George has forty years experience in managing and growing a diverse range of businesses, from a family run operation to a 7,000 employee multi-national export company.

While a raft of variables affect each individual business, George believes that effective communication in the workplace is the key to maximising staff potential – many business’s major asset – often underutilised – thereby empowering them to best perform individually and collectively.

“The two words information and communication are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out – communication is getting through”.

Sydney J Harris 

 

“George was directly responsible for the successful and cost-efficient restructuring of the administrative and financial management of Farm Stock Scotland. His financial acumen and astute chairmanship helped to turn around a loss making company while increasing our share capital and reserves by 70%”.

“I received extensive training and coaching from Phil Gray over an eleven month period while at HVO. He helped me immensely leading, motivating and communicating with small teams of contractors I supervise. He has helped my ability and confidence grow like never before, and he helped me realise the importance, incredible value and great results we can achieve when leading with integrity. Phil has left a lasting positive impact on myself as both a person and as a leader in the demanding mining industry. I know Phil has helped shape my leadership style and he has helped steer my career in the right direction.”
