Case Study

EKKA specialise in manufacturing electrical control systems to cater to industrial, mining and automation applications. This includes containerised Motor Control Centres for process plants, distribution boards, programmable logic controller control panels, remote input/output panels and pumps.

Since partnering with the team at EKKA, we’ve been proud of our ongoing work in supporting their growth and transformation. Their commitment to quality, speed, flexibility and culture has been the cornerstone of their success.

EKKA’s results speak for themselves. Since engaging Checkside in FY19, they’ve boosted revenue by a massive 128% and nearly doubled their profitability. This kind of growth doesn’t happen by accident – it’s the result of deliberate, strategic choices and a clear focus on execution.

Our partnership has been key to the achievement of these results. Specifically, we’ve delivered our Strategy Development, Strategy Execution, and Leadership Turbocharge (leadership development and coaching) services to ensure that EKKA’s team is equipped to handle the challenges and opportunities ahead. Dave Marcon, General Manager at EKKA was also a graduate of our 2023 Leadership Accelerator cohort.

Dave highlights the impact of our collaboration: “A lot of the recipe for success is due to Checkside’s guidance and support. Scott and his team have provided that third-party accountability that has been crucial in driving our results and keeping us on track with our goals.”

CEO Darryn Doble shares a more personal perspective: “Checkside’s involvement has been a game-changer for me as a business owner. Their strategic insights and practical advice have not only helped us navigate challenges but also significantly reduced the dependency on me as the principal. This shift has allowed me to focus on what truly matters, both in business and in life.”

EKKA has recently expanded its workshop footprint, setting the stage for continued growth.
