“Scott identified pricing leakage across the business that we had not seen — and implemented the architecture to correct it. The impact on EBITDA was immediate and measurable. It wasn’t a recommendation. It was done.”

“We were profitable on paper but consistently tight on cash. Scott quickly identified the operational drivers — inventory build, debtor management, freight costs we weren’t recovering — and reset the discipline. Cash position improved materially within 90 days.”

“The biggest shift was cadence and accountability. Before Scott, performance varied significantly across sites and issues surfaced late. After six months, performance was visible, consistent and problems were being addressed at the right level.”

“Scott’s diligence work gave us a level of operational conviction we hadn’t had on previous deals. He identified specific EBITDA upside — pricing architecture, working capital release, operating cadence gaps — with enough precision that we could underwrite it. That’s not what most diligence produces.”

“We brought Scott in 18 months before our planned exit. He systematically closed the gap between reported EBITDA and what the business was capable of. The outcome for our investors was materially better than it would have been without that work.”

“The 100 days after acquisition are where value can be created or destroyed. Scott stabilised the business quickly — management alignment, operating cadence, commercial discipline. There was no drift period. The thesis started being executed from week one.”

“We had grown fast and the business was becoming harder to manage. Margins were compressing, pricing was inconsistent across branches, and decision-making was too slow. Scott diagnosed it quickly and built the systems that let us keep growing without losing control of the margin.”
