Upon meeting Tony Hedger after being referred to me by a colleague, we had an initial meeting so we could discuss the needs of my fledgling business. I was impressed with his professionalism and above all his integrity during this meeting, which inspired me to use his services as he really took the time to gain a real understanding of my proposed business and even at this early stage gave me some invaluable advice.

I have been in catering for over 25 years and had every confidence in the services which I wished to offer, however this was the first time I had run a business and needed some guidance regarding setting out goals and objectives and creating a business plan.

This is where Tony came in, after the initial meeting he had a good idea as to what assistance I needed and how to implement the creation of my business.

The first task Tony carried out was to create a bespoke business plan which outlined the services of my business and set out some clear and defined objectives which would help with the launch of my business.

This business plan was all encompassing and, without the insight Tony gave me, I would have lacked the direction and focus both initially, during the set up of my business and thereafter to track both its success and shortfalls.

I have no doubt in my mind without both Tony’s help and support my business would not be where it is today as I feel that I have gained invaluable insight into running my business with confidence and more importantly I am able to track the performance based on the business plan and forecasts set out by it.

I also subscribed to A & T Business Associates Ongoing Consultancy, which was of great benefit as any questions I had during these first few months, I knew that the answer and support was only a phone call or email away giving me access to a real point of contact as and when any issues arose. No matter how big or small, they could be resolved quickly and professionally.

Not only would I have no hesitation in recommending A & T Business Associates in the future, but the company is listed on my website as a “Trusted Service”. I am proud to actively promote his business to all my clients as, with his insight and integrity, I am confident that he would be able to offer assistance to them, as his company doesn’t only help new businesses but can offer a number of services such as Factoring Invoices and assisting with Finance Packages which can and have proven to be very helpful in any business which I have referred to him.
