About Garth Pickett

It’s lonely at the top. Do you need an ally to help establish your business direction? A commercially astute, profit and growth focused business leader? I have successful track record in multi-site management (at Feltex, Alto and Epic) and in adapting businesses to serve new markets, implement technologies and enter new industries. I’m a sharp negotiator, skilled communicator and an accomplished trouble-shooter. As an Advantage Business Advisor, I help business owners to achieve what they barely dream of – their life goals and aspirations. This seems a far off concept for many and sometimes we must begin by helping you get your business and your life back. But I’ll always have one eye on the end goal. I specialize in advising businesses undergoing trans-formative change. A reformed industrial engineer, I’ve worked with many manufacturing businesses but my skills are multifaceted. I can help to- Grow your business - at Vertex Industrial I established a business unit, brought a team together, developed and implemented a successful strategy, resulting in solid customer service and strong growth- Trouble-shoot/problem solve - at Vertex/Alto Technical Injection I led the turnaround from a loss to 30% EBIT ROTA in less than 2 years- Manage change - at Colorpak I re-engineered an acquisition to fit within the Australian-owned public company, managed cultural change, implemented a new ERP and redesigned the organizational chart. I resolved customer service issues which had held the company back for years- Achieve operational excellence - at AperioEpic, I assimilated a private company into a corporate, preserving the essential culture developed by the prior owner- Innovate & develop your business - at Vertex/Alto & Colorpak I led two major factory designs and a reconstruction project. The key to successful advice is delivery. I have a consultative and inclusive style that clients trust. Call me on 021 246 3501 for a free, no-obligation introduction.
