Business Profile
A well-established construction company with £10 million in annual revenue and a team of 40+ staff, delivering a range of large-scale commercial and residential projects.
Background & Brief
When this business approached us, it had been navigating turbulent terrain.
Despite its history and size, revenue and profit had been under consistent pressure for the past three years. The customer base had stalled, and there was a notable lack of strategic vision – no clear direction, no forward momentum, and no path to long-term growth.
The leadership team knew the business was capable of much more, but they lacked the framework, focus and firepower to get there.
Our Impact Together
With the right tools, strategy, and discipline in place, the results were rapid and remarkable:
- Revenue grew 3.5x in less than two years
- Profit margins improved by 50%
- Customer base increased by 160%
- The business successfully acquired a specialist company, enhancing vertical integration and operational efficiency
Our 6M Framework to Achieve Results
Strategy that moves the dial
We developed a robust three-year competitive growth strategy and translated it into an actionable management plan – giving the leadership team a clear, aligned path to execute on.
Sales and marketing built to scale
A precise, targeted marketing and sales plan was implemented, focused on expanding into new market segments and reactivating dormant accounts. The plan was reviewed monthly and adapted quarterly to stay agile and relevant.
Operations driven by accountability
Key operational success measures and team scorecards were rolled out to keep everyone accountable, engaged, and moving in the same direction – with real-time visibility on what was working and what wasn’t.
In Their Words
“We were yo-yoing a bit. We wanted to have more sustainable development. After meeting with the Growth Idea team, it seemed that they could bring us the best of all worlds, which is exactly what they have done.
We’ve got a much better structure, and we have the right things in place, in the right way, whilst thinking the right way. Thinking in a very structured, ongoing and repetitive way has helped us to achieve the goals we set out for ourselves.”
