“House Magazine had been operating successfully for 12 years and then the business fell into financial turmoil. The business owners sold the business with significant debts to its new owners, GWP Marketing Ltd. The new owners approached Robbie Mair from K-Zen Group who bought 50% of the business and quickly worked with GWP to turn the business around. Robbie worked seamlessly with GWP, injected smarter ways of working, re-engineered finances, resulting in improved cashflow and profitability. Robbie mentored the executive team and set the business onto safe ground after a successful rebrand. All of the old debts were settled in full, without having to borrow any money and the business is now growing market share and expanding into new markets.”
Gary Pearce, Managing Director – GWP Marketing Limited
