It's rare to find a consultant in any industry who will tell you what they really think, rather than what you want to hear. While I've sought advice from many people over the years, I've never really benefited from that advice in the way I have with John Maguire. His no-nonsense delivery and honest, direct advice is complimented by an ability to very quickly dissect a problem and provide a solution. Although at times I've thought his inability to understand "my industry" would be a barrier, I've come to realise over time, that like most businesses, the fundamental challenges we face do not lie in the details. As as all good problem solvers do, his ability to understand the "real" problem at hand has allowed me to cut through all the fog and address issues efficiently and dispassionately. While I originally engaged John's services to assist with cash-flow advice and debtor management, I have found his wealth of experience in sales, marketing, purchasing, HR, numerous financial matters and even some legal matters to be invaluable. As a business consultant, I cannot recommend John more highly. Anyone who is interested in improving their business objectivity, in need of cash-flow advice, looking for help with staff negotiations and business agreements, or simply wanting to better understand the dynamics driving profitability (or lack of) in their business, then John Maguire can and will deliver the results you're after.

John ran Drizabone with a passion through thick and thin, with a constant eye on the health of the business and the real bottom line impacts. One of his great strengths was to trust and allow team members to manage their responsibilities their way. The antithesis of micro management.
