Case Study: Supporting an ESG software client to raise £2.5m to enable rapid, global business growth
Turnkey needed support and guidance to grow the organisation and raise investment for the company. SKCI offered a huge wealth of business and industry experience, which meant it was an excellent partner to ensure a robust and sustainable growth plan. SKCI worked with Turnkey to ensure the company was structured, with the right systems and processes, in a way that enabled and supported rapid growth.
Case Study: Helping a sustainability certification client grow from 30 to 700 customers
Planet Mark reached out to SKCI because they acknowledged the valuable expertise and solutions that Stephen Kirk (SKCI’s CEO) and the SKCI team could offer. It was clear that Stephen and his team possessed knowledge and resources that Planet Mark may not have had access to and they sought SKCI’s assistance to address those gaps.
Client Testimonials
In working with SKCI our key goal was to raise investment for the company, Stephen has been critical to that project and we now have our first stage of funding in the bank. SKCI supported Turnkey during the investment process by reviewing corporate governance, managing the discussions with the potential investors and developing a valuation model for the business. Following this investment, we have asked Stephen to join the board of Turnkey where he is helping us to develop the business further.
As CEO of a small but growing company, it is essential to have around you the experience needed to guide you through the risks and opportunities that you encounter. Stephen Kirk has been there for me, the Board and Management Team at The Planet Mark, mentoring us individually and providing vital additional expertise and resource for us to rapidly and safely grow the business. It’s so important to have that support there, on tap. But his support goes beyond his direct experience, it is also his calmness and humour that makes the whole process productive, rewarding and enjoyable. And that makes all the difference.
