•“Bimbadgen Estate engaged Wine Business Solutions to conduct a strategic review of the business. The process was very
thorough and involved all the key personnel in Bimbadgen.
•The process also involved a fair bit of analysis by Peter McAtamney so that he could present a true picture of the business
to the participants.The business was not making money nor was it cash flow positive at the time.
•WBS’s advice included focusing on the high margin parts of our business and building the brand from the base in order to
leverage customer loyalty. The senior management team was committed to this strategic path. As a result the business has
grown its turnover, turned a positive cash flow and improved its profitability.”
- John Quirk, GM, Bimbadgen Estate
