Company Profile
Melin Consultants are 'Part L' solution specialists and have been providing assessments, calculations, air pressure testing and other bespoke services for the residential and commercial sectors since 2006.

Challenge
My business partner and I realised that in order to advance our business, we needed to better understand where each other's strengths and weaknesses lay. In doing so, this would help us work more effectively together.
Journey
We developed numerous skills on the programme. Much of this came through direct interaction with the other LEAD cohorts. It further encouraged a professional approach to our work.
Impact
As a direct result of the LEAD Wales programme, we have seen our turnover grow over 20% and an increase in profitability of 15%. Additionally, we have taken on four new members of staff in the last 12 months.
