“Since working with Marc, our growth has been phenomenal. We're now predicting a turnover of £1.5million (had plateaued at £400,000) for 2020, with a profit margin of 30 per cent”
“Marc is the most perfect coach for
me. We don’t just get on in a business sense, we work as friends too, which is massively important to me. He can speak openly and honestly with me, still professionally of course, but it’s something I respect. He questions my reasons behind completing certain tasks and allows me to really think about what I’m doing. He’s even got me examining aspects of the business I’ve never been so keen on before, like how vital it is to know your numbers. “Since working with Marc, our growth has been phenomenal. We’re now predicting a turnover of £1.5million (had plateaued at £400,000) for 2020, with a profit margin of 30 per cent. In April, we moved to a unit double the size of our old space. At first, I was sceptical, but Marc
encouraged us to act like a big business and create the space to encourage growth. We now occupy a 5,000 sq. ft. unit, accommodating more projects in the warehouse at one time.”
Not only has the business changed, but so has my life “Now Grayers Graphics is running like a well-oiled machine, I’m determined to replicate the success with my other business, Uniformwise. We provide uniforms to local schools and I’ve currently got two shops open. With Marc’s help, I want to branch out to more locations and
Paul Grayer says his team now feel more valued

me to spend more quality time with my young family. My wife, Joanne, is thrilled we can now relax on the weekends with our children, Lilly and Lewis. I have more spare time and I don’t worry about what’s happening at the warehouse when I’m not there, so we can all properly switch off. ActionCOACH really has changed my whole life – an Action Coach is the most invaluable resource. They understand your frustrations but, most importantly, you work together on a solution to move forwards. I wouldn’t have achieved my goals, in the best structured way, if it wasn’t for ActionCOACH.” Marc is thrilled to be by Paul’s
side celebrating his success. He has seen Grayers Graphics transform right before his eyes. “It’s a breath of fresh air to coach Paul,” says Marc. “He always comes
to the sessions with his eyes wide open and ready to learn. The confidence he now has in himself, his business and his team, makes Grayers Graphics a force to be reckoned with. Being a part of its success makes me feel extremely proud. “Paul has taken ownership of his
business rather than it owning him and the payoff is immense. He’s now passing his knowledge down to his team – I’m excited for what in store for their future.”
If you want to change lives like Marc and you’re the kind of person who: A) loves learning and helping people; B) has enjoyed success in your career,
business or a sport; and C) is willing to invest if you see substantial returns can be made…
