  • "We are a relatively new business that has been fortunate enough to enjoy both a consistent  work level and also rapid growth. The Directors recognised very early that it would benefit the business and to give some structure to ensure future growth if an outside Business Consultant  was engaged to assist with this. Sam has been phenomenal and in a very short time we have managed to stream line our systems and ensure that the entire office team is working together to achieve the same end goal. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sam to any business that is looking to not only grow but build on their existing success"

    Ian Lee, Director | Destin4

  • “Having grown our business from a cold start in 2022 to a practice with a drive to increase productivity and efficiency, we realised that we needed a full analysis of our operation. We appointed Heard About Sam to help us achieve our goal for the coming year and Sam’s analytical approach to break down the functionality and profitability of our business, look at what we do well and where we can improve has been invaluable. We have identified individual and collective responsibilities and now have a clearly defined strategy to help us reach the next level.”

    Chris Green, Director | Destin4

  • “In your capacity as Leader of PCC I would like to pass on my sincere thanks, and offer a heartfelt BZ (naval chuck up) for Becci Alexander, Bill Sainsbury and Sam McGrath (I know she doesn't directly work for you) for their professional and meticulous approach to the planning and execution of the Eat the Island delegation to the 'Farm Shop and Deli Show' in the Birmingham NEC over the past few days (not to mention the planning and organisation). Their combined efforts made for a painless experience for those of us exhibiting throughout the week, and their enthusiasm for the project was palpable. As ever it was a pleasure to work with the PCC.”

    — Vince Noyce, Director | Portsmouth Distillery
