# Emc & Associates Limited
Emc & Associates is a Kent-based business consultancy led by John Mather, a seasoned business adviser with 25 years' experience transforming SME profitability and value. The firm specialises in helping micro and small business owners across the UK identify operational inefficiencies and implement sustainable improvements.
John's background spans multiple industries and countries, from Kentish retail and hospitality to energy sector privatisation and restructuring. This diverse experience enables him to diagnose business problems that others miss. His credentials include a BA, Diploma in Marketing, MBA, Prince2 Project Management certification, and partial accountancy qualification—a rare combination in the consultancy space.
What distinguishes Emc & Associates is their results-driven approach, evidenced by tangible client outcomes. A Tenterden retailer client secured a 30% reduction in energy costs through John's intervention, whilst simultaneously triggering competitive responses from their existing supplier that secured lower tariffs. This exemplifies their consultative methodology: uncovering hidden cost savings whilst simultaneously strengthening clients' negotiating positions.
The firm focuses on making businesses demonstrably more profitable and more valuable—not through generic advice, but through practical business management expertise. They serve established business owners seeking strategic guidance rather than entry-level support, positioning themselves as trusted advisers who understand the complexities of running sustainable enterprises in today's economic landscape.
