No. 1 Baxi installer in the country.
We were good at fitting boilers. We wanted to be the first company people found when they needed one.

The business was solid, but leads weren’t consistent. It felt like we were starting over every few weeks.
Northwich Boilers came to us as a well-regarded business that was harder to run than it should have been. The work was good and the customers were there, but too much depended on Matt remembering everything himself, and his evenings were spent catching up on the day.
Matt was open to a fresh perspective from the start, and that made a real partnership possible. We set out a clear plan for the business and rebuilt the processes behind it, so that the everyday running of the company no longer rested on one person. By looking at the whole business and not only the late nights, we were able to deal with the evenings Matt was losing and with the wider worry of customers slipping away unnoticed.
Good work by day. Catching up by night.
Northwich Boilers had the reputation and the customers, but no structure to hold it all together. Every enquiry and every follow-up relied on Matt’s memory and his evenings. He recognised that this could not last, and wanted a partner to help him put it right properly.
Where the business is going, written down.
We began with the business itself, and with what Matt wanted his working week to look like. From there we set out a clear business plan together, shaped around his ambitions for the company and for his own time, rather than a generic template.
Carrying it all himself
His evenings back
No customer missed
One clear business plan
Processes to run it
Matt owns it
Structure where there had been memory.
Once the plan was in place, we rebuilt the way the business runs day to day. Every customer now follows a clear path from first contact to finished job, and because Matt helped shape each part of it, it belongs to the business and not to us.
Less stress. Nothing slipping.
Matt now finishes work when the working day ends. No customer is left waiting or forgotten, and the worry of losing work has gone. He also has the time and the headspace to think about what comes next.
That’s what partnering with us looks like. A clear plan, the processes rebuilt around it, and an owner with his time back.
Early Dart got to know how the business really runs before suggesting anything. The plan we built together has given me my evenings back, and I know that every customer is being looked after properly.
