Patrick Dormon Testimonials –
The common theme amongst my personal testimonials is that I have “walked the walk” and business owners can focus their time better…….
“Patrick is straight talking, there is no fluff and the sessions are highly focused. This is really useful as we now work through, prioritise and complete tasks. As opposed to working to the speed the ideas were coming out of my head. This created a level of chaos as nothing really got completed. The small changes we implemented with Patrick’s assistance has compounded to create a complete transformation.” Phil Boden – Silvaman Group
“Our market had moved on. I felt the business had got to a point that if I carried on doing what I have always been doing the business would level off or even decline. Patrick has helped me focus, prioritise, and implement strategies. I found I had been doing too much day to day and not enough forward thinking. Most importantly I now feel in total control of the company and my new vision has shifted up another gear. It’s a very collaborative relationship and he is now part of the team.” Andy Wills – Henwick Park Distribution
“Patricks’s previous track record of managing businesses of various sizes and in different market sectors gave us the confidence to go ahead and work with him. He has completely changed our mindset about how we view the business. We no longer see it as us working in our business, but more us working on our business. He has brought so much to the business over and above our increased revenue and profitability.” Steve Crompton – Glass Environments Ltd
“I chose Patrick because I wanted a business mentor. And because I felt that other coaches I had looked at weren’t “rounded”. They were specialists in just one background such as marketing or sales and weren’t able to give me what I wanted. –A more holistic approach. I didn’t want a “lifestyle” business coach and I really respected Patrick’s background and what he had achieved. When we started, I felt like a weight had been lifted. And I felt that I wasn’t just in a position on my own. Even my cousins noticed the difference.” Belinda Dangerfield – Qudaus Ltd
“I have found it beneficial having Patrick supporting me develop the business. He allows me to maintain control of everything in the way that I want. We get on very well together. Although I am now able to spend less time on daily operations, the next few years will be working towards a business that can truly run without me, so that I can decide exactly what projects I want to manage within the business whenever time I feel like it.” Ross King – RKC Contractors Ltd
“I felt genuinely excited when I started working with Patrick. I could see the plan transferred into a document that is now very prominent in my mind. Within the matter of a few months, I have had the confidence to drive expansion. This business is successful because we’ve always recruited good people and we’ve had good solid advice. I need that to continue now that my parents are retired, and I am confident in Patrick as he has actually grown businesses himself.” Michael Baddeley – Drain Doctor Birmingham and Worcester
“The Strategy Alignment Day at the outset of the engagement was particularly useful. It took me through a process that set out a roadmap to get me from where I am today to where I want to be. And importantly to prove that where I want to be is feasible. The clarity from that day alone was hugely beneficial. It enabled me to put the plan into writing and see the steps needed to get there. The new business has the potential to be more than 30x my current business turnover in just a few years.” Barry McCooey – ML Power Systems Ltd
“I took over Iguana Exhibitions from my parents and the company has always performed strongly. The reason I decided to engage with Patrick is because I see the value in having someone from outside the industry challenging my ideas. So I make better decisions, and holding me accountable, rather like a non-exec director. Having an external perspective is really enlightening and is really keeping me focused. It is also useful to have someone I can rely on to support me as he has had actual senior leadership experience.” Ben Murphy – Iguana Group
“There are those that can talk the talk, and then there are those that can walk the walk. Patrick is able to understand and empathise with me, so that the guidance and advice he provides is always relevant. In my opinion, the reason why he is able to do this all so successfully is that he is one of the good guys who actually cares about the people and businesses that he works with, and that is what makes him a great business coach that makes the journey of growing business feel like a walk in the park.” Simon Washbrook – popcorn
