Press Release: Harrison Beale and Owen set the bench-mark

Businesses are being given the chance to get the edge over their competitors after a new service which allows organisations to rank themselves against their opposition was launched.Financial experts and chartered accountants Harrison Beale and Owen, which has offices in Leamington and Coventry, has launched a new bench-marking service which allows companies to see how they are performing in relation to their competitors.Key performance indicators such as sales growth, profitability and return on capital are analysed to produce a snapshot of business achievements which allows companies to be graded in relation to others in their industry.This allows business owners to see where their organisation is performing well and identify areas where it can improve.The service provides a 25-page written report including graphical analysis and comparison statistics which can then be followed up and reviewed during a meeting with one of the expert members of the Harrison Beale and Owen team.Greg Philp, business advisory manager at HB&O, said: “When those responsible for running a business are completely absorbed in that environment it can be difficult to look objectively at their organisation and identify areas where it could improve.“It can also be tricky to identify areas where competitors are outperforming a business without the correct tools and expertise.“The bench-marking service is the ideal solution to both of these hurdles and it is a valuable tool which, when combined with the expert advice of our highly experienced team, can help give businesses that vital edge over their competitors.”For more information on the bench-marking service, contact Greg Philp at the Harrison Beale and Owen offices on 01926 422292.ENDSMedia enquiries:Simon GilbertAdvent Communications2 Edison BuildingElectric WharfSandy LaneCoventry CV1 4JATel: 024 7663 3636http://www.advent-communications.co.uk
