What our clients say....

 

 PMG Engineering Services Pty Ltd

 Situation

 Our client PMG is a plastics injection moulder, founded 20 years ago and  deriving the majority of sales revenue from custom moulding for other businesses. In early 2010 PMG's biggest customer decided to shift their purchasing of point-of-sale (POS) display materials from PMG to offshore sources, causing PMG to suffer a downturn in sales of $2 million pa.

Outcomes

  • The team identified six opportunity areas as the focus of the firm's marketing and business development activities.
  • The team created a Strategic Business Plan, which defines the Vision, Values and Purpose of the firm; its long-term Corporate Objectives and the Strategies by which these might be achieved.
  • The management team decided to re-brand the business as PMG Plastic Engineering and re-develop the website.
  • The team defined a set of specific Actions based around the Balanced Scorecard perspectives - customers, business processes, learning and growth, and financial.
  • The management team now have clear focus about their objectives and priorities.

PMG Engineering Services Pty Ltd engaged Roaring Success in early 2011 to help develop a Strategic Business Plan.

The demise of manufacturing in Australia has been affecting PMG for some time, in late 2010 PMG appointed a Sales Manager with the intention of establishing a Sales and Marketing Department, this department was so successful in identifying opportunities that the challenge of prioritising and focusing became an even greater problem.

Roaring Success and in particular Chris Thomson and Russell Stocker were able to decipher the whole mess and deliver a clear and concise action plan. The tools they provided to access opportunities are now invaluable to PMG and will be used for years to come. PMG will continue to engage Roaring Success particularly for marketing strategies for proprietary products.

Lasslett Rubber & Plastics Pty Ltd

Situation

Our client Lasslett manufactures compression or injection moulded rubber and plastic components, and are a systems-integrator for medium-complexity assemblies.  The company is committed to a program of significant expansion through organic sales growth and corporate mergers or acquisitions.

Outcomes

  • Lasslett identified four new opportunity areas that, together with the firm's existing automotive component business, become the focus of the firm's marketing and business development activities.
  • The team created a Strategic Business Plan to set the long-term direction for the business and a Marketing / Business Plan to drive sales growth.
  • The team defined a set of specific Actions based around the Balanced Scorecard perspectives - customers, business processes, learning and growth, and financial.
  • Corporate image has been rejuvenated with a new logo and a new tagline.
  • Website is in the process of being re-built and a new CRM system is being installed.
  • Additional marketing resources have been recruited.
  • The management team now have clear focus about their objectives and priorities.

Clear strategic objectives with attendant plans to achieve them are vital to any company's long-term success, but their development is often sidelined in consequence of the myriad of conflicting priorities that confront management on a daily basis.  The real value of Chris' involvement was that it forced the management team to clarify and nail down appropriate objectives.... and then make it happen! Chris' approach is not to do the original thinking for the team, but instead to facilitate a powerful awakening of latent talent within the team, who have emerged energized and bristling with confidence.

 Chairman

Dolpn Products Pty Ltd

Situation

Our client has been providing high quality moulded parts to the Australian Auto Industry for many years, and was growing additional business with other non-auto clients. Due to the reduction in Australian made vehicles, Dolphin was under pressure to seek alternative sources of revenue.

Outcomes

  • Created a solid growth plan for the next five years based on the selected opportunities offering the most potential with the least risk
  • Built a business case to gain approval from the directors in Hong Kong for additional commercial staff in Melbourne. Hong Kong approved the additional funding within 48 hours
  • Work is now progressing to win real business with current and new clients
  • Since the start of the project, revenue is up over 18%

 "We tried to develop a sales and marketing plan early last year on our own, but with not much success. At that point we were introduced to Roaring Success via ASEA.

Steve Wood and his team reviewed what we had started then added their marketing skills and the magic of their Roaring Success process to give us a Sales and Marketing Strategy that will launch our plastics business over the next five years into new, exciting and challenging growth areas.

The team at Roaring Success maintained a high level of enthusiasm that made for some great creativity and helped provide the plan and some great marketing insight that I needed to lead my company forward in a tough manufacturing climate. Thanks for your great support."

General Manager

Elastomers Australia

Situation

Our client is a supplier to the mining industry, and has been on a steep growth curve over the past few years. Aiming to build on past successes, the management team were faced with the challenge of how to continue that growth in a robust and repeatable manner. We were approached via the Australian Federal Government's Enterprise Connect office and asked to assist.

  • The team defined a set of specific plans based around the Balanced Scorecard perspectives - customer and market, business process, learning and growth and finally the financial perspective.
  • The management team are now clear about what they have to achieve and how they will achieve it within the desired time frame.
  • Revenue is up 20% since the start of the project and net profits are keeping pace.

"During the course of the project, Roaring Success provided professional services and guidance in the facilitation and development of a strategic plan for our business over the next 5 years. One of the challenges was to create a plan around maintaining momentum in the market place through profitable and sustainable growth, enabling us to reinvest and maintain focus on delivering value to clients through our products and services.

The team at Roaring Success provided our Management Team and Project Leaders valuable knowledge, insight and tools to develop and engage the strategic plan, ultimately adding value to our business."

Our biggest problem was finding someone who could really help us.
Now, with help from Roaring Success, we are making our plan a reality.

“Early in 2009 Belmatic needed assistance to review the business, and make a plan to move forward in a rapidly changing commercial environment. Our biggest problem was finding the right person and ensuring we didn’t end up with a pile of reports that, while relevant, weren’t practical nor able to be implemented.

When researching where to get assistance, we found the Victorian Government’s “Grow Your Business” program, through which we received both a grant and an introduction to Chris Thomson. Within a few days of working with Chris we were reassured we had found the right person to work with us on this project.

Within weeks Chris had conducted a comprehensive review of our business – identifying both our strengths and the factors constraining our ability to grow. Chris led us through a well structured strategic planning process, creating a multiple-stranded plan to increase sales, improve cash flow and build the capital value of the company. We are now making that plan a reality.

We have come through this programme gaining much needed and valued knowledge that will be used to continue to grow our business. As part of that on-going commitment to implementation and review, we are consulting with Chris on a monthly basis as our mentor, guide and sounding board.”
