Ark Electrical Services Group
Problem
For over two decades, the ARK Group has built a firm reputation in the electrical industry across the home counties and London.
Founded in 1999, the group has evolved to become a trusted compliance and maintenance partner to over 200 property managers, and offers high-quality solar and EV solutions to homes and businesses.
Finding themselves at a crossroads in their latest phase of development, ARK came to Butt Miller for advice. They had multiple opportunities for business growth, but the best way forward wasn’t obvious.
Having previously developed new lines of business with mixed success, the Directors were seeking the advice of a seasoned commercial accountant. They asked Butt Miller to work through the available opportunities with them to define a clear and actionable growth strategy.
Solution
The Directors of the ARK Group chose Butt Miller’s Strategic Planning Service to gain clarity on their future direction. Over the course of three structured sessions, we encouraged them to step back from day-to-day operations and take a wider view of the business.
Our role was to provide an objective, focused framework to facilitate open discussion and challenge assumptions. During our sessions, we defined the goals of both the Directors and the Group, reviewed the current position of the company, and explored a range of possible growth scenarios.
We focused on the most promising opportunities and assessed how well they aligned with the Group’s capabilities and goals to determine if they were realistic and achievable. From there, we settled on the direction of growth and created a practical action plan.
“We recently had a meeting with Roland from Butt Miller, who recommended their Strategic Planning service. He suggested we take some time out of the business to reflect on both our personal and business goals, something we realised was long overdue.
We took Roland up on his suggestion, and the experience proved to be incredibly valuable. It gave us the opportunity to step back and really focus on what matters most to us, both personally and professionally. The process helped us clarify our priorities and create a clear, structured business plan that we can work to and adapt as our goals evolve.
We’re now looking forward to meeting regularly with Roland to stay on track and continue building towards the future we’ve mapped out. It’s been a refreshing and productive experience, and we’re excited to see where it takes us.”

Benefits of using Butt Miller for your Strategic business planning
By the end of the process, the Directors had a clear and united vision for ARK Group’s next phase of growth. We created a five-year profit forecast outlining sales and profit targets, and documented each Director’s responsibilities, with measurable objectives to create accountability and momentum.
The result is a leadership team that is not only aligned and energised, but also confident in their decisions. With a clear plan and defined targets, ARK Group is well-positioned to turn their long-term ambitions into measurable results.
