In 2000 I sold the business to a public company for $7.5m. Working with Matt, role playing and coaching, he helped me buy it back for $200k in 2004. Matt is one of the clearest thinkers I know. He can cut to the point in a flash and brings clarity to otherwise not so clear situations. He is also a man of high integrity and does what he says he will.

As the owner and Managing Director of a private business you can become too insular in your leadership. There are psychological consequences and it has an impact on the person. Having Matt as an objective 3rd party has helped me find the right solutions and shared the pressures that come with running the business. Matt and his team have added significant value to our business and private investments over the last 4 years. They have always operated with honesty and thoroughness. I will continue to use PAIR Business Value as appropriate in the future.

I engaged Matt at Champion Compressors at a time of rapid growth for the Company while at the same time I had a very time consuming Role for USA Parent Company as Global Business Development Manager. As I was only in Australia for short periods at a time and needed to focus on where the Company would be in 5 years’ time, the challenge was to elevate the Executive Team to become the strategists looking out 1 to 3 years and the Leadership Team to run the Business and look at todays and next year's requirements. Matt provided a key role over a number of years in getting everyone to understand their capability profile and how that looked when the profiles were put together both with and without my profile to determine capability gaps and ways to work together for optimum results. The outcome saw Champion grow at an average of 25% year on year in Revenue and 35% year on year in EBIT while I continued to spend most of my time Overseas on global Business Development for the Parent Company."

Matt is an extremely knowledgeable, commercially minded advisor, who once he understands the intricacies of a business is invaluable. Matt and I have worked on several client matters together, and the process he followed along with the business acumen he brought to the table were exceptional
