The Challenge
Jack Marshall, the owner and operator of Marshall Drilling, faced the challenge of sustaining and protecting the rapid growth of his business. He wanted to set and achieve ambitious goals, manage his team effectively, and make strategic decisions to ensure continued success. 'I’ve always had the dream of running my own business, and after starting Marshall Drilling a few years ago, it’s grown rapidly through hard work, great customer service, and always finding solutions to our clients' problems,' Jack shared.
The Solution
Jack discovered Business Thinkers and decided to use their coaching services to accelerate his business growth. The decision was driven by the need for structured and strategic planning. 'Knowing you’re going to meet with your coach every 2 weeks means there is both accountability and some urgency to move things on. We’re a very busy business and having a pause in place to think and make decisions has been really valuable,' Jack explained. Through regular fortnightly coaching sessions, Jack was able to implement effective strategies, manage his team more efficiently, and make informed decisions that drove the business forward.
The Results
With the support of Business Thinkers, Marshall Drilling achieved their 5-year business plan in just 18 months. The business grew by over £2m, expanded its workforce to 11 drilling crews, and implemented new processes for sustained growth. The current turnover stands at £5m. 'Having delivered against the initial 5-year plan in the last 18 months, I’m now in a position to hit one of my major goals, to buy a farm with land and open up new possibilities,' Jack proudly stated. The coaching sessions provided the structure and support needed to achieve these remarkable results.
