The Value Engine - Okehampton

Jennifer Neal

We discovered The Value Engine on LinkedIn and after some initial conversations with Ben, we decided to work through his Growth Kickstarter program, which brought focus and clarity to the company's future and goals.

Ben’s easy-going nature made the process easy, enjoyable and insightful. Ben is a great listener, enabling him to very quickly grasp the important elements of the business, to which he then provided helpful tailored advice. He's also always on hand to assist if needed and his experience across different businesses proved valuable.

We are pleased with the service received from Ben and recommend The Value Engine to other businesses keen to more forward in growth, focus, processes, and time management.

We recently completed a two-day workshop with Ben from The Value Engine, and it was an incredible experience. At the start, we had plenty of good ideas but struggled to formulate them into a coherent plan and truly get into the mindset of our customers. Ben brought a structured process that broke the big picture down into small, manageable chunks and helped us think deeply about adding value.

Ben’s energy, enthusiasm, and the right degree of challenge were exactly what we needed. By the end of the workshop, we were amazed at how much progress we had made. We moved forward significantly and felt a sense of accomplishment that was beyond our expectations.

Thank you, Ben. It was brilliant!

Working with Ben has been incredibly useful. We had a solid team and knew the direction we wanted to head, but bringing in an experienced advisor like Ben proved invaluable. He took the time to truly understand our business and our journey.

Ben's structured process helped us get laser-focused on the fundamentals - who we serve, the value we provide, and how we can profitably deliver on that value proposition.

And we have a plan to follow, and have already made good progress on new product development and other key elements.

Ben and the Value Engine comes highly recommended from me.

We have a successful HR consultancy which has grown organically but with the trends and challenges we see our clients facing we knew there was an opportunity to expand and deliver our excellent service to even more great small and medium sized businesses. What we needed was a clear strategy and plan so teamed up with The Value Engine, joining The Growth Kickstarter program.

Ben took a deep dive into understanding our values, clients, and operations. Armed with these insights, he helped us craft a clear, actionable strategy to achieve our aims - detailing exactly where we're heading by defining a clear path in achieving our objectives.

The Growth Kickstarter was insightful and forced us to focus on the big picture. Ben's expertise brought clarity and focus to our growth plans. Our growth targets now feel attainable and we're putting our plans into action. We couldn't be more excited about the future!

Ben and The Growth Kickstarter will provide clarity and equip you with a tailored action plan to help you achieve your goals.

Highly recommended.

Ben started working with John nearly two years ago, and since then Best Accountancy has gone from strength to strength. We created targets and managed to go above and beyond what we set out to achieve. We have streamlined and systemised what we do and the service we have been able to provide our clients is therefore constantly adapting and evolving for the better. Ben has given us the tools needed for the business to thrive with or without our MD in the office, which has enabled John to focus on more FD work. He now has the time to help our clients with more of the strategic planning side of their businesses - which is what John ultimately wanted to strive towards. Thank you Ben for all of the hard work you have put in, we appreciate it immensely and would highly recommend your services to anyone.

Extremely valuable no-nonsense 1-2-1 business support from an expert with highly relevant experience and contacts. A list of suggested actions was developed during the session to provide hard outcomes from the meeting and points to reflect on. I thank Ben Rotheray for his far reaching and highly practical insights.

Working with The Value Engine has been a real game-changer for our business, especially joining the Kickstarter programme. Even though we're a smaller company, he quickly spotted what was holding us back and showed us a whole new path to take our business to the next level. Ben's approachable style, combined with his skills and business know-how, made this journey feel like a breeze. He's helped us uncover some fantastic new opportunities, and we're fired up to make it happen! Highly recommend him to businesses, big or small.

We talked to Ben about helping us with our Planning Consultancy business. Our business has grown organically and is financially successful, so at first, we didn't really understand how Ben could help our us or even if we needed his help. However, you don't know what you don't know and as such we kept the faith and trusted Ben's advice that he could really us. We engaged Ben to review our business and provide advice. Ben has opened our eyes to a whole new world. He undertook a review of the business with our direct involvement and helped us to shape a USP, culture, identity and strategy. He's helped put in place critical building blocks and a short and long term strategy to help us achieve our goals (goals which he helped us to identify!). The advice is comprehensive, from financial projections, systemisation, HR, marketing, recruitment and even how to use virtual assistants. The bottom line is that Ben's help will more than pay for itself. I feel like the fog has cleared and now Richard Branson is looking back at me in the mirror, rather than just a Planning Consultant. I would highly recommend Ben to any business, he will transform your world; even if you have a good business, he will help you make it great.
