MARK FISHER, EIGHTY4 RECRUITMENT

I returned from England in 2014 with a business idea – just an idea. Friends recommended I talk to Zac, to discuss the merit of the business and the steps I needed to take to get it off the ground. I’ve worked with Zac ever since, taking Eighty4 Recruitment from an idea to a business with 12 staff and industry leading clients in just five years.

It’s been amazing to work on my business journey with Zac. He’s been a champion in my corner but also a voice of reason when I was being unrealistic or too enthusiastic about ideas. His strength lies in his business planning and mentoring but also his breadth of knowledge and connections – he’s introduced me to amazing people who have had a big impact on my business.

Zac is amazing with numbers and has been great at helping me recognise how to maximise the profitability of my company through focusing on what the most important big things are, rather than me sweating the small stuff. Being a solo director, it’s been so helpful having someone with his knowledge as a sounding board and, with his help, I’ve developed a very strong second-tier leadership team who are the future of my business.
