Avant Contract Furnishings

Business coaching services to focus on the strategic direction, not the everyday

Avant Contracts

The business need

Avant Contract Furnishings are office interior and furniture specialists based in Redhill, Surrey, who have been receiving business coaching services from us for a little while.

Through an invitation by their accountant, they attended one of UK Growth Coach’s business education seminars. Their accountant thought the owner of Avant Contract Furnishings would benefit from an external perspective and some additional support so invited them to come along to hear it directly from one of our coaches.

The business was performing well, but the owner wanted to move out of the day-to-day running of the business and focused on the strategic parts of the business, and to look at the business as a whole rather than the everyday issues and challenges. Additionally, he thought there would be a benefit to drawing on the expertise and experience of others and avoiding any trial and error.

Our coach’s enthusiasm as well as knowledge convinced the business owner to secure business coaching services from UK Growth Coach.

Working with UK Growth Coach

The main focus of the business coaching services have been around systematisation and processes to make the business more efficient, effective, scalable, and enable the owner to move more out of the day-to-day work.

There have been many process changes, including:

  • new management meetings in order to engage the whole business with the direction and progress of Avant
  • a new CRM system that is actively being used
  • the identification and establishment of alliance partners to leverage more new business and opportunities
  • structured diary management to increase the efficiency of the senior leadership’s time
  • additional new business opportunities being identified and able to act upon.

By working across different operational areas of the business, it has allowed the team to consistently deliver a high-quality service, which the owner can rely on. That in turn frees up dedicated regular time to focus on the strategic direction of the business.

 

Results & impact

The results of the business coaching services are a strong business performance and a very happy business owner!

There have been numerous substantial results achieved but the standout one is through the formation of new alliance partnerships, an additional £50,000 work of business has been secured which would likely have been missed if the new systems had not been in place, and our coach hadn’t helped identify.

As always with our coaching, we focus not just on the business results but the satisfaction levels of the business owner too. In the case of Avant Contract Furnishings, he is able to control the business strategically now and focus on new opportunities, knowing the systems and processes in place will keep the business performing consistently and well.

Having someone to keep the owner to account has meant that strategic actions have been taking place regularly. This gradual, realistic and achievable step change sets the business on a path to ever more success!

What Avant Contract Furnishings had to say about working with UK Growth Coach

Graham Beeson, owner of Avant Contracts Furnishings had this to say out UK Growth Coach’s business coaching services:

“Working with a business coach, such as Tim, enables you to work on your business, not just within your business. So looking at strategic elements as opposed to just looking at day-to-day issues or challenges.

While we’ve been working with Tim, the business has performed very, very well with some substantial results which are very, very pleasing. In particular,  with some alliance partners, we’ve been able to achieve some business that we possibly would have missed before which has resulted in between £40-£50,000 worth of extra business.

I find Tim challenging in terms of the business side of it, but the challenging side is helping me tremendously with the business I own.”
