“Steve Wood has successfully contributed to the board focus in several key areas:
1. Good governance
2. Clear strategy
3. Safety risk assessment
We have a new look board, clearly defined goals and more importantly a sound governance position of both understanding and implementation.
We will be using Steve Wood as a company mentor as he also has a sound knowledge of both the business and the industry we are in.”

“Repeat Plastics Australia has a great history spanning almost 30 years. Founder members now in Directorship roles, have steered the Company from a small enterprise into a medium sized business with a great deal of further potential. Roaring Success were engaged after an exhaustive search of Consultants to help explore that ‘further potential’.

The criterion for the Consulting Companies during the engagement process was broad and diverse, coupled with Directors entrenched within the business who had ‘seen it all before’. Roaring Success were able to challenge the status quo from the very first meeting, asking the pointy questions, which small to medium Business owners seldom ask of themselves.

Steve Wood, as the Director of Roaring Success, was more than qualified to sit with the Board during the development of the Strategic and Marketing Plans, offering support, mentorship and advice, along with having the intellect to know the measure of each as it is required.

The well documented Strategic Plan was instrumental in the Company’s successful bid for funding from Sustainability Victoria, providing joint investment to expedite goals and milestones along our critical path for organic growth. Repeat Plastics Australia have partnered with Roaring Success a third time to help build our Strategic Plan out to 2025.”

“Steve Wood of Roaring Success has been the outstanding consultant in my 57 year of being in business. He put in tremendous effort and enthusiasm and became, in effect, part of my team for the 4 months we were involved together. In a family business the problems are not easily solved and Steve put the time in to understand the culture and encouraged us to find answers.

The answers were not obvious at first and amongst many suggestions was the recommendation of a suitable general manager that had extensive knowledge of good business practice.

The current improved results were started by Steve. I am happy to be rung for more details.”

“We started our journey with Roaring Success in strategic planning workshop.

I found such great value in that program that we engaged Steve and his team to further assist us with our advanced strategic and action planning with our entire leadership group.

The concepts and thinking that we were exposed to during these programs has changed our organisations thinking dramatically and we continue to use the tools and concepts with great success.

It has been really beneficial to us. In 2017 we won the Commerce Ballarat Business of the year award and in May 2018 we were awarded the “CEO award for an Outstanding SME” by Thales at their Annual Partners and Suppliers Awards. I must say I am pretty proud of that!”

“We are very happy to have Steve at Roaring Success helping us with our business plan and strategy. Steve has done great work in helping us to win the LIFT grant from the Victoria Government.

I don’t hesitate in recommending him to any business that needs help to grow their business.”

“Working with Steve Wood and Roaring Success was a breath of fresh air.

He cut through all the marketing hype and gave us a view into a simplified sales model and strategy.

This enabled us to clearly understand why customers dealt with us, how to show our staff what we did that was valued by our clients, how to hold onto and increase the spend of existing clients with these values, where to look for new clients, how to sort new clients into those who shared our values and those who did not. This also made it a lot easier to plan our sales strategy for the next 2-3 years.”

“Working with Roaring Success was a pleasure.
They offered professional and relevant inputs throughout the process.
Their ability to tailor their service to our specific needs was valued and their commitment to drive the project to remain within the time-frame ensured an excellent outcome was achieved.”

“We tried to develop a sales and marketing plan early last year on our own, but with not much success.

At that point we were introduced to Roaring Success. Steve Wood and his team reviewed what we had started then added their marketing skills and the magic of their Roaring Success process to give us a Sales and Marketing Strategy that will launch our plastics business over the next five years into new, exciting and challenging growth areas.

The team at Roaring Success maintained a high level of enthusiasm that made for some great creativity and helped provide the plan and some great marketing insight that I needed to lead my company forward in a tough manufacturing climate.

Thanks for your great support.”

“Fantastic session, fantastic service.

Thanks for a job well done.

Look forward to your ongoing involvement.”

“Working with Steve Wood and others at Roaring Success helped us enormously with a structure for our strategy development journey.

Steve provided us with a series of templates and a process to help us develop a shared set of Values, along with a Strategy and Action Plans to support our growth objectives of the coming 4-5 years.

We also learned what was important to our customers and developed a series of KPI’s to monitor progress towards our goals.

In addition to the tools and templates, Steve and his team helped us keep focused and maintain momentum on this important activity.”
