For the first time we have a robust plan

“LifeFlight is more an agile operation than a typical organisation. It doesn’t fit the standard definitions, yet it is highly capable and very successful. Not being able to explain our business quickly and easily to third parties that support us has been a barrier. Helen Morgan from Gibsons helped us to distil our core capabilities with a clarity that has ‘broken the back’ of a communications challenge we have had for some time. For the first time we have a robust plan to promote our capability with great effect, including digital transformation.”

Scott Kessell - Director Commercial Projects and External Relations, LifeFlight Australia

Gibsons Consulting saved my business

“I had all the ingredients but could not make the cake!”

Wisdom, clarity and a hands-on approach

“My company has been working with Gibson’s over several years to improve our business operations and management. Gibson’s have helped my company become a better employer and to be more aware of our growth potential and client experience. Akela Constructions has benefited from the wisdom, clarity and hands-on approach Gibson’s have provided through mentoring and working closely with my company.”

Ian Furber - Managing Director, Akela Constructions Pty Ltd

One of the key benefits was the development of a Succession Plan

“We initially recruited Gibsons to assist us with developing a comprehensive strategic business plan. Working with Steve and Jock to develop our plan, the journey, though not always smooth, has always been practical and insightful and the benefits have been of great value. One of the key benefits was the development of a Succession Plan, which can be a very personal and challenging area. I would happily recommend Gibsons to assist anyone looking to put structures in place in order to control and grow their business, and even act as Board Advisory Members.”

Gibsons have supported us through every phase

“We engaged with Gibsons Consulting over two years ago. At the time we were successful and profitable – market leaders in the markets we operate. However, we wanted to grow significantly over a short period of time and we needed to transition our business from a successful medium-sized enterprise to a highly successful, well managed corporate enterprise. We recognised that we needed assistance to achieve that…Gibsons have supported us through every phase and continue to do so. We are in the early stages of a long journey of constant improvement. However, our vision is now starting to emerge. Change is beginning to shape our business and Gibsons have made a real difference in that transition.”

Paul Sheehan - Operations Manager, Atlas Heavy Engineering

Gibsons have guided us continuously into growth

“From the strategic review and analysis of the business to implementation of the essential recommendations and changes, Gibsons have guided Trackspares continually and consistently into growth. We initially engaged with Gibsons to assist with the company’s future growth and ongoing direction. As a result, we redefined our entire approach. Gibsons “one on one” approach with our small management team is one of reasons for our continued success. We believe this personal approach separates Gibsons from many other such consulting services.”

Brad Oats - Managing Director, Trackspares

Gibsons first started by listening…

“Unlike many consultancies, Gibsons Consulting started first by listening to our journey and our needs. Working side by side with Steve to deliver our strategic plan, this journey, though not always smooth, has always been practical in its objective. Each Gibsons Consultant could be considered an adjunct board member – showing commitment to their advice and our result, seeing both through to our satisfaction. Gibsons seek to bring alternate perspectives to the process to actually help us to deliver on our strategic plan. They do this by challenging the underperforming aspects and working with us to lift our game to achieve better. I would happily recommend Gibsons to anyone wishing to take their business to the next level.”

Rob Newton - Managing Director, Laser Central

Gibsons brought our staff into the process and helped them understand

“One of the good things that we found about working with Gibsons is that they could quickly grasp the technical issues involved with our products and markets and how they impacted on our choice of strategy. They were also able to constructively bring our staff into the process and help them understand that we needed to change our direction. Gibsons helped me turn my business around. We are very satisfied with the work that Gibsons has done for us and are happy to recommend them to others.”

Lorraine Murray - ATL Composites

Gibsons gained the trust of all our key people

“Gibsons have provided us with assistance in our marketing and sales, our factory processes, workplace health and safety and administrative processes. They have also overseen a major project to install a new costing system that will provide us with better management controls over our manufacturing operations. Gibsons helped us to crystallise our thinking into a concise business plan. I think that one of their strengths has been the ability to work closely with, and gain the trust of, all our key people who now see them as a valuable extra resource.”
