Effective and Experienced
We’ve worked with a range of businesses facing diverse challenges; our experience has given us skills we can use to your advantage.
“One of our engineering businesses was suffering from lack of cash to pay suppliers and HMRC. This was having an adverse effect on workflow through our factories. Chris from Colobus helped us sort out our cash by negotiating agreements with suppliers and reaching advantageous time to pay arrangements with HMRC. Chris also persuaded our main landlord to talk to us, and that was a big help because it allowed us to stay where we were and avoid the costs and disruption of moving an entire factory.
The key difference was that Chris looked at things from the other-party’s point of view and therefore was able to build trust and reach better agreements that worked for us and helped put us back on the track to growth.”
