Top Gun .jpg.jpg

Top Gun Tools and Fixings, a Blackpool-based specialist in power tools, fixings, and fastenings, has partnered with the Blackpool Growth Business Academy to scale its operations.

This strategic collaboration aims to propel the company towards a rapid growth trajectory, with initial goals of reaching a £2m turnover and eventually targeting £5m.

The partnership also includes Prestige Hardware & Doors, an architectural ironmongers and door supplier catering to both B2B and B2C markets. Under the guidance of Mick Cox, a transformational growth specialist renowned for helping businesses achieve significant leaps, the companies have embarked on a growth action plan. Cox's expertise has been instrumental in identifying and harnessing their potential.

Chris Smith, managing director of Top Gun Tools and Fixings, said: “Since we started working with the Blackpool Growth Business Academy, I know the support we’ve had has led to an increase in sales and the appointment of another member of staff.”

A key focus of the growth plan has been the implementation of standardised policies and terms, along with maintaining a consistent brand. Top Gun Tools and Fixings has introduced step-by-step instructions for staff, ensuring a smoother and more structured expansion process.

The Blackpool Growth Business Academy is dedicated to supporting local leaders in scaling their businesses. Their involvement has given Top Gun Tools and Fixings the strategic planning and expert guidance to achieve their growth potential.
