Success Stories

“Mark Johnston was a great support in helping us look at the intricacies of setting up a business in a non-traditional sector.  I consider our work to be specialist crafting and skill-building and Mark was able to guide us in the right direction to help launch on a firm footing.  It has supported a seamless growth strategy to move into retail and workshops in quite a short space of time.”

“My business advisor Mark Johnston has been fantastic. From shaping my business plan to creating cashflow forecasts and helping with those little hints and tips that business owners only usually learn over time, he’s been great. It’s also really important to just have that person on the end of the phone who is encouraging and believes in you. His belief in what I was doing just served to give me the confidence I needed when I was questioning myself.”
