Operational diagnostics
We spend two weeks inside your business, mapping every process from order intake to cash collection. The output is a ranked list of fixes with projected savings per quarter, not a 90-page report nobody reads.

What we actually do
Most consulting firms hand you a slide deck and an invoice. We stay until the new process is running without us.
Growth strategy
Where should you invest next: new geography, new product line, or acquiring a competitor? We build financial models for each scenario, stress-test them against your cash position, and present a clear recommendation within four weeks.
Exit and succession planning
Thinking about selling in two to five years? We help you identify what a buyer will scrutinise, fix the gaps that suppress valuation multiples, and connect you with vetted M&A advisors when you are ready.
Cash flow restructuring
Revenue is healthy but the bank balance says otherwise? We renegotiate supplier terms, redesign invoicing cycles, and build a rolling 13-week cash forecast your finance team updates in under an hour each Monday.
Leadership team development
Your senior managers were promoted because they were great at their old jobs. We run a six-session programme that teaches them how to delegate, run productive meetings, and hold their teams accountable without micromanaging.
How an engagement works
No proposals that take three months to sign. We move fast because your problems are not getting smaller.
1
Diagnostic call
30 minutes on the phone. You describe the pain; we tell you honestly whether we can help.
2
On-site immersion
One or two consultants spend five to ten days inside your operation, interviewing staff and reviewing data.
3
Action plan
A short document: what to fix, in what order, what it costs, what it saves. No fluff.
4
Implementation
We stay for four to eight weeks to build the new systems alongside your people, then hand over.
A manufacturer in Swansea cut waste by £420k in one year
This family-owned packaging company had grown from £3m to £11m in revenue over a decade, but margins had actually fallen. The owner suspected the problem was in production scheduling. It turned out the real issue was a procurement process that had not changed since the company had three employees.
We restructured supplier contracts, introduced a weekly purchasing review, and trained the ops manager to run it independently.
- £420k annual reduction in raw material waste
- 17 days faster average debtor collection
- 8 weeks from kickoff to full handover
- Zero ongoing consulting fees after handover
Questions we hear often
Most projects fall between £15k and £60k depending on scope and duration. We quote a fixed fee after the diagnostic call so there are no surprises. If we think your problem is small enough that you do not need a consultant, we will say so on that first call and save you the money.
Yes. About a third of our clients are elsewhere in the UK. The on-site immersion phase means travel is involved, and we include those costs in the fixed fee rather than billing expenses separately.
We work best with businesses between £2m and £40m in annual revenue. Below that threshold, the cost of a consulting engagement rarely pays for itself. Above it, the problems tend to require larger teams than we field.
No. We sit alongside your professional advisors and focus on operational and strategic issues they typically do not cover. We often collaborate with your accountant on cash flow work and your solicitor on contract reviews.
Every engagement includes a 90-day follow-up period. During those three months you can call or email us with questions at no extra charge. If something we built breaks, we fix it. After that, you can retain us on a lightweight monthly check-in if you want, but most clients do not need to.
