run these businesses themselves and know the reality. So what we get is focused and pragmatic - not theoretical. It's instantly applicable and valuable - not just to us the investor - but even more importantly to the leadership team taking the business forward.
