Keith Jones, Co-Founder/Owner of designflow / Jones Designs was kind enough to provide the following reference:

 

“I have been in the CEDIA/Custom Install Market for a number of years. I have two businesses I own and work in. One is called designflow and we help CEDIA/Custom Install (CI) Companies create detailed system designs for their clients and the other is called Jones designs, which offers Complete Product Design Services to manufacturers.

 

designflow has been a great success and is now an established and well-regarded business in the CI Market.  Whereas, whilst Jones Designs has had some success, it had not really expanded to the level we know it can. I knew that D-Tools had used Gordon as a Global Consultant to their business and spoke highly of him. I also knew that his previous companies BBG and Peerless-AV had been very successful and so I reached out to Gordon for some assistance.

 

As a fairly small business, I had invested some considerable time, effort and money into various Management Consultants previously, which had not really paid dividends. I was therefore very interested to see what someone of Gordon’s stature could bring to the business, especially with his long-term understanding of the CEDIA and CI Markets. I am so pleased I did…

 

Even on our first VC call, Gordon picked up quickly what both businesses did and the USP’s for them. He really brought my mind into focus around what the short, mid, and longer-term goals needed to be for the business. He questioned how I approached both businesses and how I might expand them. I had previously thought about expanding into the Pro-AV Sector but didn’t really know where to start. Not only did Gordon clarify the reasons why I should expand into that area, but he also provided a clear plan of what I needed to do to get into that area.

 

His level of understanding, contacts and experience allows you to enjoy complete confidence in the advice he provides. I knew he had worked in and owned some very large businesses, but I was unaware that he had grown them all on his own dime and from very humble beginnings. There was no big ego around his previous successes, just rock-solid advice.

 

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gordon and Re-Sauce’s services to any small business owner in the CI/AV/UC or IT Space. He is a real font of knowledge, his contacts are amazing and he is also great fun to work with."
