Who’s Doug Jardine?
|
I started my business career in the shipping industry in landlocked Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Sounds strange; shipping in a landlocked country; but the challenges of Southern Africa provided an excellent training.
From Zimbabwe to South Africa, then Germany and finally Australia; I helped form and manage sister companies Bridge Shipping and Barbican Marine. They grew into several successful shipping and trading businesses globally. |

It was an exciting, challenging and problem solving environment spanning some 15 years. I was responsible for implementing innovative business models within the companies and our strategic partners world wide.
I got hands on experience in:
Profitable business modelling;
Shareholders agreements and associated contracts;
Company formation and tax effective structures;
International business processes;
Mergers and acquisitions and associated due diligence processes.
This unique grounding set me on the road to what I am doing
now. I formed Jardine Business Solutions in 1998 consulting to SMEs. A period as a business development franchisee fast tracked my mentoring, coaching and consulting skills and gave me first hand experience in this aspect of SME ownership.
We have a proven track record in helping businesses with the challenges of managing people, their market, competition, cash flow, and profitability. And ultimatly setting a course for succession, selling your business and a secure retirement.
No one has all the answers, all of the time. To give our clients the support outside our areas of expertise, Jardine Business Solutions has access to a number of strategic partners and affiliates who specialise in a wide range of business services and professional support.
They include:
Accounting and taxation, IT application solutions, services and support, legal, business broking, business and risk insurance and venture capital to name some.
So, after all that - “What’s in it for me?” I can almost hear you say. Well, one overriding lesson I have learned:
I wish I had invested in business support in the early days of my business. I would have avoided learning through the painful trial and error phase, fast tracked so many projects and had someone with me to keep me on track and as a sounding board for some critically important decisions.
Sincerely yours,
