Setting up a new business is not only a big leap of faith but a very daunting experience. Once we made the decision to start our own business there was a lot of research and effort in creating our business plan and when it was at the stage we could get it to – we then came across Peter. We decided to have Peter give our business plan and marketing strategy a once over for any advice. This was a very positive step from us, as Peter was not only very professional and easy to deal with – he was also adaptable to our needs. His advice and recommendations were very valuable and had we involved Peter earlier in the process of developing our business plan he would have been even more crucial in supporting us through that process. We found great value in Peter helping us get a far more focused plan in our marketing strategy  and in addition to this create a structure for our goals and objectives with set activities and timelines.

Whilst starting your own business and getting to really understand it you are best to do the ground work yourself, but at some stage you will require a 3rd party to advise and guide you and this is where we can highly recommend involving Peter.

I’ve built businesses and products before. However, after an hour no-obligation meeting with Peter I realized that the way I need to build them in future requires more intelligent thought upfront in terms of the branding I want to project and live and the customers we want to attract. Knowing this and then putting an action plan in place, is what Peter does best. The highlights for me in terms of working with him is the professionalism, the clear thinking that he brings while still giving you full opportunity to question and disagree and the ability to work within my guidelines (I like to work remotely and only meet when we need to!). The Forge is a brand that we’ve built from scratch with Peter, and I have a good hunch that it will be successful based on the work that we’ve done already and the work we plan to do with his guidance over the next few years.

I will highly recommend working with Peter to achieve success with your ideas and business. I have learnt how to think about branding in a completely positive way and more importantly how to use it so that the business brings us greater fulfillment.
