Business Risk Management and Continuity Planning

“As a small trade-based business owner, I found myself in a difficult but all too common situation, one of feeling lost, unable to clearly see a way to success and burdened by the many weights small business ownership can have. That is until I had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy Bendall at a small business forum in 2022. This chance meeting opened my eyes to the opportunity that existed, business coaching & mentorship.

With a professional yet charismatic approach, Jeremy reviewed my business offering a full health check. Following this, we put in place a business plan with quarterly goals and budgets. Jeremy not only brings his positive, vibrant personality but a vast wealth of knowledge and expertise in the financial advisory and business development sector. Working with Jeremy has given me not only the tools to succeed in business, but he has given me a boost of confidence and self-belief, that no goal or business aspersion is too high. Indeed, he has set the path for success and offered guidance along the way, helping me achieve my potential.

I firmly believe all businesses need a mentor and advisor. You don’t need to struggle on your own anymore, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Bendall Advisory“

“Jeremy Bendall provided support to Wintec’s internal audit and risk functions over the past five years. With his expertise and extensive experience in risk governance, we are now in a much stronger position in these important areas. His handling of another recent assignment was excellent and added value in a complex decision process. Jeremy is a very positive and focused person to work with.”

“The Council contracted Jeremy Bendall to initially review our risk management approach and recommend improvements consistent with good practice. Jeremy quickly attained an understanding of the Council’s business and worked with the management and governance to develop our risk identification, tolerance and management model. We have also utilised Jeremy’s skills in facilitating Council planning. The Council has retained Jeremy as we implement this model and ensure it is embedded into our strategic and business operations.”

“Jeremy’s extensive knowledge in both governance and risk management have been of great assistance to the Foundation for Youth Development (FYD).  Our Community Partner model can add complexities to effective governance.  Jeremy understands these and has supported FYD with facilitated governance sessions at our annual Community Partner conference, which have been well received.  Additionally, Jeremy has provided strong governance advice with the review of our Risk Management Policy and Plan.  He provided a robust framework that was easy to adopt and manage, and importantly supports strategic decision making. Jeremy provides good governance advice with a pragmatic approach with is greatly valued by FYD.”

 “Jeremy facilitated the development of our risk management policy, assessment of key risks and risk management framework. He kept everyone fully engaged at an evening workshop and some left with more energy than when they arrived! His assistance has helped us develop a robust process that we can now manage internally and is relatively simple to monitor and execute.”
