Don't just listen to us
Don't just listen to us! This is what some of our clients have said about us.
Lee Cooper, Managing Director of professional recruitment agency Hudson Cooper, said Chine Consulting plugs the gap.
“A lot of businesses get to a certain point in their life cycle when they need additional resources and external advice. The first reaction of many SMEs is that they don’t know where to get that advice or they think they can’t afford it. To have someone on tap who can provide you with advice as and when you need it is hugely valuable.
“People are nervous now. There are a lot of long-established businesses that have been through downturns and know what to expect. But there are also a lot of young businesses that have performed very well in more buoyant times and would benefit from those who have been through, and have expertise in, the full life cycle of a business.
“What Chine Consulting has above other people offering more traditional accountancy, HR or marketing expertise, is the ability to take things to the next level. They offer more of a strategic view, giving businesses an opportunity to grow. Setting up businesses for success – that’s what they are good at.”
Tom Cleary, Area Director of Searchmate Wessex, sought help as his business grew.
"I knew I could be dealing with several areas of my business in a far more effective way. The business experience and knowledge that Chine Consulting has dwarfed my own and I quickly realised that I would save myself both time and money, as well as achieving better results in the long term, by using them rather than trying to work it all out myself and making costly mistakes. They have a friendly and approachable but professional style and they advised me on recruitment, finance, marketing and putting systems in place to ensure the business runs as efficiently as possible. Although I obviously know my business extremely well, they asked things I had never considered. Because they are removed from the day to day running of the company they can look at your business in an unemotional way, giving you a completely different viewpoint. It was really helpful and has enabled me to increase my profit significantly."
Mr A of London needed advice when he realised his personal financial position was worse than he thought...
"Following a review of my financial affairs, Chine Consulting believed it more appropriate to introduce me to a third party in order to help me resolve my monetary issues. They were amazingly supportive during the entire process and helped me gain control of what was becoming an increasingly uncontrollable situation. I have the utmost appreciation and respect for Chine Consulting, as their dedication, respect and commitment has turned my life around. I'm profoundly grateful."
Mark Bateman knew what he wanted to do.
He loved working with his hands, turning them to anything from fitting a kitchen to putting up a shelf. All he needed was the right advice to get him there; the firm foundations on which to construct his business, Build and Fix. “I didn’t know how to start up or even if it was possible. Chine Consulting guided me through the whole process and taught me how to market myself properly and keep my accounts. They set you in the right direction and put you back on track when you feel everything is getting on top of you. They are great role models for people starting their own businesses - very inspiring and supportive.”
