After more than 30 years in the glass, glazing tools, and glass hardware business, Gary Dean has announced he has formed his new company focused on sharing experiences and knowledge as an independent consultancy group
The Truffle Pig Consulting Co. will offer specialty services in strategic planning, along with marketing and communication, product development, new markets development, and project management across the glass industry both at home and internationally.
Gary said,
“Friends and family, as well as several people across the industry, suggested that helping organisations project manage opportunities would be something of value, fun, and rewarding. It didn’t take me long to agree, there is more for me to offer back to the markets that have served me so well.”
Gary explained:
“I couldn’t have hoped for a better start either, with a leading international glass supplies group becoming my first key client, Glass Times commissioning regular articles and becoming an associate at Northstar Marketing. I am tremendously grateful for all the interest and support shown in this new venture”.
“I am particular excited about my new key client as I have distributed their products before in the early days of my career and later worked for over a decade directly for them in various managerial roles both national and overseas.”
“It may sound strange after many years in which I worked for a large US corporation and then founded OnLevel in the U.K., but now working closely on international strategic projects with this key account feels like coming home. My client and I have been able in the past to build successful new businesses together and I am really thrilled about the exciting opportunities we are currently working on.”
Gary will also be working on regular contributions to Glass Times, the leading Industry publication in the U.K., and as an associate with Northstar, Manchester’s award winning and leading construction industry strategic marketing company, working with brands such as Sto, TNi, Superglass, and Armitage Shanks.
Services available include strategic business reviews, strategic marketing, social media direction, video production, market research, new market development strategies, rebranding and new brand development and promotion.
