Chair - Genoa Black a B4B Strategic Consultancy. Advising on Growth, Customer Acquisition, New product Launch, Domestic & International expansion. HQ'd in Edinburgh, active across UK, Europe & North America.
The statistics for long terms survival of companies in the UK really isn't very good. 3 out of 5 SME's don't last 5 years. 4.5 out of 5 don't make it to 10. Since 2016 (Brexit) 38% of SME's have failed. Genoa Black is its 11th year and we have grown every one of these years, but we are aware that there is no divine right to survive. We strategise, we refine, we seek feedback and we invest in our team. Most importantly we ensure we deliver to the needs of our clients. Having advised over 800 clients across UK, Europe and North America within the Energy, Renewables, Life Sciences, Bio, Luxury, Engineering Hospitality & F&D sectors we have the context and capability to deliver growth for our clients. But don't take our word for that. 83% of our new business is referrals from past clients.
CELEBRATING GROWTH >> As part of a new strategic expansion plan, we are delighted to announce we have relocated from George Street to our new, multi-level, Castle Street home. The expansion marks an exciting year ahead for the team as we continue to focus on delivering real results for clients, investing in the specialist development of our people, and extending our reach into new sectors and geographical markets. Gaynor Duthie, Managing Partner of Genoa Black comments; "Castle Street represents an exciting new chapter in Genoa Black’s journey, as we continue to grow the team, expand our service offering and cultivate new partnerships. We’ve created a welcoming hub with larger meeting spaces and workshop rooms for our people and clients, to facilitate the collaboration and innovation at our core as a true partner for growth.” We look forward to welcoming all clients and partners on Castle Street very soon.
