Five black stars in a row.

Working alongside Josh Gorton has been a privilege. His leadership, dedication, and strategic foresight have been transformative for Plant Grow Pick. When faced with financial instability, Josh was quick to act, steering the company into voluntary administration and engaging BDO auditors for a comprehensive financial review. This decision marked a critical turning point for the business. Josh’s impact extended far beyond financial management. He successfully streamlined our payroll function, ensuring greater efficiency and reducing administrative burden. I wholeheartedly recommend him as an exceptional Financial Controller and mentor, whose contributions have had a lasting positive impact on our business.

Partnering with Josh has been a game-changer for our retail and ecommerce operations. Their expertise in financial product pricing enabled us to structure our pricing strategy to protect margins — even during peak sales periods. They also implemented a systemised POS with robust stock controls, ensuring consistent product availability across all channels while helping us reduce excess stock holdings and improve cash flow. With their strategic financial insights and operational support, we’ve achieved greater stability, improved margin performance, and a more responsive supply chain.
