From Our Founder & CEO
“On 11th May 2020 I was offered an “Out”
This video is the reason why I’m still “In”.
It was bang in the middle of the COVID lockdown (part 1). I’d seen 85% of our business revenue diminish overnight. Back then the majority of our portfolio revenue stream was from Hospitality & Dumbwaiters. An huge industry that suffered the most….
On top of this, my wife had given birth to our second Child, just 3 days before.
Legal Liquidation is what they called it. Take the government Bounce Back Loan (£50k) and legally fold the company for circa £5,000.00. Great business opportunity at the time - 900% value add potential.
But, it was unethical, it didn’t form part of what I was trying to build and my strong opinions against ended partnerships and friendships.
So what did I do?
I took a couple of months. Brainstorming and exploring. Built a cabin in the garden and moved the entire business operations in to it.
I changed the business model completely, re grouped and pivoted. Focused on alternative areas and opportunities around Public & Disabled Access, including Platform Lifts and DDA Accessibility.
Now - we have strong independent business, £2m+ in revenue, good culture and recognised as a leading Platform Lift & Service Lift Provider.
When your backs against the wall. Sometimes that’s your strongest position.
Also - if you’ve read this far down. This snippet is from a new video being released this week. Look out for it!!”
