High Growth Business Mentoring – increasing funding and creating an international market.
Ice Cool Industries Limited (‘’Ice Cool’’) is an innovative product design and development company, whose core activity has resulted in the development of an innovative new product, the Quiver Aeropoint.50TM.
Quiver Aeropoint.50TM is an insulating sleeve to enable users to “keep drinks cooler longer” and can insulate any bottle of 500ml size. The product harnesses NASA technology enabling the end user to maintain the temperature of their chosen beverage for up to 5 hours.
Together we worked on:
- Creating a business model for high growth
- Developing a rapid Internationalisation model
- Maximising networks and choosing what has turned out to be a winning vertical
- Developing an investment ready business plan
- Using my networks to get the right legal and financial knowledge to ensure we could get the investment
- Gaining grant funding
“We first encountered Norma at a stage in our business when we were looking for means to fund our first product order – at the time it was looking most likely to be through loans. We were unfocused and thinking small.
Norma helped us create a strategy to grow the company, through investment, to a profit of £1 million within 3 years. Together we worked on creating an investment ready business plan and worked on our existing product offering to be more profitable. Her access to a wide network of expert advisors have helped us build up an excellent team around whom we are flourishing.
We are now securing investment for a more cost effective product, have an international marketing strategy and network of contacts that will make it work.”
