Architects Of Their Own Future
Enact Business Architects has been providing business consulting services since it was founded by Trevor Holmes in 2002, including advice on setting growth plans for companies they have assisted.
But even before Enact had a single customer, Mr Holmes’ own plan for the business was nothing if not ambitious.
“I started developing the concept in 2000, and realised very early on it was something that could be duplicated,” he said.
“My goal was to develop a business advisory service that focused on small business, but that would eventually go worldwide.”
Part of that ambition has now been realised, the company just opening its international headquarters in New Zealand.
Based in Auckland, the operation, headed by business counsellor, coach and author of a best-selling business guide, Heather Byrne, the New Zealand operation plans to duplicate the structure being put in place across Australia.
That involves setting up a network of agencies, essentially regional development managers who operate under a licence agreement and are charged with servicing and mentoring the business architects in their regions.
“That’s the model we’re rolling out across Australia. We’ve been in south-east Queensland since day one, and we’ve recently expanded into New South Wales and Victoria,” Mr Holmes said.
“We think it will work best because each regional manager has a vested interest in growing the business.
Trevor Holmes took a leap of faith when he started his company. He set his sights high and had plans to make it happen. Now a few years later he is getting the opportunity to see that plan in motion as it expands into New Zealand. I think he’s a good example of why it is a good thing to set a goal, even if it seems unreachable at first.
