Example Projects

  • A Tier 1 telecoms manufacturer engaged Plextek to assess why they had been unable to penetrate the UK market. Through our detailed knowledge of the relevant markets and large contact network we were able to identify specific issues that needed to be addressed. This led to an improvement in sales leads and specific invitations to bid for major contracts.
  • A European equipment manufacturer asked us to audit their internal technology and marketing strategy. We were able to identify a number of internal weaknesses and untapped strengths. Plextek were able to help rescue a specific project and assisted in the development of a new group strategy and divestment programme.
