Find out what our valued clients are saying about Palliser Strategic Management:

Extract of Letter from Mr Martin Cooper, 3B Consulting Services Pty Ltd- May 2010

…When I was contemplating starting my successful dimensional control surveying business in Australia , I was introduced to Geoff Widmer and the Palliser Group from my legal contacts in Aberdeen. It is a risk starting with some-one you don’t know and how you will work with them. However, right from the start I development a tight professional working relationship with Geoff and his team that gave me confidence to build the business with his services and advice…

I have trusted and valued his commercial judgment as we structured the business and commenced operations. I have been really impressed with the array of business contacts in his network that can be quickly be organised to offer services and advice to new clients and the dynamics of the surveying market… it gave us credibility and access to clients and therefore cashflow more rapidly… he quickly understood the technology which made it much easier to represent the company to the market…

The Back Office solution for accounting, working capital management, payroll, compliance, insurance, banking and superannuation has worked seamlessly and has given me a focus on the cashflow needs of the business—it is critical to know that there matters are being handled professionally. This service has provided a quality low cost solution as we focus on resources in growing the business…

Geoff has been a passionate and committed director to our business who gives me fearless advice. I look forward to maintaining this important relationship with Geoff and the Palliser Group as the business grows and prospers ….

“On a previous project, Geoff was brought in to assist me managing the “topside” or senior level approval process for a small yet relatively complex start up project. He brought some much needed experience and structure to our internal processes which covered a number of continents across a few cultures. We had some issues managing the communications process and outcomes with the board most of whom were located in another country. He put the right systems in place and to this day if you look at what was communicated it was perfectly clear to all and sundry what the issues were.

His advice was always frank, to the point and pertinent to the situation and we really should have brought him in earlier. He is a very strategic thinker and at the same time provides a great mentoring support role.

The advice we received was spot on and he quickly recognised the time for swift action and how commercial competitor and stakeholders alike would react. Geoff has the experience and track record in business and people ought to listen to what he has to say.

Many small and large businesses could get real value from Geoff’s advice and I would recommend him to anyone seeking help.”

“Dear Geoff, thank you again for your contribution to Dynamic Hearing. You have not only provided the contracted support on financial advice and Company Secretary activities, but you have also provided mentoring and support for me at a time when the company had no independent chairman. We have gained maturity in governance during your time with us... and you provided enormous assistance in helping us find a full time staff member to fill the finance role.”

“Dear Geoff, On behalf of the Board of Dynamic Hearing, I would like to thank you for your hard work and commitment as Company Secretary, and also as CFO and Financial advisor. You joined the company at a difficult time, and provided strong, strategic financial support and advice. Thank you for bringing value to improved board processes and governance at Dynamic Hearing.”

“This is the most complex transaction I have been involved with and I have no doubt that without your timely intervention on a number of occasions that the deal would have fallen over.”

“We would like to thank you for your contribution, support and genuine interest in the outcomes we seek to achieve”

“We engaged Geoff Widmer of Palliser Strategic Management to divest Destra of its gold and nickel mineral assets. Together with his partner in Perth, they are being very successful in realising shareholder value for our remaining mineral assets. I am very pleased with the manner they went about securing the mineral sales in a very difficult commodity market and I relied on their commercial judgment, negotiations and contacts to secure the deals”.

“Dear Geoff, It is exactly what (the Evaluation Report) I was looking for and you have done a great report, thank-you”

“We achieved our goal for our first client by having the new Talent Management IT system for Information City Victoria installed and operating on the due date 22nd July 02. It was a milestone for our company and provides a solid base to build a viable business. As the CEO of ICV said, “it was installed on time, on budget and it worked".

“Within a very short time, Palliser ... demonstrated significant industry knowledge and provided a very professional and detailed analysis and model of the business, its core strengths and weaknesses, business risks, potential competitive threats and financial position and actions need to increase profitability. - It is the basis of our subsequent strategy assessment of this asset. Pallisers' Principal Geoff Widmer completed an excellent job, on time on budget, and I have no hesitation in recommending him for similar strategic and management reviews”.
