First project and lifestyle management company launches in North East

TIME is a most precious commodity. Once spent, you can never get it back. You can’t hold on to it, and you can’t turn back the clock. However, if you invest your time wisely it will continue to reap benefits for years to come.

More and more busy people simply don’t have enough time to devote to themselves. They trade their time – and time with their family - for a job, a career or a cause.

Until now time management was a trade-off between what we wanted and what was needed. Every minute wasted by things that are not important to us is time we never get back – there is no rewind button.

But a new business launched by a North-East entrepreneur offers a unique solution to this problem by combining two crucial disciplines, lifestyle and project management, in a unique way.

Mackenzie Executive Management offers a bespoke service to clients who need someone capable of taking the hassle out of their lives.

Whatever the problem, from buying a racehorse, to renting a Ferrari, arranging a once-in-a-lifetime holiday, building up an investment portfolio or even creating a dream home, Mackenzie Executive Management is up to the challenge.

Matt Wing, the  County Durham businessman behind the company, has a wealth of experience in both lifestyle and project management: "I had a really good job as a director of a multinational project management company when I was in the South-East, heading up a £100 million business unit  - but I just wanted to do something for myself.

"I figured it was possible to offer a service that covered not just a company's needs but family and leisure activities as well. Although lifestyle management companies do exist, and project management is well established, as far as I know there isn't one firm which combines business, lifestyle and family disciplines together - until now."
