February 14th 2011 – Winning Pitch
We are delighted to announce the first major win to be secured by the Winning Pitch/Strategem alliance, which runs to a six figure Internationalisation contract. Under this contract the alliance will be supporting SMEs with high quality International Trade business advice and in-company training. The contract will commence with 2 high profile, large scale awareness raising events to which we are hoping to attract over 200 small businesses.
Both Winning Pitch and Strategem have a particular passion for working with ambitious entrepreneurs who have the desire to create better futures for both themselves and the staff they employ. This means embedding within such companies both strategic and tactical solutions that deliver sustainable growth. The international agenda is such a topical issue at present as the UK economy suffers one of the most significant changes in decades. This drives ambitious companies to think differently and expand their horizons to new markets. In an increasingly international market place businesses need to be thinking globally from day one.
Clients will also benefit from the full range of business services offered by both Winning Pitch and Strategem. In the future, the two companies will be collaborating on the High Growth Agenda in Scotland and will co-ordinate the development of some of their business services, capitalising on the recognised expertise of both companies who have a long-standing reputation for the delivery of high-quality business services.
John Leach (CEO of Winning Pitch commented) “With offices in England and Scotland we strongly feel that local market knowledge and specific experience is critical and want to ensure we continue this approach going forward. In addition, our cultural approach to managing projects and client relationships has enabled us to reach this point, it is clear that we have the right experience and cultural fit.”
