AJT Managed IT Services
AJT Managed IT Services attended a business seminar event and heard Tim Rylatt, the founder and a business coach at UK Growth Coach. The seminar discussed all of the aspects, skills, and work needed to run an effective and successful business.
The founders of AJT Managed IT were experts and passionate about their field of IT, but they came to realise there are so many other additional aspects to running a business. Therefore, they recognised they needed someone else’s business expertise to fill those gaps, educate them, and ultimately empower them to deliver the best IT services they could.
Therefore to answer their question of how to grow an IT company, the answer came back to them as working with UK Growth Coach!
Together with UK Growth Coach, they have worked on most aspects of the business, from processes and systemisation, through to financial controls, and sales and marketing.
The focus has been on building a foundation and business model which allows the business to scale. This has involved a lot of process creation and documentation, and the standardisation of systems. Critically, this means the business is less reliant on the founders to secure new business, deliver and operate. That is the key to enabling a business to scale and AJT now has that!
Tim has also held the founders to account to take action and make the changes they have committed to. As any business owner knows, the day-to-day work can get in the way of the wider strategic business direction and work you need to do as an owner. But by working with Tim, he has kept them on course to take the necessary steps needed to create the business they ultimately want to be running.
The business results while working with a coach proves the impact of working with an expert, rather than relying on trial and error!
The third year of trading saw a tenfold increase in growth than compared to their first year, which is a steep growth trajectory. in their third year they had a turnover of over half a million pounds, compared to fifty thousand in year one.
In addition to the financial results, both founders are more confident in themselves as business owners. They achieved more within the business than they thought they could as a result of being driven and held to account by a business coach.
So if you are looking for how to grow an IT company, or indeed any type of SME, find out more about how business coaching could work for you.
“We understand our sector but we don’t understand running a business, and we wanted help and guidance with that. With Tim, we’ve been creating the foundation of a business that will make it scalable as we grow. I think the best way of putting it is, Tim helped us with all the stuff we don’t know about running a business.
We worked with Tim for most of our third year of trading, and our third year of trading was ten times growth over our first year of trading…while we were working together we managed to successfully turnover more than half a million pounds.
Tim’s very personable and nicely strict. What I mean by that is he understands people and also understands when people are trying to string him along, and he’s not scared of telling you that!”
