Riding the Economic Downturn - Winning Business in 2009
Rob McGonigle of Adwords-Secrets, the CCM spin-out aided by WMG's IDL, has been keeping in touch with the companies he met whilst working on CCM.
For some the news has been bleak with layoffs, others feel charmed whilst competitors struggle and others like GRP Building Products are battling to keep up with demand and are having to recruit. GRP director, Les Hunt, explained. "I was a little apprehensive when we came back after Christmas but we have hardly had time to catch breath since. Customers have been increasing their orders particularly for export. We are getting more vehicle panels again and whilst the construction work has been down from the peak we have a good order book."
Les is a little modest about how this has come about. He has picked up the manufacture of a range of sports equipment when the customer closed their own GRP shop. They have kept in touch with their past customers and responded promptly with quotes no matter how fast enquiries flooded in.
Another company doing well was still concerned. "With so many of our competitors struggling we must question the long term future for this industry." Rob pointed out that many sound businesses were only in trouble because of the banks and that they left customers with capacity gaps in their supply chains that will be filled by others positively looking for new business.
CCM and Rob's business are contra-cyclical, they attract more visitors in these difficult times. We are also luck to meet the positive business leaders who are actively seeking and winning better business. |
