What our clients say about us

"We have been working with Grant for more than 20 years and have relied on his expertise during the acquisition, growth and sale of a range of business ventures through this time. He has a sound appreciation for our personal goals and provides us with the high-level business advice and support we need to make the most of our opportunities. His breadth and depth of knowledge, negotiation skills and in particular his ability to bring new ideas to our businesses, have been a significant asset that continues to play a pivotal role in growing and protecting our business and realising our long-term dreams."

"The Innovation Opportunity is aptly titled. The book provides helpful tips and pointers to allow any organization to improve its ability to innovate."

Scott D. Anthony
Author: "The Little Black Book of Innovation" and "Eat, Sleep, Innovate"

“By following the processes author Grant Ferry outlines in Book 1 of The Innovation Opportunity, business owners can transform ideas into a powerful and sustainable competitive advantage. Critically, the processes Grant outlines are based on practical application and experience, not just theory.”

Bruce Hall
Small Business Consultant & Mentor

“I strongly recommend The Innovation Opportunity to any business owner looking to grasp the key concepts of innovation. We have implemented much of this knowledge to great effect in our business and cannot overstate its value.”

Greg Pierlot
Principal, The 500 Group

“In Book 2 of The Innovation Opportunity, author Grant Ferry details the fundamentals of business management and strategy to ensure that your innovation efforts are focused where they count. While most people understand innovation is critical to success, many businesses fail to focus on developing their innovation capabilities, and very few undertake the essential groundwork required for successful and ongoing innovation activity. Misguided innovation is a recipe for disaster and equally detrimental as failing to innovate. Having been in business for many years, I only wish that I had access to this book years ago. It’s a powerhouse of knowledge essential to every business, especially those wanting to get the most from their innovation efforts.”

Frank Tierney
Managing Director, Tierney Property Group

“Our family has known Grant Ferry of Fortitude for many years. In that time, Grant and the team at Fortitude have helped us successfully complete many challenging projects. Grant and his team have been there every step of the way, making sure that we get the most out of every venture. If you’re looking for a business adviser, you cannot go past Fortitude, their professional and hands-on approach is second to none. I would strongly advise any business owner to chat with Grant and his team before you do anything.”

We have benefitted greatly as a business as a result of his input.”

“Grant has been a great asset to The 500 Group, providing business advisory and strategic planning services. Grant’s expertise and advice helped navigate The 500 Group through complex commercial and legal issues and assisted enormously in the growth of the business. We are grateful for his support and professionalism and would recommend Grant to anyone who is looking to maximise the value of their business.”

Greg Pierlot
Managing Director, The 500 Group

“I have known Grant for many years and have worked collaboratively with him to assist his clients with their legal and taxation needs. During this time, I have been extremely impressed by Grant’s comprehensive understanding of his clients’ businesses and the care and concern he shows for addressing his clients’ issues. Grant is a very proactive adviser, thinking two or three steps ahead and addressing issues before they become a problem. I have seen first-hand on numerous occasions how Grant’s skills and deep understanding of how businesses operate have led to genuinely innovative solutions.” “As a legal adviser, it is a great help working with an adviser who has such a comprehensive knowledge of what the client is looking to achieve and can add his own experience and lateral thinking to resolve legal issues. Above all, Grant takes genuine care of his clients, treating the needs of their business as if it were his own. No stone is left unturned if it can lead to an improvement in the business or could become a problem in the future. I would recommend Grant to any small to medium business owner who is looking to improve the way their business operates, needs help to address something holding the business back, or wants a knowledgeable and trusted adviser to help guide them.”
