Case Studies

Steve Mosley – "Mosley meets Wilcox"

“After contacting BL4L we were put in touch with Matt at Business Talents Company. My partner and I had recently left the RCA after completing a Product Design MA.
We had set up our own product design company and had landed a good contract with a marketing agency producing vending machines for high-class hotels and bars. We felt we needed to build on this success but had very little business understanding. Business Talents helped us plan our business vision and were there with us every step of the way. Two years later, we are taking on staff, have a strong pipeline of projects and increasing our turnover 40% year on year. We still have our adviser’s input almost on a weekly basis. His expertise has been invaluable to us.” www.mosleymeetswilcox.com

 

Glen Taylor - Taylor James

“I run a successful photo-retouching business with an International client list of photographers and advertising agencies. I first met Business Talents to discuss one particular area of my business but I soon realised how much value they could potentially bring and gave them a much wider brief. We started by looking at the objectives for the future and how we might achieve these.
Rather than concentrate on boosting sales straight away, it was pointed out that in order to grow the internal structure of the business would have to change first. We followed Business Link’s SFI project that aims to improve businesses internally with an emphasis on staff development. This has really helped my own time management and will ultimately make us far more competitive going forward. Business Talents are now an important voice in our strategies for the future and we look to continuing our relationship.” www.taylorjames.com

Rebecca Drinnan - RD Legal

“RD Legal specialise in supplying legal secretaries in London. Although I originally got in touch with Business Talents to discuss a legal software idea, we soon started looking at all elements of my business. I didn’t realise this sort of service existed and wish I had found them when we were setting up the business.

Apart from helping me make the software idea a reality they have provided support advising on the web site, employment issues and given general all round support. Anyone thinking about starting a business should have a company like Business Talents in their corner” www.rdlegal.com



Sarah Saunders - Electric Lane

"We are a training and consultancy company which helps media and publishing companies produce, handle and archive their digital images. We have been working with Business Talents for a year now. I have never before worked with an Adviser but have greatly valued their input."

My core issue was building the client base and the revenues. Together over a number of meetings we analysed the market and split it into sections. We then devised a new business development strategy including looking at my brand and our USPs. We developed a month on month targeted pipeline to analyse sales. This has helped give me discipline and focus. We meet regularly to review progress and creatively brainstorm new ideas. I have often recommended Business Talents to friends and colleagues and feel they provide a fantastic service to small business owners like myself.” www.electriclane.co.uk
