“Thrive Through Recovery”
Convert market opportunities into competitive advantage for the economic upturn
While it is vital to recognise the significance of recent economic events, it is now even more important to focus on the future.
The key challenges that companies currently face are
•driving enough business through the company and
•keeping the cash flowing.
Yet, when one of these start to fail then we all see businesses that are struggling and may believe that administration or insolvency will be the only option.
However, there is a third way, a recovery tool that is underused in Scotland –
the CVA (Creditors Voluntary Arrangement)
and predictions are that demand for this tool is going to increase over the next 1-2 years.
This seminar will explain how the path from first signs of financial distress through restructuring and on to a thriving business can be achieved by a mix of the right intervention, at the right time, with the right expertise,
“don’t just survive but thrive!”
Remember - smart businesses are using the current economic conditions to accelerate major strategic decisions. By seeking out and addressing these opportunities you could help your business and your clients’ businesses become market leaders come the upturn.

Roy Lauder, Managing Director Scotland, Shirlaws Coaching says…
“Having spent much of my 30 year career in international business development running two of my own companies and working for a few plcs such as Scottish Hydro and ESB I learnt a lot about what makes good businesses tick. Shirlaws is one of the world’s leading business coaching firms operating in Australia, New Zealand, USA, UK and Spain. When I helped start up Shirlaws in Scotland 6 years ago I combined my previous experience with the business growth skills Shirlaws bring. This combination and my team of experts have helped a lot of Scottish companies grow. In these times the focus is upon how to cope in a recession such that you can thrive coming through the recovery. The opportunities have never been greater but sometimes a few key skills hold back otherwise good companies. I love helping owners make good companies thrive – making them feel confident of growth again.
Ian Watson, Managing Principal, The FD Centre says…

I have extensive experience as a finance and managing director in companies and UK groups within the telecoms, software, engineering, construction, manufacturing and education sectors.

I take all kinds of insolvency appointment but specialise in providing advice to directors whose companies are experiencing difficulties. I am particularly pleased to count among my more recent work assisting a well-known Edinburgh restaurateur, whose business was badly affected by the credit crunch, to restructure his business using the Company Voluntary Arrangement procedure.
