Biccies Luxury Pet Products
Business Growth Strategy for Luxury Pet Brand: From Online Retail to Manufacturing and Exit
Biccies began as a premium e-commerce business selling high-end pet products including handcrafted timber dog beds, luxury leather pet mattresses, and salon-grade natural pet shampoos. With a focus on quality materials and elegant design, the brand quickly attracted a loyal following of discerning pet owners.
As demand surged, outsourcing production began to limit profit margins and operational control. That’s where we came in. Our small business consulting team worked closely with the founders to transition Biccies into a vertically integrated manufacturing business. We established local production capabilities, streamlined operational workflows, and developed direct partnerships with boutique pet retailers.
With the business now scalable and self-sufficient, we engineered a successful business exit strategy — selling the operational arm while retaining ownership of the Biccies brand and its growing intellectual property value.
The result? A clean, profitable exit with long-term brand equity intact — and a strong foundation for future ventures in the luxury pet goods market.
Commercial & School Clothing Supplier
Operational Efficiency and Inventory Control for Uniform Supplier
This Melbourne-based uniform supplier had strong product demand across both school and commercial sectors but behind the scenes, operations were struggling. Poor inventory control, constant backorders, and seasonal overwhelm were leading to missed sales and mounting pressure on the team.
Through our operational consulting services, we implemented robust inventory management systems, streamlined the customer ordering process, and introduced demand forecasting tools to help the business plan ahead rather than react under pressure.
The impact was immediate and measurable: a 22% increase in year-on-year revenue and a significant reduction in operational stress. The business now runs proactively with smoother seasonal transitions, better stock control, and greater confidence in its growth trajectory.
Commercial Cleaning Company
Small Business Growth Strategy for Commercial Cleaning: From Stagnation to Expansion in 9 Months
This commercial cleaning business had hit a wall. The founder was buried in day-to-day operations leaving no time to focus on strategy or growth. With quoting inconsistencies, unclear staff responsibilities, and limited client retention systems, the business was flatlining despite strong demand.
Our consulting team stepped in to rework the business from the inside out. We overhauled the quoting process to boost win rates and profitability, restructured team roles for clarity and accountability, and implemented a low-cost client retention strategy to maximise recurring revenue.
We also refined the company’s value proposition — helping the founder secure three major commercial contracts. In just nine months, the business doubled its monthly revenue and launched a second operational hub to support its rapid expansion.
From stalled to scaling — this is what happens when strategy meets execution.
Industry Association
Association Strategy and Governance Consulting to Drive Member Engagement and Advocacy Impact
This national industry association had a strong mission but lacked the operational structure to deliver meaningful outcomes for its members. Without clear processes, strategic priorities, or engagement frameworks, progress was inconsistent and difficult to measure.
Our team provided targeted association consulting, working closely with leadership to redesign internal operations, align advocacy efforts with member needs, and implement a proactive member engagement model.
We introduced a structured annual strategy built on data, not guesswork to guide planning, reporting, and execution. As a result, membership numbers grew, government relationships improved, and the association transitioned from reactive to strategic.
The outcome? A professional, member-focused organisation that’s now equipped to lead, influence, and deliver lasting value.
