I asked JLC to come and work with me, on an ongoing basis, to help grow my business. I know they are commercial experts and I was hoping they would be able to research my client market and find new business opportunities for our company. This is exactly what they have done.
Each month, I receive an agreed number of researched and qualified new business opportunities, with insightful detail that enables me to match our business offer. The team also include multi contact details for key stakeholders within the target businesses and even a suggested script for a conversation. I am delighted with our relationship and the time I have retained from the JLC team on a monthly basis is making a real contribution to our business. We look forward to a continuing successful partnership.
CEO - Leading Direct Mail specialist business, July 2024
We asked JLC to carry out a supplier market review for us. Rob and Jenny understood exactly what we were looking for and presented a thorough, professional and insightful piece of work which gave us the direction we needed to release significant financial benefits for us and our clients. It was exactly what we needed. They also proposed a one off, commercial benefit which covered their costs in one fell swoop with the ongoing benefits of the proposal going straight to our bottom line and that of our clients.
Director, Large communications business serving UK brands, May 2024
We invited JLC to take a look at how we could drive down our costs and improve our margins. We didn’t have available budget so JLC gave us a great commercial offer that, rather than charge a set fee, they would take a share of any increased profit they found, for year one. If JLC found nothing, there would be no charge to our business and therefore there was no risk to us and indeed only upside, by inviting them to work with us. We were delighted with the work JLC did for us, which identified and delivered significant commercial benefits to our business. Throughout the realisation of the benefits, JLC supported us along the way with their advice and expertise. As you’d expect, JLC continue to help us with other parts of our business and we look forward to seeing even more positive results from our relationship. Sept 2023
Updated Feb 2024 : As we hoped, JLC carried out a second piece of work for us, reviewing another business critical area of our business. Yet again, we were delighted with the work the team did for us, identifying significant commercial benefits for our business with their usual level of informed and knowledgeable expertise. With the same great commercial offer of JLC receiving a percentage of any savings identified, and no fee payable if no were benefits found, our business has seen a strong net return yet again, working with JLC.

We invited JLC to carry out an in depth market review for us and to support a piece of critical commercial work for our business. Rob and Jenny did a great job for us and delivered exactly what we needed. We couldn’t have done this without them.
Managing Director and Senior Leader, Europe wide manufacturing business May 2023
I asked JLC to work with our Board members and senior leaders to help identify new opportunities to drive profit within our business. It is evident that Jenny and Rob have an exceptionally detailed understanding of the marketplace and the potential opportunities available to us. They have developed a comprehensive benefit driven plan, identifying new commercial opportunities, and cost beneficial approaches. We are a market leading business in our sector with many years of experience and therefore I have been exceptionally impressed in Jenny and Rob’s ability to identify new opportunities for us, whilst recognising the great work my teams already do. We now look forward to working together to deliver the plan and make a significant impact on our profit.
CEO, UK based communications and marketing business March 2023
I invited Jenny and Rob from JLC Ltd to work with us to develop our business strategy, to advise our Board and to support Board members with their personal development with the aim of accelerating performance. They have worked closely with the leadership team to create a compelling and commercially robust 5 year strategy, supporting a multi million pound investment to grow turnover and EBITDA 4 fold across the UK. Acting as strategic advisors and business coaches, their commercial experience has been invaluable to our business. We will continue to work with JLC going forward to realise our strategic objectives including an ambitious acquisition journey to expand our business across our industry supply chain. As part of a global manufacturing business, JLC are beginning to influence and impact our wider Group ambitions, which should lead to an expansion of our Group customer solution portfolio to retain and grow our customer base across Europe.

Creation and delivery of a detailed investment case, and benefits led presentation. CEO feedback was ‘the work is exceptionally professional and compelling from an investment perspective’
CEO one of Europe's largest Ecommerce businesses Jan 2022
I asked Jenny to come and take a look at how we could really increase the value we offer our clients and increase our margin, at the same time. I was really pleased at just how in-depth a knowledge and understanding Jenny gained about our company in such a relatively short space of time. She worked closely with my teams and quickly identified the complex issues and challenges that we needed to tackle. JLC produced work of a high, professional standard with very astute proposals and ideas. We now have the opportunity to put into practice practical, commercial solutions that will make a significant impact on our profit in a few, very straight forward activities. In the short to mid-term, we have fresh ideas to help our business achieve the stretching goals it has set itself. Many thanks to Jenny and the team for all their support
Director, major customer communication business Aug 2021
I cannot understate how exceptionally impressed I have been with how quickly JLC have really understood our business and our strategic ambitions. They have worked with us to deliver a comprehensive and detailed 5 year commercial strategy which will underpin our ambition to double our revenue by year 5. The JLC team have delivered a plan which is financially sound and contains well defined, individual building blocks articulating our overall strategy. Alongside this, JLC have comprehensively reviewed our marketing activities, determining ROI effectiveness by channel and working up powerful new marketing initiatives and approaches which will form a key part of our customer acquisition and retention plans. It’s testament to how well things have gone that JLC will now provide me and my teams with ongoing commercial advice, support and input.
Managing Director, Retail e-commerce business July 2021
I've seen Jenny at work with her clients and seen first-hand, the impact she has on their success. Identifying strategic and commercial risks and then creating opportunities and solutions to drive revenue and return, is something she excels at. Her engaging and inquisitive approach ensures that she really gets to the heart of her client’s business. I would highly recommend her to any business looking for someone to help release their business potential.
Simon Blanchard, Partner and Deputy Chair, Data Protection Network July 2021
"Everyone should have a Jenny in their life! She calmly reflects back to you what should be obvious to you, in a firm but supportive manner. She will make you question what your true values and motivations are in such an easy way that you will discover some secrets about yourself and then make an action plan to tackle them and improve your life! I have some firm steps that I want to take and share with Jenny when I have accomplished them! Thank you."
