TESTIMONIALS

STRATEGIC & COMMERCIAL INSIGHT

STRUCTURE, SALES, GROWTH, MARGIN

STRATEGIC & COMMERCIAL INSIGHT

 Andy North worked alongside the CEO at EF-Group prior to its sale to Compass Group, guiding major decisions across strategy and commercial insight, ensuring the company delivered measurable changes. His priority was to achieve a significant and lasting contribution to the overall structure and success including the eventual sale of the business.


CEO Paul Mizen; 'I always remember the FD telling me we could not afford to take on Andy North, I remember telling him we could not afford not to take him on as the business needed to grow significantly. Andy was my sounding board because he had scaled and sold many times. I had so many effective meetings with Andy over the years and we doubled the size of the business to £120m.

 "Andy worked with us to unite our two clinics under one brand, one streamlined system, and one cohesive team. His emphasis on exceptional customer service, along with introducing HR-backed support, team training, and structured performance reviews, has been instrumental to our success.

As owners, having his support in debating and defining our future business direction has been invaluable, ensuring consistent customer growth. I would highly recommend Andy North and True North to any business seeking strategic guidance and sustainable results."
