HMV Media Case Study
HMV media is global publishing business, operating through retail outlets and on-line stores. It owns brands like HMV Stores, Waterstones and Dillons.
The business had grown through a series of acquisitions, integration and expansion. This growth was funded through EMI and venture capital investment and the group was geared up for a public share In 2003 on the AIM.
The business had identified a need to build and strengthen its top executive team and to develop its vision and strategy for the future. This growth was taking place at a time of huge change in the High Street marketplace and the video, DVD, digital and on-line music revolution.
We worked with the Chief Executive and senior management team, coaching them through this business development and flotation process.
Our work provided clear benefits to the business in terms of:
- Growth in revenue, market share and profitability.
- A stronger, more strategic global management team.
- A successful flotation.
- A significant return to their investors.
