BREAKING RULES!

In one of the most fiercely competitive industries, where every competitor offered similar products and employed extreme tactics to secure sales, our approach was unconventional. We broke away from the norm, thinking outside the box to distinguish my company and products.


My strategy involved implementing an automated plant, achieving remarkable efficiency in reducing both direct labor costs and material wastage. Additionally, we designed unique component hardware that underwent rigorous BSI testing and approval. To provide customers with added confidence, we introduced a breakthrough guarantee, offering £1500 cash back, 10% saving in house insurance and insured the risk through Lloyd's of London.


Setting a new standard for service, we committed to a 5-day delivery turnaround, surpassing the industry norm of 15 days. Furthermore, we developed proprietary in-house IT software, eliminating the need for order processors and quotation personnel. Clients now have access to full P&L software and direct online ordering, fostering increased customer loyalty.


We emerged at the forefront of the industry leaving competitors struggling to keep up. Our success was underpinned by BSI-certified quality manufacturing and unparalleled customer service.

BUSINESSMAN Journey

My business career began by accident. Initially, I studied design and architecture. However, during a summer vacation, I worked within a small double-glazing business and immediately recognized the potential for profit and growth within a rapidly expanding industry.


I decided to take time out to learn the business, quickly progressing from making windows to on-site fitting and eventually managing the company. I then moved on to a national company as a production manager within three months of becoming the operations director. I had always believed that people in business were of a superior caliber. However, it became apparent that many had no idea about making money despite their naivety, limiting their growth. I knew I could do better and decided to go into the B2B supply window business.


I gave notice to my employer, having no money and unable to obtain a bank loan. I sold my car, bought a pickup truck, a single saw, a bench, and a crimping machine, and entered the window business. Setting up in my garage, I had to wait for my neighbors to leave for work before I could turn on the noisy saw and constantly made excuses to my customers about why it was not convenient to visit my (non-existent) factory!


Within six months, I accumulated enough money to buy out a friend's small uPVC window manufacturing business. It was a tiny 800 sq ft factory unit with basic machinery and a water tank as my desk. The space was so small that stock and products had to be taken out each day to provide space for the day's manufacture. I continued to manufacture my friend's window requirements. However, he subsequently did not pay and almost broke my new business within the first nine months. I learned my first and most important lesson – do not trust anyone in business!


My first employee was sacked regularly, marking a learning process for both of us. I was first in and last out, monitoring and checking his timekeeping. Material for manufacturing comes in 6-meter lengths, and when it's your money, you become very adept at optimizing the best cut for minimal waste. You soon learn that any company is only as good as its employees and implements effective KPIs in which they can associate, measure, perform, and deliver.


Within the next two years, the business grew considerably, and I used the opportunity to relocate into larger leased purchased industrial units, creating the start of a commercial property portfolio. In subsequent years, the business expanded again and again into further commercial properties.


As the market consolidated and margins reduced, it was apparent that to compete, you had to be extremely good, and efficient, and become a major manufacturer. This was getting larger to the detriment of smaller companies that could not compete, similar to comparisons in Premiership football. I set out to obtain a new stadium (plant) and the best players (managers, staff). Multi-site operations could not compete with a large single operational base but served the purpose of creating a commercial portfolio. I merged all operations into a single 80,000 modern plant, invested in the latest, most advanced CNC machinery commissioned in Germany to meet our requirements, and set out to recruit the best team. I had gone from a single employee and his reliance on optimum cutting on just a single saw, producing 25 products per week to 250 employees and saws automatically optimizing to 0.01% wastage with direct online ordering into manufacture, a plant capable of producing 5,000 bespoke products per week.

e n t e r p r i s e p a r t n e r

BUSINESSMAN Journey

Despite having the most advanced machinery, the manufacturer is still reliant on employees and subsequently subject to human error. Having worked in every role within every operation within my company, I often proved the job could be done, much to the amazement of the employees, and set agreed time and motion, and accepted quality levels. On one occasion to enable the employees to have a clear understanding of the wastage being regularly occurred. The equivalent monthly amount – £25,000 in cash – was placed in a sealed clear perspex box within the works canteen monitored by CCTV. Every time manual error wastage occurred, the equivalent monetary value was removed from the box and any money left in the box at the end of the month would be shared between employees. Within 3 months, wastage had reduced by 60%!


Minimizing human error to maximize profitability, world-class manufacturing, and KPIs were implemented into every operation at every level to enable a clear understanding of the operation, expectations, and measurement of performance. With good timekeeping essential to production, all employees were issued "ski lift" type passes, which monitored timekeeping linked directly to accounts and their salaries. Employees receive an attendance bonus with deductions for poor attendance and timekeeping.


Similar efficiency and accountability were implemented inside the offices and outside the building. Implemented a clean desk policy, with a place for everything enabling relocation of staff into different roles, and strived for a paperless office. Direct online ordering into manufacturing, eliminating in-house manual order entry and associated mistakes. One of the first companies in the UK to implement real-time vehicle performance tracking systems into the logistics fleet and sales representative cars, reducing man-hours and fuel operating costs. All vehicles were high spec prestigious Mercedes, cleaned daily with uniformed drivers with an emphasis on a quality brand and the image in which customers wish to be associated.


Getting paid is essential to any business. However many look for any excuse – try scams to avoid paying, and no more prudent than within the double glazing industry. All manufactured products were bespoke to the client's specification, therefore they were of no use other than to the client who ordered them. All efforts were made to verify the creditworthiness. However – Never judge a book by its cover! Our drivers receive bonuses on the basis that payment is collected in line with the client's agreement. No payment, no goods! Cheques had to be signed and dated correctly before goods were unloaded.


To improve margins, I traveled with my team to Ningbo, a manufacturing region in central China, and formulated, and structured manufacturing, and supply agreements for the hardware used within our products, saving 15% on UK costs. China's trade is not straightforward, being family business orientated. They are also very good at replicating but tend to cut costs to the detriment of long-term quality without informing you! With a ten-year guarantee offered on our products, it was essential UK quality personnel were installed in China to maintain BSI standards.


To distinguish our products from our competitors, we formulated a unique within the industry "Safe & Secure" branded marketing strategy. If any of our products were broken into, we offered a £1,500 Cash Back "Break In" guarantee, warranted for 10 years. Our product went through strict testing to meet BSI requirements and to meet insurance criteria to adhere to the guarantee. In addition, the homeowner received a 10% reduction in home insurance premiums.

BUSINESSMAN Journey

We offered a 5 working day delivery with the industry average being 10-15 working days. Therefore, a client can order a fully bespoke product on Monday and have it delivered anywhere in the UK on Friday. To provide this level of service, a highly organized, efficient infrastructure had to be implemented as every product was different in design, dimension, color, and specification. Likewise, the infrastructure had to be performed in line with the received order levels. The factory runs day and night shifts, the delivery time could not be compromised, as clients programmed installation in line with scheduled delivery. Overcapacity resulted in additional costs, and undercapacity resulted in loss of business.


To perform under extremely fast, cost-effective deadlines, maintain cash flow, and organize stock and staff, we had to have good systems. I recruited an in-house IT software development team in which we developed industry-leading management and production software. A real-time profit & and loss linked via a database to all operations. It was not reliant on an accountant, but in real-time, as soon as a purchase order was placed or a product signed for upon delivery, the P&L was updated. A live system that also compared against agreed budgets provided variance reporting. Systems were applied to all manufacturing, office, and logistics processes. In conjunction supplied to our clients under license, a version of our developed software with preloaded product designs, pricing, online ordering facility. This enabled clients to fully individual profit & and loss and management accounting, on-site quotations, ordering, and invoicing to their clients. The software provides fast, easy, cost-saving operations for the client and loyalty to our company.


I could never envisage when first starting out employing someone to look after other people, people who physically do not make anything! Building an infrastructure, recruiting a highly motivated management team, and developing production and management systems to deliver, takes time and is not easy while having to maintain cash flow. The business has to operate but cannot grow without implementation. Recruiting the right people is also a difficult process, many appear highly qualified on paper, but lack business common sense, and an inner sense of efficiency. I have recruited and interviewed many staff from the shop floor to £100k plus directors, but of all the personnel interviewed one guy stood out. In my early days, I advertised for a fully experienced glazier, emphasizing within the ad, that only experienced need apply! When interviewing this young guy, I asked what experience he had, he replied none! but provide me the opportunity, and I will be your best glazier by the end of the week. He lived up to his word! – Passion, and determination, are the ultimate qualifications!


I experienced competitors planting staff into my business, following my delivery vehicles and even attempting sabotage to obtain our customers. We had to perform every time and to relate to all staff I often compared running a business to that of a restaurant. "You are only as good as your last meal. If you are recommended to a restaurant, you may accept one bad meal, and go back for a second, but never a third if you experience the same!" Never take customers for granted!


The start of the global recession in 2008/9 was unprecedented and resulted in the demise of the building industry virtually overnight. Builders stopped building, sites were left unfinished, and development halted. As a UK leading independent manufacturer and supplier to major builders, my business was directly affected by having 200 PAYE employees and a substantial plant. Despite trying to maintain a reduced structure and company at considerable personal expense for an extended period, it was apparent the recession was more severe than anyone envisaged. Together with a very expensive divorce, it was not viable to continue and left with no alternative but to close the business.


After building a company for over 20 years, within a ruthless industry under extreme competition, constantly experiencing everything business could throw at you to try to prevent you from reaching your goals (in which I could write a book) becoming an industry-leading company, and being offered a substantial sum for the sale 2 years before foreclosure, proved an invaluable business experience.

Traders journey

After a dynamic career in manufacturing, where success relied on a robust infrastructure and organizational prowess but was susceptible to volatile market conditions, I sought a new trajectory that would enable me to leverage market movements—an area that has always captivated and intrigued me. This decision led me to Amplify Trading, a professional trading institution in the heart of London, where I underwent comprehensive training as a Futures and Forex trader.


Accustomed to managing intense pressure and embracing risk, I initially underestimated the challenges of this new venture. Trading proved to be an entirely distinct experience, characterized by unpredictability, irrationality, and seemingly inexplicable market behaviors. Markets, for instance, would react inversely to news, rendering mastery of the trade seemingly elusive. Statistically, 99% of individuals entering the trading arena do not succeed, and my entrepreneurial background presented challenges due to impatience, a tendency to break rules, and an aversion to losses.


However, my competitive nature and unwavering determination intensified my resolve to succeed. A pivotal lesson I quickly learned was that successful trading necessitates self-awareness and mental conditioning to navigate situations lacking rational explanations. I recognized the importance of training my mind to make split-second decisions in the face of market unpredictability. Similar to Tiger Woods striving for a four-foot putt to achieve his goal, success in trading entails having control over emotions, especially under extreme pressure. The often-underestimated power of the mind makes the difference between success and failure.


Trading the markets is akin to embarking on a daily unpredictable adventure that continually provides learning opportunities. The ongoing process of broadening my outlook on global economies and understanding underlying issues has been instrumental. Acquiring knowledge and experience has provided a deeper understanding of international affairs, developing economies, and assets—an insight crucial for informing business planning, strategy, and investment decisions.

ENTERPRISE PARTNER journey

Growing up in a family with a robust military background, where my father held the rank of Major in the army, I absorbed values of structure, discipline, and organization from an early age. These principles formed the foundation of my entrepreneurial journey. With a discerning eye for imperfections and untapped potential within infrastructure and organizations, I assumed the responsibility of making pivotal financial decisions for my business, consistently steering from point A to B with a focus on efficiency and cost-effectiveness.


Throughout my business career, I was fortunate to benefit from the guidance of several mentors. Recognizing the importance of seeking insights beyond one's own perspective, I learned that collaborating with experienced professionals yields invaluable results. Confronting the myriad challenges posed by the business world, I honed my skills through a combination of experience, passion, drive, and unwavering determination.


An intriguing opportunity presented itself when I responded to an advertisement by Hamilton Bradshaw, an organization led by James Caan of the UK's Dragons Den fame, seeking exceptional business mentors. Following a meeting at James's London Mayfair offices, where I showcased my abilities, I was offered a partnership within a newly formed division of his organization. Despite the flattering offer, I chose to decline due to the high percentage cost associated with the partnership. Nevertheless, the recognition of my abilities by a prominent figure in the business world inspired me to leverage my expertise. Subsequently, I decided to offer my direct mentoring and coaching services, drawing on my wealth of experience. My mission evolved into assisting enterprises in developing, implementing, achieving, and growing to their full potential, thereby delivering significant value to shareholders. My journey is characterized by a commitment to excellence, a passion for growth, and a belief in the transformative power of strategic mentorship.
