Company
Profile
Rosewood Associates has been operating since 2001, and is a broad based
business consultancy offering a wide range of services, primarily, (but not
exclusively), in the businesses that distribute or use plastic sheet and
film.
Although our clients range from large multi-national corporations to
small businesses, we tend to focus on the needs of small businesses in a
business-to-business environment. From time to time, the smaller business
needs to bring in specific skills and expertise that are not available in
house, and this is the project -based service that we offer.
In the past 12 months, commissions undertaken by Rosewood Associates
have included projects as diverse as:
-
European
market research study in the industrial screenprinting industry
-
Company
strategy appraisal in an intellectual property business
-
Planning
and preparation for the sale of a privately owned business
-
Technical
sales training within the plastics industry
-
Identification
and vetting of European agents
