"We engaged Westbourne Food and Agriculture to conduct a strategic review of a food service business that had been operating for 1 1/2 years and was not sustainable in its current form. We needed to identify the right underlying strategy and where execution had been poor. Peter was able to move quickly, engaging stakeholders in a very professional manner and with strong analytical skills to get to the underlying issues and illustrate and communicate them to all levels of the organisation in a clear and convincing manner. Peter was then able to bring the changes in strategy and execution to life in a simple and actionable plan. He supported the business through the communication of tough decisions and implementation of the new strategy. His ability to gain trust and buy in from all levels of stakeholders from Board to frontline employees was impressive. I’ll be using Westbourne again."
