BraunAbility has used the SWGS team for more than four years. During this time our business ownership has changed and the challenges we are facing have become more complex.
We have engaged SWGS for coaching, training and facilitation on a wide range of business matters, Their insights and support have been invaluable throughout our changing ownership, our integration into a global business and as we faced up to the difficulties that COVID and Brexit have presented.
The SWGS team has been great to work with and have a clear passion for our business and more importantly for our people. We look forward continuing to work with them. Highly recommended as trusted expert business support professionals.
Phil took time to really understand my business, my clients and objectives. He was able to tailor his guidance and gave me some brilliant yet practical tips to keep me on track with my virtual services. I really appreciated the time I spent with Phil, as it was incredibly valuable, and it was also great to have a different perspective. I feel more confident moving forward, having had Phil’s guidance of how to increase my proactive online relationships, his ideas of how to monetise and improve my services. Thank you so much Phil, you have been very motivating and just what I needed in what has been a challenging time of late.
I now have much more clarity over the business model for my project and a firm understanding of the difference between my customers and users.
I found Kath invaluable in helping me focus on career priorities- she was always encouraging but also challenging in a practical and sensitive manner that enabled me to move forward in a constructive way.
