Oakwood provide commercial insights – not just support. The Oakwood team really understood our business and were able to give options that translated to profitability and bottom-line growth
Oakwood helped us create a 5-year strategy to take our business up to $10 million from just over $1million, becoming a market leader. This strategy focused on making our proposition more compelling and how we would communicate and then deliver this to the end user. Oakwood have a wealth of experience and real-life examples which is a refreshing change from other businesses used in the past. I would not hesitate in recommending the Oakwood team
Establishing the right strategy often remains the key delta between business success and failure, particularly when you are evaluating new markets and targeting strategic growth. Partnering with Oakwood enabled us to prioritise and focus our efforts and to ensure the sustainability of our key goals. I have recommended Oakwood to several colleagues within my network as a first-class partner for strategic assessment and support.
Oakwood gave us an excellent insight into our capacity for growth, the sustainability of our business model, the opportunity for efficiency improvement and the capability of our management
