D M Print Ltd,
Keighley.
MAS Specialist and leading Environmental
practitioner Dean Morgan
worked with DM Print to prepare the company for
ISO14001 accreditation.
“Dean was the
cornerstone of our efforts to introduce ISO14001 to
DM Print. He was instrumental in ensuring that our
paperwork and controls were relevant and accurate,
and indeed this was commented upon on our successful
accreditation. We have now retained Dean in order
to assist our personnel to ensure that we maintain
our standards and retain our accreditation. He has
been an asset to our business and I would have no
hesitation whatsoever in recommending him.”

Fifosys Ltd
acquire Octavia Information Systems Ltd
"Peter Kroeger is the consummate professional. He
knew exactly what had to be done, by whom and by
when. He chaired every meeting, kept me informed of
the big picture, handled the detail, and cajoled
everyone, including the sellers, to keep to the
timetable. I had no idea how much work is involved
in an acquisition. In fact, I suspect there is much
more taking place than I actually saw since Peter,
Colin Black and DMH Stallard handled so much of the
detail. I felt in very safe hands. Because of this,
during the due diligence and contract process, I had
the time to think very clearly about how I am going
to merge the two businesses and was able to bounce
ideas off Peter and Colin. I will make this
acquisition a success and I look forward to working
with Peter through the integration process and onto
the next acquisition once this one is bedded in”

I had met
Peter Kroeger,
of Kroeger & Co
www.businessadviser.com/kroeger.htm some years
ago but was reintroduced to him as a person who
might be able to help. His accounting software
background, and his accreditation to the
international network of Associates of the Institute
for Independent Business, together with his own
personal connections to South Africa, led me to
engage him to research the structure, size and
competitive position in South Africa for the
Counterbooks application for Fuel Retailers and
Convenience Stores."

PMS Diecasting Ltd
Simon Lamb
has been instrumental in helping us to overcome a
period of turbulent trading conditions and technical
problems. He helped us really focus what we were
trying to achieve and the kind of customers we
wanted to attract. This allowed us to develop a
clear vision and action plan for each department
which linked to our overall strategy. Having Simon
visit us regularly gave us the discipline to get
everyone together, set ourselves challenges and
address issues.”

Geothermal Supplies Ltd
“Peter
Kroeger
predicted we would need some
additional working capital so we engaged him to
arrange that for the business.”
In June 2010 Peter Kroeger
successfully arranged a £200,000 working capital
facility for Geothermal Supplies. “He prepared
all the necessary plans and forecasts and assisted
us in our negotiations with a range of finance
providers, leading to a successful conclusion.
The business is now in great shape to continue its
expansion, benefiting from a clear strategy. I have
no hesitation in recommending Peter Kroeger to any
business owner needing help to set out their
strategic direction and raise finance.”

General Carbide
Europe Ltd
“We have
certainly been through the mill. It takes an
enormous amount of effort to position yourself to
win a large order and then to win it. Having won the
order, to find (in the midst of the credit crunch)
that the working capital we needed to finance such a
large order would be an issue, left us as very
worried business owners. Peter Kroeger’s calm
assurance and real hard work and dedication, his
ability to convince our Bankers and our largest
supplier to support us, and the way he made a very
complicated grant application process just happen so
smoothly, is the reason our business future is now
secure. We could not have done this without the
expert, practical help that Peter provided. I have
no hesitation in recommending
Peter Kroeger as
strategic thinker, successful fund-raiser and most
of all as a true business “friend”.

Wakefield Acoustics Ltd.
“The
grant-subsidised consultancy help that
MAS has given us to implement improvements to our
manufacturing operation has resulted in a 65%
increase in sales; and 25% improvement in
productivity in year one with further double digit
sales and profit growth in year two. Getting our
people behind the changes was critical and they have
given us 110% support. The feedback we have had is
that they now feel more involved and empowered.”

diagnostic report and advised us on setting up a
manufacturing unit from scratch and even sourced the
bottling machine for us. His advice was spot on and
we now have a 21stcentury manufacturing facility

Percy Hawkins & Son
Ltd. Kettering.
“Peter
Kroeger has been so good for us. He has provided
outstanding help to us, in defining a strategy and
developing a business plan, in raising us much
needed grant finance where he “took the problem
away” and did it all in an unfussy, practical and
efficient manner, and against a very tight deadline.
He arranged grant aided production consultancy and
ensured its success. He looked past just the capital
grant and ensured we have sufficient working capital
to handle the increased business, helped us find a
key employee and ensured we are legal in all things
HR related. We could not have done this without
help, and in Peter Kroeger (and his IIB network) we
found all that we need. I have no hesitation in
recommending Peter to any business owner who needs a
true business friend and a helping hand to do the
difficult stuff”.

Chapmans Ltd.
Sheffield. "We were
starting on a major change to the way we ran our
manufacturing plant when we were hit very badly by
Sheffield's 'Big Flood' of June 2007.
Most of the factory was under 3 feet of water.
We decided to take advantage of the period of clean
up and recovery to accelerate the planned change to
planning and production.
Thanks to the intense guidance and direction
activity by Neale Cook
of MCCR & Associates and the enthusiasm of our staff
we managed to bring forward the changes and complete
the training"
