Client Testimonial – Glenn from Marine Protection Solutions
"I’ve been in business for many years, and four years ago, my son and I decided start Marine Protection Solutions. While we had solid systems in place, we knew our Terms of Trade needed to be updated and properly managed. That’s when we brought Mel on board.
From day one, Mel has had everything at her fingertips, keeping everything relevant and letting us know of any legal changes and ensuring we’re always covered. The difference she’s made is undeniable—our cash flow has improved, and we can now cover business costs with ease.
Beyond her expertise, Mel is an absolute pleasure to work with. She shares our ethics, genuinely cares about us as people (not just as clients), and is honest and trustworthy. Having her in our corner has given us real peace of mind, and business is improving all the time. We couldn’t be happier!"
Client Testimonial – Emily from KT Cartage
"We’ve been running our business for 15 years, and in the early days, cash flow was our biggest challenge. Since working with Mel, things have improved so much. We now have complete peace of mind knowing our Terms of Trade are up to date and that we have the right legal terms in place. Before Mel, we tried other avenues with no success, but every time we’ve worked with her, we’ve seen results. It’s a huge relief knowing we can hand things over and trust that they’ll get done properly, allowing us to focus on growing our business.
Working regularly with Mel has provided us with steady, consistent growth. Every time we go to Mel, she has great suggestions on how we can improve things. She helps us see where we need to be and what steps to take to get there. Having the right advice and tools in place has been a game-changer. I always recommend Mel to others because I know how tough things are out there, but after the initial setup costs, businesses can really see a difference. We’ll also be using her for background checks on bigger companies before taking on work—it’s great having someone so knowledgeable on our side.
The ability to contact her anytime and get solid advice is invaluable. She truly engages on all levels, and honestly, Mel is thoroughly amazing and fantastic at her job!"
Client Testimonial – Emily from JD Motorcycles
"We’ve been in business for about five years, and in the beginning, our biggest challenges were a lack of knowledge, no real processes, and cash flow struggles. Since bringing Mel on board a year ago, everything has changed for the better. She provided the focus and direction we needed, almost acting as a business mentor, offering practical solutions that we could cope with and was always within our capabilities, there was no pressure and she could always see what we needed to do to improve things.
The biggest transformation has been in our cash flow and getting our Terms of Trade sorted—both of which have made a huge difference. Mel is incredibly personable and kind, and she truly understands how to guide a business without overwhelming us. Working with her has been invaluable, and we can’t recommend her highly enough!"
Client Testimonial – Read Brothers Hardware
"We bought the family business in 2021 and had known Mel beforehand. When she came on board, she updated the terms of trade for our on-account clients, ensuring everything was legally compliant. She also streamlined our account application forms, making the process much more efficient.
Mel has a vast range of knowledge and keeps us up to date with any legislative changes. She has been invaluable in credit control, and whenever we have an idea or a problem, she’s always there to offer a practical solution.
She is incredibly supportive, easy to talk to, and very attentive. Beyond that, she has a broader perspective on things, which is truly valuable. Mel is detail-oriented, highly effective, and extremely knowledgeable—a pleasure to work with!"
