"Geoff, just a short note to let you know how things are going and to also thank you for your influence and assistance over the years.
I honestly believe that your influence has led me to chase down what I really want and has got me to the path that I have now chosen. For that I am truly thankful. You have been an inspiration and a guide not only in my career but also in my personal life and everything is working perfectly. So Thank You!!!!!!!"

"We undertook the Diagnostic Workshop with Joe Atkinson of Business Diagnostics and Solutions.
The Diagnostic Workshop is extremely thorough and highlighted many important areas of our business which we need to focus on. It identified many important issues which we had not considered beforehand.
The Action Report which Joe provided to us was detailed in its recommendations and has greatly helped us in defining critical success factors and a strategic direction for Quality Commercial Contracting.
We believe that all businesses would benefit from the services which Joe Atkinson and Business Diagnostics and Solutions offer to help business owners achieve success."

"We just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you Richard for all your help. Doing stage one of the business analysis was an excellent way of pulling together the things we knew we needed to do but hadn’t properly defined, and it also highlighted a whole lot more that we are now on course to do.
We achieved in a day what would have taken us 6 months to pull together by ourself and it wouldn’t have been an objective view of the company. Working with you also ensured that making the hard decisions weren’t going to end in a divorce for us!
Many thanks again for all your help and guidance"

"Nationwide engaged the services of Andrew Pulsford from BDSi to assist us in the development of a Business Plan that would set the direction for our business over the next five years.
We were so impressed with the level of professionalism displayed by BDSi that we have retained Andrew to assist us with the implementation phase of our plan.
We feel confident that largely due to Andrew's guidance we now all share a clear vision and direction for our future.
We would recommend the BDSi team to any business owner looking to gain clarity around their future goals and objectives."

It was gratifying to find so many experienced consultants willing to give up a substantial amount of time to assist us. It was also good to see such a variety of consulting practices represented as consulting is such a varied profession. So thank you for your efforts. I hope to see you again."

"As a new-to-business woman I have received such practical and insightful advice from Geoff Ellis of BDSi that has really made a difference in getting my Naturopathic Practice running. Geoff has provided advice on set up, promotions, management, budgeting and advertising. In particular, Geoff’s well-timed and practical advice on advertising in a service-based industry has probably saved me thousands of dollars and helped me focus my promotional activities on those that will generate a better return for money and time spent.
If you are in a start-up phase and need an experienced mentor and advisor, I can recommend Geoff to you with great confidence."

"Do you really want somebody to tell you how great you are all the time? If you are to grow within yourself or your business you need to be challenged. It takes a lot of courage for people to be honest. There is only one person apart from Geoff Ellis that challenges me and that is my best friend.
Geoff has given me a kick up the butt when I needed it. I have times when I'm floundering and don't know where to start, he always points me in the right direction. It is obvious that he draws on experience from a diverse range of industries and utilises that to assist businesses to reach their potential.
Professionalism is Geoff's middle name, it shows in everything he does. I wish to thank him for all his assistance - it has been amazing."

"Our company engaged Business Diagnostics & Solutions (BDSi) to investigate our business, to provide an assessment of the company's past trading strategies and performance, and to assist us to plan our future growth and development. The input from BDSi has been important to me as the business owner to help me get out of my day to day management role and to look at the business from the 'outside'.
In our case, the market niche that we have traditionally worked in has dramatically altered to the point where maintaining our focus in this area would probably lead to the ultimate failure of the business. The need to shift direction has been driven home and BDSi are helping us to manage the change to a new business model.
I have been satisfied that BDSi have guided me towards a future direction. I feel confident that with continuing input from BDSi the business will turn around."

"Geoff Ellis of Business Diagnostics & Solutions has been working with our company for approximately four months. In that time Geoff has been given the charter of developing a 'Company Bible'. This document was to contain all the information and guidelines necessary to run our business - things such as organizational structure, job descriptions, company policies and procedures, standard forms and protocol.
Business Diagnostics & Solutions have helped Aussie Glass with numerous issues of a management nature. We feel Geoff Ellis in particular has made a substantial difference to the running of our business. I hold both Geoff and Business Diagnostics & Solutions in the highest regard and would have no hesitation in recommending them for any type of Management Consultation work.
They are fantastic value for money and have undoubtedly contributed to the growth and development of our organization."
