Matt contacted Chip25 when he decided to step away from the tools and to concentrate working ON his business rather than IN his business. This decision forced him to re-think how he takes the next step to build and grow Cowen Landscapes without Matt being at the coal face every day.
Stepping away from being the person that “does” the work to the person that “directs” the work is a brave step.
Cowen Landscapes is a well-established award-winning business with over 30 years of experience in providing transformational Landscaping projects as well as regular garden maintenance to homes in the Maidstone area.
Matt acquired the business and from day 1 has been the “go-to-guy” for landscaping projects and enjoyed no more than rolling up his sleeves and getting stuck in. The realisation that to truly build and grow an exceptional
business you can not spend your time “stuck in the weeds” (no pun intended).
With help and guidance from Chip25 Matt has not only managed to come off the tools but has successfully grown the business to double the revenue in 12 months and is on target to have the most successful year to date.
