Team Coaching
“At the beginning of the year we met with all the sales team to set goals for the growth of our company over the next 3 years. The outcome was a highly ambitious plan to take the business to a whole new level. It soon became clear however, that our ambition would benefit from being tested, challenged and supported with the help and guidance of an external business coach with experience of helping companies to grow.”

Company reap rewards of our Team Coaching Programme
Kinley Systems Ltd supplies bespoke edging, decking, tiling and raised flooring products, making it possible to create amazing outdoor spaces and gardens for people to enjoy. They work predominantly with landscape architects, designers and contractors on both small and large scales projects across the UK and Europe. The company was formed by Stuart Bowie 8 years ago. It typifies one of the many family run businesses in the UK, with father, sons and cousins working in all areas of the company. Having redefined their brand, brochures and website, the senior management team of 8 have set some hugely ambitious goals to grow their business over the next 3 – 5 years. This will involve moving to new purpose built premises, investing in their people and applying innovative marketing and sales strategies
Stuart was keen to engage the services of a professional business coach and met with a number of coaching providers. He selected New Level Results who have a strong track record in helping family run businesses to develop effective growth strategies, whilst at the same time developing the capability of the management team. After an initial coaching meeting to establish the 3 year outlook for the business Stuart committed to a 12 month Team Coaching and Development Programme. The programme began by engaging all employees to participate in an exercise to identify the values which underpinned the culture and ethos of the Company. The exercise gained buy in from everyone and has helped the Company to reframe its presentations and communications with clients.
The senior management team now have a detailed implementation plan over the next 12 months involving growth, innovation, exporting and achieving an investors in people award.
Kinley is only 6 months into the coaching programme and they have been able to identify specific areas with their sales process where improvements can be made. In a challenging market the Company has an impressive and positive outlook.
“My team and I met with several coaches. We chose New Level Results predominantly because of the track record of the coach, his positive outlook, early helpful suggestions and the online tracking tool that helps everyone on the team to measure progress and hold each other accountable.
We signed up for a 12 month Team Coaching Programme which began by bringing the whole company together to create a set of company values. These have become the driver for the way we work and present our business to prospective clients. We now feel we are on a journey that is clearly mapped out, with more focused and proactive planning and clear measures in place to ensure we deliver the results we want.
Our coach is constantly challenging us to step outside of our comfort zone and live to our values and I am delighted with the progress we have made.
New Level Results was most definitely the best choice for us and we have had no hesitation in recommending them to others”
