Client feedback
“We were in trouble in the UK. Our local team had failed
to secure a distribution or sales base in spite of the investment we had put
into the market. Bob Shire reorganised our UK operation, got a foothold in
3 new major customers and used PR to get our brand awareness and all this
with a very acceptable budget.”
(German consumer products company)
“We had the support of a major chain and needed quickly
to provide consumer and trade marketing support. Bob quickly helped us with
a strategy and then turned on a sixpence to get it implemented.”
(UK OTC healthcare start-up)
“We want to get into the UK market following success
elsewhere in Europe, but we don’t want to have a local operation. We
asked Bob to help us get started. He proposed which clients to go for first,
helped us make the initial approaches and was ready with logistical arrangements
when orders flowed. And to get started we needed only one face-to-face meeting
in London.”
(Private label supplier based in continental Europe)
“We wanted to move into Europe, initially in the UK,
following success for our business in North America. Bob Shire has helped
us define the opportunity and get started, introducing us to some strong potential
partners.”
(U.S. personal care company)
