The No Nonsense Business Consultancy

The Asbestos Removal Contractors Association have been using the services of Andy Luffman of Scio Consulting for several years and find that his no nonsense approach to business improvement makes a refreshing change from the pedlers of jargon and buzzwords.”

“We found Scio Consulting an invaluable asset to improving our working practices.  Consultant Andy Luffman spent considerable time with us learning how our business works and  listening to what we wanted to achieve. He then identified what was achievable and what needed to be done to get there.
 
He created a simple spreadsheet tool designed specifically for our business, to monitor progress and enable us to change plans in the light of experience. This was exactly what we needed and it was created in a very user-friendly way.  As a bonus, Scio Consulting has been a very useful business connection for us and we feel we have made a good friend in Andy.  We thoroughly recommend Scio Consulting”.

“Before our first meeting, I was feeling jaded and ‘bogged down’ in the running of the business. Now, I can see exciting possibilities to move things forward. ”

“Over the years I have received many forms of advice from different places and different people, but I found your advice to be the best.

I thought it was very professional – good sound advice.
 
I would, therefore, be very happy to work with you on a plan of action. I look forward to another meeting.”

Music With Mummy

 

Getting any new business idea off the ground is never an easy thing to do. Prior to starting Music with Mummy I was just a mum who wanted to spend as much time with my little girl as possible but having a desire to build and achieve something on my own. I was pretty sure I knew what I wanted and I thought I knew how I was going to achieve it. Very soon into my new venture there came the realisation that if I were to go forward I would have to seek some sound business advice from an outsider if I was to avoid allowing myself to fall into the trap of running around “fire fighting” whilst all the time loosing contact with that all important customer base that I'd worked so hard to build up.

 

Scio Consulting was recommended to me by my previous boss, who was also running a successful company. Having contacted Andy Luffman, an appointment was made for a time that fitted around my commitments so as not to disrupt my day any more than was necessary. It was wasn't long into that initial consultation that I started to feel at ease and that the questions I had scribbled down were not as silly as I feared and that here was a company who genuinely wanted to help me to succeed.

 

The language spoken was one that I could understand, not just long words or silly abbreviations. I quickly realised that Andy had a really good understanding of what will make a business successful and that if I were to grow my business then SCIO Consulting were going to be the ones to help me get there.

 

Andy spent some considerable time going through all the key components I would need to have in place to make things work smoothly as well as helping me to formalize my goals and objectives into a plan for success.

 

Nearly three years on and my business is still going from strength to strength. I still keep in close contact with Andy . His advice and enthusiasm is as focused today as it was right back at the start. Both he and Cathy show a genuine personal interest and a feeling that my success is their success. I cannot thank all at SCIO Consulting enough for their continuing support and guidance in helping me achieve and surpass the targets I had set myself.

I guess I must be doing something right as I now have the pleasure of his little girl in one of my classes, so maybe in some small way I can help shape the way his daughter grows too.
