CASE STUDY
Leading by Design –Business Link Wessex –Millichamp
& Hall - Cricket Bat Manufacturer
John
Boult, of Product First, one of ‘Leading by Design’s’ consultants,
conducted a business design diagnostic on the Millichamp & Halls strategic
direction. The diagnostic compared the company with similar businesses in
their field, and then helped the company to develop a suitable design
brief.
Product First also came up with a range of ideas to help Robert expand his
business and attract new customers, some of which Millichamp & Hall has
already used to generate new business.
For
example, the Millichamp & Hall have introduced a gift experience voucher
that enables family and friends to buy bespoke bats as gifts. Since going
live, the initiative has made a visible impact on the brand and added
financial value to the business.
