Case Study:
Ronika
Meet Rob Slawski, CEO of Ronika, which operates in the highly competitive electrical contracting industry, with a specialty niche in heritage infrastructure.
On becoming a Clear Path client, Rob had been in business 10 years but was yet to achieve the business growth he innately knew was possible. As a second-generation business owner and tradesman, Rob would freely admit he didn’t fully understand the profit leavers in the business, so often felt blind when it came to business improvement opportunities.
