What Waikato Clients Say

  • Having been in business for several years, I reached a point where I needed to start thinking seriously about succession and what the future of the business could look like. Working with Darren at Prime Strategies has been a valuable part of that process. 

    Darren helped me step back and gain clarity around the bigger picture — what I wanted personally, and how the business needed to evolve to support that. From there, we worked through strengthening governance, improving financial visibility, and identifying areas of risk, all in a way that didn’t disrupt the day-to-day running of the business. 

    What I’ve appreciated most is Darren’s practical approach, it’s not just theory, it’s about making real improvements that stick. The business is now in a much stronger, more transparent position, and I feel far more confident that when the time comes, we’ll be well prepared for a successful transition.

  • “The greatest advantage of having Breton on board was realized during 2020 when things got very confusing for everyone with COVID-19. We were able to leave it up to Breton to bring us current information around requirements, regulations, and subsidies. He essentially took over, and that was invaluable to us.”

  • Raewyn and Darren have been working with us across all areas of the business as we prepare for the next stage of growth and expansion. We meet each week and so far have covered financial planning, operational structure, governance, and leadership development. The advice is commercial and grounded in how businesses actually operate, not theory. As a result, we now have a clearer growth strategy, stronger internal systems, and confidence that the business can scale in a controlled and sustainable way.

  • We engaged Darren during a period of significant economic uncertainty to help us navigate changing market conditions and protect the long‑term health of the business. The support was steady and pragmatic. Rather than alarmist responses, we focused realistic and pragmatic solutions, cashflow visibility, risk management, and making informed decisions as conditions evolved. Having experienced external support allowed us to act with confidence, avoid reactive decisions, and position the business to take advantage of opportunities as the cycle turns.

  • “Breton’s attention to detail and his ability to communicate succinctly has been very valuable. He has great knowledge and is very professional in all his activitie with us. We have managed to achieve goals which we have set with his help, which may not otherwise have been achievable. Definitely an asset to our business.”

  • As a firsttime business owner, I had strong technical skills but limited experience running and scaling a business. When market conditions softened and turnover dropped, I engaged Darren to help me step back, get clarity, and put structure around the business. The work was practical and focused. We improved financial visibility, tightened pricing and cost control, and put systems in place that allowed me to spend more time on highervalue activity rather than firefighting. 

    Today the business is stable, growing again, and we are adding staff. I now have confidence in the way the business is run and a clear plan for the future. The support wasn’t about fixing problems, it was about building a stronger, more resilient business.
