New Newcastle-Based Strategic Business Service Launched

North East companies are set to benefit from a new strategic service that is intended to help them successfully scale-up operations and boost international market penetration. James Thwaites, former head of group marketing at high growth instrumentation and electrical engineering specialist CMR Group, has launched Newcastle-based Omni Strategic Ltd. During his six years with CMR, James was a key member of the company’s OEM Engine Business Line scale-up team, helping them to build global revenue while supporting group operations. Building on this experience, his new Omni Strategic venture will provide executive-level corporate support to local industrial, technology and engineering businesses, including specialist advice and planning on business growth, investor readiness, market research, innovation, and software automation. Before joining CMR James also held consulting roles with EEF and RTC North and has worked in marketing and account management with national and industrial firms. His track record includes building and implementing business and marketing strategies that have benefited Private Equity backed business sales in UK/US and double or even triple-digit revenue growth gains.
