"We have worked with Neil for the last eight months and he has helped us to develop the business in a clear and constructive manner. He has great attention to detail and has helped develop communications internally and put processes in place which has made business development a success. On a personal note working with Neil has proven very beneficial to my development as well as the business.

Peter Bailey
Owner at Peter J Bailey Ltd.
"As MD of an international company I was at a pivotal stage looking at market challenges and strategising growth in the UK and Europe. I met Neil to explain the situation; he listened with empathy and asked all the correct and important questions about the business. I worked with Neil for 7 months; his ability to listen, analyse and assist is exceptional. From project inception to completion Neil showed care and concern for both the business's success and the people involved. "

"In simple terms Neil and the Sarn Group have helped both the business and my role as owner and Manging Director. The value of using Neil has been operational and financial. In addition, it has been personally beneficial to have Neil available at the end of a phone to provide a level of clarity and opinion that I can trust. Following the initial business review Neil quickly grasped a good understanding of the business and has now helped provide a far reaching and long term strategy."
Jonathan Dean
Owner/Managing Director, Fintek
"I have worked with Neil both as a client and an associate over many years. He is unfailingly reliable and totally professional. He only proposes a way forward once he has fully understood the client's business, aspirations and market positioning; ensuring that any solution is affordable and will deliver results. He is instinctively a team player, who aims to build a consensus when introducing change."
Sandra Verity
Partner at Verity Associates
"As a young company which was founded by two engineers with only limited business experience, the addition of the Sarn Group to our team has given an extra degree of clarity to our vision. The set of skills and level of experience that the Sarn Group have, provides us with invaluable counsel and guidance with helping grow our business. As well as this, the review carried out by the Sarn Group helped us clearly define our identity, and provided us with the platform that we need to achieve our goals moving forwards."
Samuel Dean
Director/Lead Engineer - PorthouseDean
"Neil and the Sarn Group have been instrumental in providing us with an independent review of the business that has been valuable not only to Brown & Holmes, but also to me in my role as Managing Director. In simple terms Neil's independency and business acumen has given us a level of clarity and understanding that has enabled us to make the necessary changes and improvements for further business growth. As a result this has since led to an improved financial and operational performance particularly with new business opportunities with our key accounts and new clients."
