Scaling a Premium London Fashion Studio From Startup to High Yield Growth

5x Gross Profit Increase In Just One Year 

The journey from launching a creative fashion startup to managing a highly profitable, structured manufacturing studio is a challenging path for many business owners in the UK. For Diana Kakkar and Joshua Rosario, the founders of Maes London, that transition became a reality through strategic operational shifts and professional guidance. Operating within the high pressure fashion design and garment manufacturing sector, the duo reached a critical point where corporate growth strategies were required to scale their business sustainably.

Overcoming the Complexities of Managing a Co Founded Venture

Many driven entrepreneurs who establish companies with a business partner face unique operational challenges, often duplicating roles and stepping on each other's toes. Diana and Joshua found themselves spending nearly every waking hour together, making it incredibly difficult to separate their professional duties from their personal lives. This lack of defined boundaries often leads to operational friction, stalling essential development.

Recognising that these structural inefficiencies were capping the true potential of their premium fashion brand, the founders sought out expert business coaching. By partnering with an experienced ActionCOACH business coach, they were able to gain an objective perspective, systematically mapping out individual job roles and streamlining their overall decision making process.

Strategic Capital Improvements and Team Expansion

One of the most immediate benefits of professional coaching for UK business owners is the focus on expanding operational capacity. With the support of their coach, Mitali, the founders confidently hired their first permanent staff members. This foundational shift allowed the studio to transition smoothly from an overly reliant freelance model to a robust, integrated team structure.

As the team grew, the company successfully scaled its operations by moving from a small, restrictive workshop into a expansive, state of the art production studio. This major physical expansion enabled them to introduce additional machinery, increase their overall volume, and enhance their manufacturing capabilities to meet growing commercial demand.

Tangible Proof of Concept and Substantial Financial Success

The results of this collaborative coaching journey provide a clear proof of concept for any local business owner aiming to transition from a survival mindset to massive profitability. Through clear guidance and structured growth strategies, Maes London experienced unprecedented financial growth within a single year.

The studio successfully doubled its annual turnover, with projections on track to treble that figure shortly. More importantly, their gross profit increased fivefold, transforming a struggling startup into a highly viable, award winning enterprise that actively promotes the values of premium UK manufacturing.
