What Prime Stategies Clients Say

  • “There is considerable benefit to having an advisor working alongside you in your screen business. They can help you bring together a vision, strategy and plan and then work through this step by step with you to see it realised. They are an external voice while always putting your best interests first.”

  • “This was a challenge that you were both up for and up to from my perspective. I genuinely appreciate your time and perspectives that have helped me move forward personally and with the business.

    I absolutely acknowledge that it’s a great process and one that does help drive a business forward. The focus on mine and my partners personal goals at the start was primo and the monthly management meetings were good.

    Having your weekly agenda, discussion points and action items was very helpful to keep moving forward. Your documented lists were great to review. Your personal integrity and energy is a tonic and your encouragement too has been so very valuable to help me shift from the place I was at.”

    Salon Owner & Wholesaler

Scott has lived in Marlborough since 1999 and has seen the region transform through growth in Tourism, Wine, Aquaculture and cutting edge Agri-tech.

Over the last 25 years Scott has worked at GM/COO level in Tourism, Medicinal Cannabis and light Manufacturing and brings to the team a solid understanding of all business disciplines  required by the business owner.

Areas of Experience

  • Strategic and subsequent Operational Planning
  • Sales and Marketing
  • HR Recruitment and Onboarding
  • Team Development, Training, Culture and Wellbeing
  • Health and Safety
  • Systems and Process development – I love SOPs!!
  • Technology and Software

Scott has been described by colleagues as the “calm in the storm”, someone you want on your side when things go sideways.  A “Big thinker who can picture the whole operation and understand pulling a level here will have an effect here, here and here”  He is also practical and tackles business in clear plain English, technical business terminology is banned as we look for positive outcomes to tricky challenges.

Focus Areas:

  • Getting some “life” back for business owners
  • Developing your business structure and processes to remove the owner from constant distraction
  • Reduce and remove the “Pain Points” that keep you awake at night
  • Create financial stability
  • Create a sustainable business which is scalable…  or not..  Keeping in mind that not all business owners want to grow.

Scott lives in Marlborough with his wife Jacqui in their empty nest (which is taking its time to adjust to).   Luckily the 3 adult kids are also into boating, fishing, diving so family time in the Marlborough Sounds is gold.

Scott is available for a no-obligation informal coffee chat at a time to suit.
