What our clients say about us

We have always found them to be highly professional, trustworthy and thorough while at the same time showing a very genuine personal interest in helping us better our business in all aspects. Our business is certainly all the better for working with them”
I can’t say enough about Caffeine.. I had huge aspersions for Sobe Brown massive ideas but had taken the salon as far I myself knew how to . We were introduced to Rob and Tony at Caffeine by our trusted account Imelda hurley and have never looked back … All the ideas and concepts for the salon were not going to go to waste.. Because of Rob we have a recipe of vision and structure and we’re building the rest of the Sobe Brown dream . Rob has helped is define our core . Our team is strong and growing and our clients are so happy that there marketing for us and we’re still only in the middle of developing our brand .. Sometimes it’s lonely being the boss and ideas can become frustrations .. But with caffeine we have gained a very strong relationship where we have people we genuinely trust to share the load and and keep the road sign posted so we don’t get lost … We extremely grateful and supper excited
What is striking about Caffeine is the level of personal commitment we get from yourselves. I have been with other companies whose idea of involvement is a phone call every 6 months to tell that there is some generic one day course being run With Caffeine, everything is designed abut us and for us.
It has been so refreshing to work with Tony and Shirley as well as the rest of the team as they are truly interested in our needs, circumstances, preferences and what is best for us now and in the future. What really impressed me was the way Tony took the time to get a feeling for where we were at and help us move forward in a sollution focused way. Their depth of knowledge, lateral thinking and common sense approach is invigorating as well as helpful. We found them to be true professional as well as being ethical and caring in the manner they conduct their business. I have recommended them to many others and will continue to do so in the future.’
” The best decision I made was to engage the services of Tony Sexton and the team at Caffeine.
Twenty months ago I was faced with a number of business and management challenges in setting up my IT business which I found so stressful that it was becoming difficult for me to to see a way forward.In that period I found Tony and his team to be very professional and to have acted with integrity at all times. They are solution-focused and at all times seek the best possible outcome. All of the suggestions they have made have been constructive and practical. Moreover as well as thinking strategically and seeing the big picture, Tony and the team have very strong attention to detail as they worked with me to implement the business management solutions.My advice to people who find themselves in a stressed business situation is to look for the right help. There are experts out there such as Caffeine and with Tony’s leadership and direction and the team’s positivity I am certain they can help either struggling businesses to get back on their feet or new businesses find their way forward.
Caffeine was referred to us around 6 years ago and since then we have developed a very beneficial working partnership with them.One of the first things they did was to audit the marketing, sales, operations and people management elements of our business.Using the new strategies we developed with Tony we were able to obtain real quantifiable improvements in our trading performance.Once these improvements were secured we worked with Tony to get into the nitty gritty of the business’s costs and were rewarded with a 19% reduction in our running costs. This led to a complete restructuring of our business finance by Shirley and the introduction of much better financial management system that was easy for us to operate.Caffeine do the simple things very well; they always took our calls, they always found time for us, they stayed in regular communication with us, they listened to our business issues and always found a solution, often one that was not obvious to us. This meant that we trusted them more and more as time went on and when for family reasons we decided to sell our business they worked with us and negotiated all aspects of our business exit to our absolute satisfaction.Tony is currently helping us find a new business opportunity that gives us a better work: life balance.We have recommended Caffeine to other business owners and their feedback is always the same; Caffeine are one of a kind!”
“The Caffeine Team are breathtaking!

Arvo and Caffeine work well together, as we help SME’s reduce their costs while Caffeine help them grow their businesses.We look forward to this ongoing partnership and the value it brings to our mutual clients”
We run an 18 bedroomed guesthouse in the heart of Kinsale and have just completed our first year with Caffeine. We are very happy to say that Tony, Shirley, Robert and their team have been an immense help to us and our business. They brought a total commitment and focus to our business and the challenges it faced and moreover we always found them to be responsive to the different things a business throws up.
They improved our marketing, sales and administrative systems and transformed our people management strategy all of which significantly improved our financial performance.They possess an ideal blend of being trustworthy, highly competent and professional people who have demonstrated a real personal interest in helping our business in ways we could not have imagined.We look forward to Caffeine continuing to guide us to a more secure and prosperous future and would heartily recommend them to other business owners.
“I am the owner of The Windsor Hotel, Cork and almost 5 years ago a close family relative referred me to Caffeine. At the time the industry and my business was confronting diverse challenges on many fronts.
Caffeine initiated a root and branch analysis of my business as part of my business exit strategy and in the process created real value for me.Tony worked very closely with me and helped me negotiate all aspects of my business exit. This was a complex undertaking and throughout Tony, Shirley, Robert and their team were a source of guidance and support as well as equipping me with deep insights, analysis and solutions to the many obstacles we encountered along the way.The Caffeine team bring pragmatism and human goodness along with the sensitivity that you would desire from your best friend and the professionalism that you would desire from your strongest advocate.This approach has brought me results that are truly extraordinary”
