We can help with export plans and strategies as you grow and look further afield to new markets.

He provided me with great insight and helped me to develop my understanding of marketing and the priority I need to give it. Having completed our sessions I feel much more equipped and confident to take my marketing forward. Many thanks Cormac.” Rabab Flack

It was a pleasure working with Cormac on this project. After he tried our pizza he understood exactly what the product was about and what stores would be best suited to approach in the Northern Ireland market.
