Non Executive Director Testimonials

NKB, MD Software and Technology Company

"We met Mark for lunch and left the restaurant with heads buzzing as it felt like we had lifted our sights and could see the wood from the trees, even after one hour.

We were not making any money at the time and Mark was recommended to us by a financial advisor who was impressed by him. We'd had the glory years when we'd developed some software and just kept selling it for £100,000 each time but we were struggling as we needed to develop a new system to keep up with our competitors.

We'd spent months trying to figure out how to develop a new system on a shoestring whilst still running the company. Our competitors were large international companies with huge budgets. We knew we were up to the challenge and we suspected that the new technology would sweep away our customer base which was using the same equipment we'd been supplying for 20 years.

It was a difficult time - customers under threat, huge investment required just to maintain the status quo and pressure on cash flow."


"One scenario we had never considered though, was that our customers didn't need or want to spend capital changing their systems and indeed there would be a vacuum in the supply of our specialist technology. Our competitors were spending fortunes to develop something slightly better to sell to existing customers who were already happy and scrapping everything that had worked for years.

Mark immediately spotted this, suggested we stop spending on development and just sell to our competitors' customers who were by then feeling unloved. Not only did we pick up valuable maintenance contracts, but we installed new systems (of our old technology) at better margins and without having to spend a further £ or $ on development.

It was a piece of genius thinking and we are now thriving again, thanks to Mark's help."
