It is especially refreshing to find someone who can provide true, actionable insight, not just a list of statistics. We have come away with a shopping list of actions to take, prioritised against our business objectives – a neat “to do” list with clear financial values against each one – the kind of analysis that is invaluable for a busy team. Plus, they’re a real pleasure to deal with at every step”
