Jaymac Solutions sought out ScaleUp North East for expert guidance during their recent phase of rapid growth. With support delivered by experienced partners who have successfully scaled multiple businesses, the assistance was tailored to meet the business owners’ unique needs.

Established in 1997, the family run business was originally set up to supply and recondition wooden pallets. After securing £2.15 million in funding in late 2023, Jaymac Solutions now operates from 4 sites across the region and has expanded its range of services to include storage, transport, exporting, pallet services, and packaging solutions. This expansion has led to exceptional growth and the securing of a long-term contract with a major international supermarket.

External support and perspective have been crucial for Managing Director, Wes Thompson, providing him the opportunity to discuss strategy and growth plans with someone experienced in similar scenarios. This collaboration enabled the business to leverage insights aimed at maximising opportunities whilst avoiding potential pitfalls and anticipating pain points. As priorities shifted, processes evolved, and new staff were integrated into the business, ScaleUp North East's guidance ensured a smooth transition.

Quote from Advisor (Craig Huntingdon)

“Whilst 2024 was a significant year for Jaymac Solutions with large contract wins requiring additional investment in new facilities and the launch of complimentary services, the business is not holding back. Wes has a clear strategy, designed to scale the business throughout 2025 and beyond by offering valued solutions with professional and responsive service encapsulated in a refreshed brand.

It was a pleasure to be on hand to support Wes with his plans and provide specific sector insight and introductions to potential customers. I look forward to seeing their continued success”.

Quote from client (Wesley Thompson)

“On behalf of everyone at Jaymac Solutions, we’d like to express our sincere thanks to Craig Huntingdon for the outstanding support he provided as part of the ScaleUp Programme. Craig’s involvement was not only incredibly valuable but also deeply appreciated by our entire team.

Throughout the programme, Craig demonstrated a wealth of knowledge and an impressive understanding of business growth, strategic planning, and market development. His insight, energy, and proactive approach were instrumental in helping us generate interest in our expanding range of services. He brought fresh perspectives and practical solutions that supported us in taking meaningful steps toward our future goals.

Craig’s ability to identify and connect us with relevant leads created immediate opportunities for us to explore, and his guidance gave us the confidence to push into new areas with clarity and ambition. What truly stood out, however, was the common ground and mutual understanding we shared regarding our biggest client, Aldi. These shared insights led to highly productive and strategic discussions that have genuinely helped shape our future aspirations and direction as a business.

His support has not only strengthened our approach to key customer relationships but also reinforced the importance of long-term vision and sustainable growth- core values that drive Jaymac Solutions forward.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with Craig and would highly recommend his support to any business looking to scale with purpose and precision. Thank you, Craig, for your invaluable contribution to our journey.”
