K Lacey

We are a global cable distributor and cable assembly manufacturer. We initially engaged with Ed at Biskit through the SC21 C&G programme to work on our sales and marketing strategies for the future. Following the programme closure we continued to work with Ed on building these strategies further working on our Vision, mission and values and company culture and supply chain management. Through 1 to 1 sessions we developed deeper understanding of the needs of the business and our teams, these sessions are thought provoking and challenging making us more focussed on developing the mindset of our teams to be the best they can be in taking the business forward.

Working with Ed we have built and implemented a communications and marketing plan which has made our brand more visible and allowed us better platforms to reach our customers and suppliers. 2023 will see us working with Ed and the team on building our new website.

With Ed’s extensive experience, direction and support we have continued to develop a more robust and informed management and sales team capable of taking the company forward in line with our business growth strategy.

We highly recommend Ed, he is an excellent coach and mentor, very passionate in what he does and we look forward to continuing working with him in the future.

Addison Precision Engineering

Addison Precision based over on the North West Coast have been engaged with Biskit as part of our SC21 C&G journey. Through the stewardship of Ed, Biskit gave guidance/mentorship and training in order for us to complete specific theme’s within the agreed work stream categorised through the SC21 C&G process.

The work stream’s included compiling the business Vision/Mission Strategy, which also included a 5 year sales & marketing strategy which encompassed in depth market research, market sector diversification whilst also defining our companies Vision/Mission statements & goals.

Ed offered a very professional and well rounded approach to Sales & Marketing strategies whilst also being heavily biased towards mentoring within the organisation.

It has been a pleasure working with Biskit on our SC21 journey and would very much recommend the companies services to other SME’s in our sector of manufacturing.

Ed and Biskit have been hugely influential on guiding our business’s marketing strategy over the last couple of years. Working with us on a consultancy basis, Ed has helped us to strengthen our brand, identify our unique place in the market and bring our team together through strategy days and team building exercises. I would recommend Ed and Biskit to anyone, his marketing knowledge, fresh ideas and enthusiasm have really helped us to take our business to the next level.

The enthusiasm radiates from Ed as he enters your business. Bringing a fresh set of eyes that view your organisation from a different perspective can be a painful experience which Ed handles delicately I’m pleased to say. Introducing new ideas from many sources that may not instantly fit however adapting them to suit in a very bespoke fashion,to enhance & develop existing methods of working with the ultimate goal of improving productivity,staff development and satisfaction,ultimately profitability for the business.

The 14 month project partial funded by LEP and provided by Cambridge Professional Academy with Ed as our mentor is approaching the half way stage.
With staff involved in personal accreditations and individual certificates we look forward to a very exciting, productive & profitable 2017.

Hopefully all of our customers & suppliers are also reaping the rewards from this great team effort we all work together in the trade cycle : )

Deliciously Yorkshire

Ed from Biskit has recently delivered two highly interactive, informative workshops for deliciouslyorkshire members. The feedback from delegates has been excellent with 100% saying they would attend future workshops from him. Well presented with enthusiasm and expert knowledge, delivered with creativity! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Ed and his company Biskit for further workshops.

Biskit has been working with us over the last 8 months or so on our strategy and growth plans. They have given the management team a focus and helped us realise that we need to be working on the business instead of in it on a daily basis. They have helped us and the team on sales plans, marketing strategy and planning, team development and training, management time as well as just giving us general support and guidance to do things that will help us achieve the plans in our heads. They drive and challenge us all with the sole goal of wanting us to achieve our aims and ambitions. I would have no hesitation in recommending Biskit to any business who wants to go on a journey to improve and achieve.

We worked with Biskit to develop our marketing strategy from scratch. As a business which had not done any specific marketing before it was vital that we were able to profile our customers and map out which market sectors needed to be marketed to in order to develop our business strategy. We held a number of workshops as a full management team to identify what we needed messages we needed to communicate and then we spent a number of weeks working with Biskit to hone these down to a cohesive marketing strategy.

Biskit then supported us with on site sessions to develop a communications plan for different media channels including socials, e-marketing and events. We developed this plan for each target market sector and set out a structured plan for implementation.

Thanks to Biskits’ support we have expanded our brand awareness within the market sectors we are working in and are looking to usilise even more targeted marketing tools over the coming months.

Without the support of Edward and the team at Biskit we would not have been able to make the level of progress we have over the past few months nor to achieve our marketing aims.

Having met Ed through a training course working with the then UKTI (DIT) just a little over 5 years ago, my company decided to bring him and the Biskit team on board to help Develop a strong Export Marketing plan and use Ed as one of our external Business Consultants. This resulted in great success, taking the ideas we had and putting them into practice his energy, business acumen and obvious skills in marketing , made him an invaluable asset and helped elevate QBOL to be a company producing High Growth results every year since.

Over the years he has become a firm favourite almost all of our team , highly respected and professional. He has helped our younger team develop through training and one to one mentoring. I also owe him an awful lot in my own personal development , driving me to achieve more both for the company and myself.

He has been a good sounding board for myself and the other members of the senior management team, also giving strong feedback (which at times has been needed) this sound common sense approach is one of Ed’s greatest assets and makes working alongside him a true pleasure.

I would without any question recommend him to anyone looking for an outside consultant
He would add value to any company or organisation that choose to work with him.

I’ve worked alongside Ed for close to two years. The company I work for, employed Biskit as a Strategy Consultancy. Ed played a crucial role at the beginning of my marketing career. He shared with me his marketing expertise and knowledge and introduced me to the best marketing practices. He is amazing at uncovering big differentiators for companies, finding fruitful competitive spaces and creating a strong foundation for marketing communications.

He is definitely a great team player, he supports everyone around him to help them get the job done.

In those two years, I had the chance to work with Ed on a plethora of different marketing projects and his contribution to each and every one of them was unparalleled.

Ed is still my go-to guy for everything related to marketing!

Sheffield Futures

I worked with Ed for some years at Sheffield Futures as a fellow trustee. Ed brought dynamism and drive to the organisation at a time of much needed change. His innovative and creative thinking inspired leaders, managers and staff at all levels. As a leader he helped the organisation move forward into new challenges of service innovative, new business, much improved marketing and a sustainable future business model. Ed is great to work, an original thinker and networker seeking out new opportunities to help individuals and organisations perform at their best.

The Department for International Trade

Biskit has been great to work with on projects related to helping develop Yorkshire & Humber SME’s digital exports. They have been approachable, insightful, receive positive client feedback and are able to provide new ways of thinking on SME business issues. I’d highly recommend Biskit to work with.

Intergraf

Biskit did a great job moderating a workshop for European young managers in print. Participants highly appreciated the interactivity, the in-depth knowledge on marketing and branding and were very motivated to take back the knowledge to their companies and start working on improving their marketing.
