 Our Mission

Our Mission is to Grow Business Profit for our clients. We fully understand that we will not grow profit for our own business if we cannot do it for our clients.

"Take good care of those who work for you, and you will float to greatness on their achievements" - Ray Kroc, McDonald's.

Grow Foodservice Profit Through:

Strategy
"Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable" – Dwight D Eisenhower.

High Performance
“Whether you sell hamburgers or computers, we are all in the customer service business. Our goal must be to exceed our customer's expectations every day" - Dave Thomas, Founder Wendy's Corporation. 

Commonsense
"Commonsense is not so common" – Voltaire.

        Conor Cunneen: Principal

Background includes General Management Ireland, Marketing Director UK, Vice-President Marketing USA. Conor has worked with Heineken, Nokia (disposable products) and Unilever Bestfoods. He has a demonstrated ability to build high performing teams across different cultures, which have generated record results and been referenced in internal company case study material.  

Particular expertise in profitable Business Growth via:  

Strategic Business Positioning – identifying company strengths/weaknesses especially in relation to key Competitors and Market Environment. Strategic Business Positioning will help identify optimal growth strategies for your business.

Brand Strategy and Brand Development – How you position your brands, the products and communication tools you use to do so, are some of the most critical profit generating decisions you will make. Conor’s experience in brand initiation, brand development and brand re-positioning in Europe and USA offers clients a rich source to help them generate incremental profits.

Innovation – Tomorrow’s profits are determined by what you do today on Innovation. While numerous studies indicate that the success rates associated with Innovation are mixed, your potential for success will improve dramatically through utilization of systematic planning processes based on a real understanding of your customer’s needs. Conor Cunneen has extensive experience in the innovation field – both successful and not so successful (!) product launches. It is this experience – combined with sound business knowledge and commonsense – which can help you in your business and grow your profits.

High Performance teams - High performance strategy needs high performing teams for optimal implementation. High performing teams that have clear understanding of corporate vision allied to true customer insight can really make a difference. Consider Dell, GE, Sysco Corp. (Foodservice distributor)

Commonsense – Conor Cunneen believes that too much strategy is built via “four walls marketing” – executives who spend their time in their office, reading the expensive research reports that have been written in a diplomatic manner, but never get out to meet their customers or sales-force. Commonsense to us means having a true ‘sense’ for what is ‘common’ with customers and employees. The companies that have this commonsense grow business profit. top
