Lloyd Russell and his company TCB Solutions were introduced to us by a
trusted colleague to identify business opportunities and develop internal
systems to improve business performance. Not having prior experience the
services of a business consultant we needed to gain an understanding of the
services provided and where they could add value to our business. At the initial
scoping meeting it quickly became evident that our business would extract
considerable benefit from TCB Solutions through access to their range of
services.
We engaged Lloyd and TCB Solutions in April 2011 to assist us in setting a
clear direction for our business and to establish internal systems to grow
turnover and profit. From the start Lloyd challenged us to drill down to the
three or four critical things that drove the business, but more importantly, us
as individuals. Once we identified these Lloyd established processes and
performance measures that were linked to these critical (and not negotiable)
factors.
Outcomes we have achieved under the TCB Solutions system include
1. Internal systems are simple BUT provide accurate and timely
information so we can make sound business decisions
2. Our risk profile has improved and has been leveraged to achieve
favourable business outcomes
3. Turnover and profit have both increased considerably
4. How we interact with key business stakeholders is now structured and
focused on achieving good business outcomes for the Company as well
as the client
DRS Projects retain the services of TCB Solutions in the capacity of a
business mentor to guide the Company’s strategy, business planning, corporate
governance and risk management. Lloyd is a pragmatic yet practical individual
and delivers business advice based on thorough research and analysis backed up
by extensive managerial experience.
We have great confidence in Lloyd and TCB Solutions therefore highly
recommend his services to any family and private business.

I have known Lloyd Russell in a business capacity since September 2008 and
have extensively utilised the services of TCB Solutions since that date. The
range of services offered by TCB Solutions and the professional approach adopted
by Lloyd provided my business ventures with a one stop consultancy service that
satisfied our planning, governance and risk management requirements. Of
particular importance and benefit to me was Lloyd’s ability to think
strategically BUT deliver practical operational solutions tailored to the
business.
Our initial engagement of TCB Solutions was to develop a strategic business
plan for a start-up business. The plan incorporated thorough analysis of the
business environment and the subsequent commercial opportunity PLUS a
comprehensive corporate governance and risk management assessment that
facilitated the development of operational plans including operational and
capital budgets.
The ongoing engagement of TCB Solutions has been highly beneficial to my
business ventures through the access of the Company’s planning, corporate
governance and risk management services. I have confidence in the business
advice and recommendations TCB Solutions develop because they are based on
thorough research and analysis backed up by extensive practical experience.
Therefore I highly recommend Lloyd and TCB Solutions to any family and private
business.

Fresh Partners was referred to TCB Solutions in relation to a business
restructure including expansion into a new venture.
Operating within tight boundaries for 11 years Fresh Partners sought clear

has stretched our thinking and placed us outside our comfort zone within a safe

As Managing Director of Blueline Fabrications Pty Ltd, I engaged the services
of TCB Solutions in May 2009 to assist in combating the impact of the economic
downturn. Lloyd quickly identified the key areas that were critical to turning
our business around and together we commenced developing and implimenting
strategies to increase both turn over and profitability.
The approach adopted by TCB Solutions was tailored to our specific
circumstances AND more importantly Lloyd clearly outlined the benefits across
all of the Company’s business functions. This process has resulted in the
business not only turning around but has put it in a position to concentrate on
the functions that deliver benefits to our clients.
TCB Solutions has a clear focus on the bottom line however through the
incorporation of strategic planning, good corporate governance and risk
management the Company is in a much more sustainable position to grow as the
economy improves.
Blueline Fabrications Pty Ltd now engages TCB Solutions in a much broader
capacity. Business performance monitoring and reviewing internal processes are
the regular services however the Company’s true benefit comes from the strategic
input to take the business to the next stage of growth.
