About Management Insights

Management Insights was formed in 2003 by Mark & Janet Ballett, but for over 25 years we have helped businesses to grow and have unrivalled hands on knowledge of business growth. We have experienced and shared every emotion with managers and owners of companies that comes with owning a business, including the 'highs' that come with great success, and the 'lows' that inevitably take place at some stage with any new business.

After a while we began to see that there was a pattern to the way things work in business. We began to realise why some businesses were a great success and others, apparently similar, failed. We also understood why most businesses get stuck at a certain size and struggle to go any further. There were subtle but very important differences that often went unnoticed. The people who owned and managed the very successful ones often were as unaware of why they had been successful as the owners and managers of the ones that failed.

Our careers have been different but we have worked in a very wide range of industries and sectors, including...

  • Manufacturing
  • Construction
  • IT
  • Telecommunications
  • Software Sales & Development
  • Education
  • Internet
  • Defence
  • Distribution
  • Food & Drink
  • Energy

...and many other service industries. Often our involvement was at a senior level acting as leaders of national and international businesses. We were particularly successful at helping companies to see what they had to do next to continue with their success and exactly what they had to do to achieve it, often implementing the changes.

We are specialists in business growth and we probably have more hands on experience of managing growing businesses, and the transitions they need to go through to keep growing, in more sectors, than any other company like us. We work with you to apply this expertise to your industry, to your company, and together we can make a big impact on just what you can achieve.
