Axiom Precision Manufacturing Black White

“The program was mind-blowingly amazing. We were provided with tools we’d never seen before, and it’s completely changed the way that we operate our business. Absolutely every tool and piece of knowledge we were given has helped us to grow way beyond what we thought was possible. We literally applied everything we’d been taught. We couldn’t ignore it."

Karen Tsonidis
CEO, Energetiks

"We were growing too fast, we were spiraling out of control. Whilst we had proven that we could grow the business, we couldn't grow it sustainably. The Growth Modules have given us a structure which we believe we can use to grow our business sustainably, and we can understand what's going to spiral us out of control, recognise that, and address it before it happens. It was a chance to step out of the business and start to look at my role as leader."

Callan Cox
Managing Director, Private: Mykra

“Attending the Growth Modules gave us clarity on our vision, our mission, our values and our strategic plan. From there we formed our leadership team, we also formed a Board and appointed a Chairman. We’ve now got a national footprint and we’re excited for the future because of the new opportunities we’ve identified and unlocked. I’d encourage every business owner to invest the time and learn how to grow their company.”
