JON BROUGH

Jon has been our Business Coach for several months now and has coached us through a tricky period of divestment from a Joint Venture company and focussing on our core business. He is coaching us in strategic planning, analysing risk and general business administration to strengthen our own capability level to become successful. We are happy to recommend Jon as a Business Coach and Advisor.

Jon has been working with us on restructuring our business after a separation of partners. He has been teaching us how to create and implement a focussed business plan that aligns key staff members on achieving their delegated goals as part of the 3-year plan. We have also learnt a better style of marketing and sales communication and that is having its rewards. We are more than happy to endorse Jon’s capabilities as a Business Coach.

Jon has taught us the importance of having a Strategic Plan that is created by the whole team and reviewed on a regular basis. This has moved us into a more effective organisational structure and growth into a new region in the North Island. The company is now resourced and highly capable of achieving its growth plans.

We engaged with Jon to better understand how we could progress our business. Since then, we have gained confidence in clarifying our goals and resourcing our structure to execute our goals of growth in Northland. Jon is a coach and advisor and works with us to ensure we have thought through the issues and focussed on the best outcomes at least risk. We are happy to recommend Jon as a Business Coach and Advisor.

We have been working with Jon to understand how to rationalise our investment in two separate entities, obtain clarity in our direction and make decisions that we can move forward with and manage on our own account. We are succeeding. Jon has nurtured and assisted us in our processes, both strategic and at a personal level to better understand our business and what we want personally from our business. We have no hesitation in recommending Jon for his ability to understand the personal link to a business and how to connect it to success.

Over the past five months, I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Jon to develop and refine a relevant client database, helping Morgan Engineering build market awareness and generate a stronger pipeline of opportunities. Throughout this time, Jon has consistently gone above and beyond the scope of our partnership. His commitment, initiative, and genuine focus on Morgan Engineering’s success are evident in everything he does. Thank you, Jon, for the energy, professionalism, and focus you bring every week to help us achieve our goals.

We have been working with Jon Brough as a business mentor and adviser for Sinbad Sesame Limited, trading as Simsim Tahini. Jon has supported us throughout the development and growth of our tahini business, particularly with strategic planning, pricing strategy, supermarket approach, and business development. One of Jon’s strengths is his ability to simplify problems and help us find practical solutions. He is always very responsive and available when we need support and often brings new ideas and different ways of approaching a challenge. His coaching style is positive and motivating. Rather than focusing on what has gone wrong, Jon helps us look at the options, learn from the situation, and keep moving the business forward. We have found his advice, strategic thinking, and ongoing coaching very valuable in developing Simsim Tahini and planning our next stage of growth.

Working with Jon has been a valuable experience for our business. His knowledge, practical approach and ability to see the bigger picture have helped us gain clarity and direction. Through strategic planning and coaching, Jon has supported us to better understand our business, identify opportunities and make more confident decisions. He brings a genuine passion for helping businesses grow and is someone you can trust to challenge your thinking while keeping you focused on what matters. I would highly recommend Jon to any business owner looking for practical guidance, strategic planning and coaching to help take their business to the next level.
