We have employed John Courtney of Strategy Consulting Ltd as consultant to our rapidly expanding group of companies on a regular basis, and he has been instrumental in our stability and growth.

As well as his lead in strategy, John Courtney has also assisted us in financial forecasting and negotiations with banks and other financial institutions, where he has many useful contacts and no little skill in negotiating. In particular he helped us get a substantial six figure loan from our bank enabling us to purchase and equip a neighbouring building and we would not have been able to do this without his efforts.

John Courtney of Strategy Consulting has proved over the years to be an essential ingredient of our successful growth and expansion, and we would not take any major decision without his input. He is honest, reliable and trustworthy as well as having a friendly approach and manner.

I wholeheartedly recommend him and his company to you.
 

Yours sincerely

Richard Smith

Director
