About AMO

We’re small and we’ll stay that way - small means we can react quickly to your needs and deliver a personal service. When you become a client, you’ll deal directly with a decision maker.

We take responsibility – there’s no corporate structure to hide behind. We meet our deadlines – that way we keep you happy!

We value honesty and truthfulness – if your franchise isn’t going to work, we’ll tell you – up front.

We enjoy what we do – we’re good at it and work hard, but we have fun. A client gave us a great compliment recently; “you’re not really consultants, you’re friends”
