“We backed Chris Denza when he approached us to support him in taking control of Mercury Plastics in 1983. The company performed above our expectations and became a significant force within the Industry within a short period of time. When a multinational group sought to acquire Mercury we made over three times our investment in four years. We would unhesitatingly back Chris Denza and Willowside again.” Michael Meyer, Chairman & CEO, Emess plc

“As Director of an AIM-listed Technology Group, I was always looking for dynamic individuals to run our many start-up companies. Willowside came to us in early 2001 on a two-year interim management assignment to head up a new venture, involving flame retardant chemicals for plastics and textiles. They had to co-ordinate the manufacture of samples and bulk product in Russia, identify and sell to customers in the UK and Europe as well as raise several million pounds of funding in the City. Our consultant was an excellent communicator, whose enthusiasm and integrity bring the best out in those who work with him. He quickly built up a fantastic team here, created the necessary business plans and formed the solid, successful business we have today.” James Murray-Smith, Chairman – Firestop Chemicals

“Elixir has worked alongside Willowside on a number of marketing assignments during the last few years. These projects cover a wide variety of industries, such as media packaging, plastics and chemicals, fire protection and an internet leisure business. Our contact consultant has shown himself to be an analytical and imaginative thinker with boundless energy and enthusiasm. This company is top of our list when management skills are needed.” Edward Holloway – Managing Director, Elixir Marketing Communications
