Our Team

We share a common bond with our SME business customers and will work hard for your success.

Our Team Philosophy

Back in 2006 we had a vision to build Lindfield Partners into a team of specialist boutique advisory partners serving the SME business market. Over time, we have developed a proven range of business services and solutions that are offered as part of our engagement with the SME business owner.

Today our team has the expertise and experience to work with all SME businesses wanting to take the journey to their next growth stage. Alternatively if it is time to sell, we will assist to maximise the value of their business and help achieve a successful sale.

We share a common bond with our SME business customers and will work hard for your success.

We also have access to a large range of independent information sources and expertise to draw on as required to ensure the specific client needs are researched comprehensively before all assignments commence. As we expand the partnership program our aim is to increase the business consultancy knowledge base to include additional industry sectors.

Action

With each assignment our goal is to achieve a holistic assessment of the client needs before taking action.

Our experience for over 100 years gives our team the skills to ensure we provide a practical, reliable Action Plan covering:

Project Team selection

Strategic/Business Plan review covering the people, products (and services) and operating processes

Creation of an effective Communication Program for all stakeholders

Provision of Leadership Training for key staff of the client

Working with the client to determine Change Management Actions

Developing adequate Financial and Business Reporting to measure agreed outcomes from the Action Plan

Performance

The ability to achieve the outcomes for our customers is not a theoretical exercise. We believe in establishing measurable Key Performance Indicators to provide guidelines for continuous improvement. Whether you are an elite athlete or business professional, improvement in performance can only come from appraisal and reappraisal of the recommended actions.

Some of the more identifiable Key Performance Indicators we use at the Lindfield Partners are:

Financial performance against the Budget – “make the numbers”

Customer Service performance against the Promise – “keeping customers happy”

Effectiveness and efficiency of the Supply Chain performance – “get the best result from suppliers”

Clear and unambiguous Reporting and Communication performance – “Keeping all stakeholders informed”

Compliance performance with all Statutory, Corporate, Workplace and Industrial Regulations – “Observe the law”
