Our Values at IA Growth

At IA Growth, it is about “grey and balding” as we believe From Experience Comes Insight. We are delighted to employ those who have been successful in business and leadership and still have the passion, energy and creativity to help other businesses and entrepreneurs.

Given this, we developed our 4I Values covering both our in-house culture but also the client relationship.

INTEGRITY

By developing business owners and embedding business processes and people values we deliver growth and sustainability for your local economy.
IMPACT

Growth can be realized more quickly by minimizing bureaucracy, direct communication and focussed methodology brought by the “grey and baldings”.
INDIVIDUALITY

We offer a totally bespoke journey which keeps the business needs at the heart at every engagement. Not “one size fits all” to achieve growth.
INNOVATIVE

Innovative in our approach, we are continually learning and embracing new technologies resulting in the continual advancement and growth of our clients.

Graham Sleep

An engineer by trade and a LSS MBB, Graham was part of a small team that grew a US-based division of a global organization to £300M+ and from losses to profit inside 3 years. He then returned to the UK to do the same with a small business taking it from a break-even state to £500K EBITDA in 3 years prior to setting up his first business, which morphed into IA.

David Land

Engineer by background, David joined Tallent Engineering (now Gestamp) when they were a £10M company and supported their growth to £200M over a 20+ year career. As a main board member he managed and developed the Business Development, R&D and new product introduction activity across the UK. David spent five years running the Aycliffe facility and supported the sale of the business to Gestamp. He also supports many local boards including the North-East LEP, Chair of the South Durham UTC and a governor at the University of Sunderland.

Andy Briggs

A Chartered Accountant, Andy has recently left The Fountain Group (running The Pen Shop retail chain) where he oversaw the growth to £10M+ as FD of the business.
