PC Medics Group Plc.
Outsourced IT Support for SME's in the West End and City of London
• Hired to improve the fortunes of this start-up business through more effective marketing, including direct marketing / mailouts, media advertising and overall brand development.
• Quickly identified the underlying need to improve processes in every department. Achieved this through training, internal recruitment and management of circa 30 employees.
• Restructured the Order Processing / Helpdesk / Customer Service team and the Technical team to ensure high levels of service, optimal use of engineer skillsets and rapid response times.
• Developed the sales team to ensure that conversion rates improved, pipelines were sustained with sufficient depth, and incentives were correctly pitched. Took the business into profit.
• Moved my focus back to marketing and public relations; briefed and managed the work of these agencies. The results enabled us to raise £1.3m and gain a listing on the AIM (Alternative Investment Market), securing funding for the future of the business. At this point, I chose to sell my equity in the business and move on to start my own business in recruitment.
