Leyland Group are at the forefront of suppling commercial vehicle parts to clients across the UK and internationally. With a turnover of over £16 million, Leyland Group is a business growing at an exponential rate.
When a high-profile change in senior management was on the cards, CG Professional was brought in to make sure the matter was handled efficiently, professionally and with precision. The instability and uncertainty the exit of an MD can bring to any business can have a major effect on operations and it’s crucial it is handled as smoothly as possible whilst ensuring everything is fully compliant.
Group Financial Director, Roger Swansbury – who has around fifteen years’ experience in commercial business strategy – contacted CG Professional to handle the issue, particularly as there was potentially sensitive information involved.
Although dealing with the exit of the MD was a single case, the manner in which it was handled, the expert advice and professionalism delivered by CG Professional, gave Leyland Group the confidence to appoint CG on a monthly retainer.
Leyland Group needed a firm that was proactive, able to fully understand their needs and keep up with the turbulent landscape of HR and employment law.
The help that CG provided throughout the COVID-19 pandemic was essential to the business. Advice on how to furlough staff was welcomed by Leyland Group when lockdown was first announced – the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme was a brand-new offering from the government and knowing exactly how to use it was challenging for many businesses at the beginning of the pandemic. The advice CG provided for Leyland Group regarding this was, according to them, instrumental in their business development.
Alongside the employment support CG have also provided Leyland with both banking and corporate advice with similar levels of service and support.
The round-the-clock support via email, phone and webinar provided a level of client-care to the Leyland Group beyond what that they hadn’t experienced previously.
