CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"KGP offers a valuable service for Kiwi businesses who need to understand
international business practices quickly.
KGP has proven experience with its founder Alvin Donovan having the requisite
international experience to take a Kiwi company and list it.
I believe the founder, Alvin Donovan, has exceptional skills and experiences
in international financing, marketing and commerce that are hard to match here
in New Zealand. In order to become more commercially savvy in international
business deals I see Alvin as an excellent mentor, advisor and consultant who
can deliver results.
The main benefit is the exceptional international business skills and
experiences that Kgp brings.
They are able to chunk down or chunk up in terms of finding appropriate business
solutions that suit my needs. Building the mindset is just as important as building
commercial capacity of my business. KGP is able to bring a range of unique skills
that extend beyond the normalbusiness consultancy."
Hirini Reedy
Rangatahi International Ltd
"Organizations such as KGP provide such a valuable service to home-grown
companies: by helping to remove the myths, uncertainties and unknowns for
companies and individuals that are seeking to expand their business interests
into the unknown.
By removing all of these elements the company can once again return to its clarity of
vision and focus on the core business and indeed their expertise, allowing a strategic
partner or ally to guide them into the new market place on their own terms.
Our company's interests with KGP are totally along the lines ofwhat has been written in
the above. By allowing KGP to seek partners for our business efforts offshore, in line
with our specific requirements, we are now able to focus on our core competencies and
continue building our company without the distractions of identifying potential partners
for future growth. With KGP on our side, we feel secure that the right partners will find us.
Edward Batt, CEO, Delta Nine Consultants, Oil Technology
"Growing and expanding companies don't know what they need, or what they want , and
in some cases find out the answers more by good luck than good management.
Local opinions are often limited in the understanding of the person giving them because
they either don't understand the business they are giving it to, or they don't have the
experience local or overseas.
Kiwi Growth Partners does. Alvin Donovan has the overseas experience and the skills
to show companies how to enhance their vision, and to consider the possibilities long
term of where they could take their company.
Companies need a one stop shop that can either give them the advice, support they need
directly or indirectly, by just going to the one stop shop.
They don't need to use half a dozen different companies, they don't need to get the good
idea from one source and then go to the bank to get the money to fund it necessarily. They
don't need to go to a marketing consultant, or a finance consultant. Kiwi Growth partners
does it all for them."
