Our client is a leading Bulgarian wholesale and retail company with a number of outlets in the country, servicing the construction and the industry professionals. Our client has restructured his internal organization to prepare it for the next growth phase and is recruiting a new Chief Financial Officer to enhance his management team and professionalise his organisation.

 
The Trust & Value Consulting Group was founded in 2006 to answer to the particular needs of companies in south-eastern Europe. Indeed, most of the companies in this region are confronted with similar challenges...

 

They benefit from:

production capabilities inherited from the "old days" that have often been acquired at a very reasonable price  or from production capabilities acquired with subvention of the European Union,

  • human capital cost that is about 30% of what it is in western Europe,
  • the proximity with their customers' markets.

 

On the other side, they suffer under:

  • a low level of productivity (about 40% to 50%),
  • complex and inefficient organisational structures and processes,
  • the absence of active sales organisation,
  • the inadequacy of their reporting systems and the absence of real enterprise resource planning software,
  • and the instability of the macro-economic environment.

 

As a result, the benefits are more than compensated by the negative aspects, so that, in the end, the production costs in western Europe are lower than in these countries. Without implementing modern management methods and techniques, these companies will not have any long-term prospect.
