"Several years ago, as editor of the “IPA Bulletin,” I was struggling with the need to add quality business development articles to complement the technical and standards articles for which the Bulletin was well-known. While it was fairly easy to acquire technical articles, industry-related business articles were much harder to come by. About the same time, I met Sid Chadwick, who graciously volunteered to write for the Bulletin. His articles, based on his personal experiences with clients and peer groups, were always on target and became one of the Bulletin’s most popular features. Sid writes with a love for the industry and a passion for helping organizations succeed by improving their clients’ economic well-being. Readers often wrote or called to say Sid’s articles introduced them to new opportunities or encouraged them to look at themselves and their businesses from a completely different perspective. Working with Sid has been a genuine pleasure and I count it a privilege to know a man of such high principles, integrity and influence. On a personal level, Sid has inspired me to a new level of excellence in all that I do."

"Today the print industry faces more challenges than ever before. Companies face a declining market that is challenged by an economy that struggles to sustain movement toward improvement. As a result, survival is not guaranteed.

Over the years Sid Chadwick at Chadwick Consulting has provided consultative services to ImageMark, and has largely played a significant role in both our survival and success. Just this past year, as our nation struggled to gain it's footing, ImageMark re-financed its operations and moved into a new 77,600 square foot facility. Much of what we have accomplished over the years can be directly traced to the consultative services that Sid has provided to ImageMark.

Often times that which one needs to hear is not so pleasing to an entrepreneur's ears, but needed. If you desire sugar coated services...don't call Sid. However if you look for a consultant who has his fingers on the pulse of our industry and you seek to "right" your ship I strongly urge you to call Sid.

My view is that as business owners we can't take chances on survival. If you are seeking to get your business pointed in a direction that gives you the opportunity to not only survive but thrive; I encourage you to reach out to Sid. I have been doing so since 1998!

Navigating the currents of a tough economic environment, tightening credit, customer client base that is challenged to survive is not easy. Sid can help you navigate these times not only to help you survive but thrive.

Want to know more...please feel free to contact me. Sid has my contact information."

"Over ten years ago, I was quite fortunate to find Chadwick Consulting when you were most needed. My business, which I started in 1987 with borrowed capital, had become a significant player with a national presence in a very competitive industry. We had successfully identified a market niche serving the short run sku’ s of national brands in the CSD market. While we were an approved supplier by the brand name, our customers were the franchise bottlers throughout the country. We produced what the wide web printers avoided until the parent company instituted ‘global’ purchasing practices and overnight we lost 35 % of our sales volume. Thus, the crisis to which you responded.

During the next six months, you counseled and prodded us along in a direction to recreate ourselves, While Chadwick Consulting was recognized throughout the industry, I had the opportunity to experience first hand the impact of your input in providing guidance to new product development, creating niche markets capitalizing on our strengths, developing a sound marketing plan, and providing the discipline to implement these plans. Needless to say, we survived a most difficult time and your continued involvement with our company became a valued resource.

Over the years you became an integral part of our team, providing training to our customer service and sales group, guidance to our marketing manager, participation on our executive committee, providing excellent market research, and instrumental in my personal growth while providing opportunities to participate in PEER groups within our industry.

I mention my personal growth because I sincerely doubt that without your counsel over the years, I would have been able to recover from the “new press” debacle we experienced in 2007 to 2009. We had built a company of a unique character, strong in creativity, diverse in our capabilities, and committed to our customers and our employees. Your footprint can be seen in all of these areas.

After the difficult times of 2007 to 2009, it was obvious we were undercapitalized and cash was a serious problem. While building a $20 MM company, with an excellent reputation and expertise in many different markets; it was obvious that the losses associated with the new press were a problem. One of the options we had was the sale of the company. I found a company five times our size with eight plants throughout the country who was looking to enter markets and purchase equipment that we already had in place. The synergy was perfect — the acquisition of our company was a great success. ROI no longer exists; however the personnel, customers and equipment continue to serve the community with the same basic philosophy. The spirit lives on for which I am very proud.

I have put forth this epistle for many reasons. First I want to thank you for the profound affect that you have had on ROI and Tim Roberts — you have been of invaluable service to all of us. I also want to thank your staff (Karen) for the excellent work that they have done over the years — research was very thorough and well thought out. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the excellence of your work and to encourage you to share this document with any prospective client or to post as a testimonial to Chadwick Consulting. I would go one step further and suggest giving my number to anyone that would like to discuss my experiences with Chadwick Consulting Group.

Once again, thank you for many years of friendship and professional input."
