“Toss pushes you out of your comfort zone in the best way. We’d grown steadily as a business, and we had ambitious growth targets, but he got us there well ahead of schedule. We now have over 110 full-time staff across three core areas: static guards, patrol services, and more recently, cyber security. Toss expedited that journey by helping us build structure, plan strategically, and make smart, sustainable decisions.

Hitting 100 staff was a huge milestone for us. Another one was transitioning our team from contractors to employees, which was massive, logistically and financially. Toss was instrumental in that process, and has further supported us in tightening up our financials – flagging unnecessary costs and improving how we forecast. Things that used to feel reactive are now part of a clear plan.

A really important aspect of us working together is that our catch-ups aren’t just one-on-one, they involve our core leadership team – our general manager, accounts manager, client relations manager and myself. He’s helping each of us grow individually while also strengthening how we operate together. 

Toss is an expert at getting the best out of people, and that’s had a marked impact on our client relationships. Some of our legacy clients have been with us for over 10 years. His support has made sure the level of service never slips, and we’re constantly building trust. He’s also helped with onboarding and growing our client base.

Working with Toss is easy because he speaks in my language. We waited six months to get in with him, and it was worth it.”
