NUMU is a highly successful youth music site run by Synergy Projects Ltd and funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation with support from the Arts Council, Music Manifesto and Young Enterprise. Their challenge was to transition the project from grant funded status to a sustainable operation. John worked with the MD and senior project team to develop their business plan and identify sources of revenue that were complementary to the project’s ethics of providing a safe space for schools and young people to share and experiment with their original compositions.

Management Process Systems (MPS) is a management services company that wanted to develop an innovative cost/value measurement methodology for their innovative online Contract Change Management (CCM) system. This would allow them to evaluate benefits and enable better service to customers. John worked with the company Directors to develop a costed, planned and achievable research project to deliver a complex business systems solution. The project was delivered with specific academic support from the University of the West of England (UWE) and funding from the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programme. The two year project commenced in March 2006.

Gordon Morris Ltd helps people with impaired hearing to break ‘through the sound barrier’. We provide the tools that empower individuals to tackle deafness and allow organisations to reach hearing impaired people more effectively. As a small (under 50 employees) but growing business, Gordon needed to develop and embed a full, robust and innovative commercial and operational infrastructure, and attendant IT architecture, within his company.

“The sheer professionalism and high level of business support provided by John helped us identify the missing pieces of the business jigsaw puzzle. There’s no picture on the box to show you how your business should look and it’s easy to become inward facing, John introduced us to a new cosmopolitan outlook that we continue to embrace.” Gordon Morris, Founder & MD
