Working with David Sharpe gave us an opportunity to see our company with fresh eyes and to really understand what we needed to grow. David's understanding of creative industries meant that his support and recommendations were right on target for what we needed. David assisted us in formulating a five year strategic plan for the business - and with his guidance, we hit our targets in three.
