Stratford’s Chris Egner, Sales and Business Development Consultant, was featured alongside Angela Walker, General Manager at Westboro Photonics and Tim Moggridge, President of Westboro Photonics in an Ottawa Business Journal article “How Westboro Photonics is preparing for growth and expansion into international markets“.
While reaching international markets and top-tier clients was always a goal for the business, the team was having challenges figuring out how to scale up while simultaneously dealing with a production backlog hindering its ability to fulfil the large orders needed to win major contracts.
“We realized that in order to grow we had to get out of our own heads and our own little bubble and reach out to experienced consultants” says Walker. “It was a big decision, but it’s the best decision we’ve ever made.”
As the partnership between Westboro Photonics and Stratford approaches the one-year mark, Moggridge and Walker say they’ve seen tangible improvements within their business and the future looks very bright.
“Compared to a year ago, there’s a lot more harmony in the company” says Moggridge. “Everyone is clear on the processes, expectations, and direction that we’re headed as an organization which increases our customers’ confidence in Westboro Photonics as well.”
