Who we do it for

Who we work with

Mid-market businesses, typically £5m to £100m in revenue. Most of our clients sit in services, manufacturing, life sciences, and adjacent sectors. We’re based in the North West of England and work with clients across the UK.

The businesses we’re most useful to share a few characteristics. They have an IT estate that has grown organically over time, with the cost and complexity that brings. They have leadership that wants honest answers, not consulting theatre. They have enough scale to make a structured assessment worthwhile, but not so much that they need a Big Four engagement.

Who we don’t

We’re not the right fit for enterprise organisations. Big businesses need big teams, and they’re better served by McKinsey, Bain, or one of the consultancy firms with the depth to match.

And we’re not the right fit for businesses looking for someone to tell them what they want to hear. Honest pushback is part of how we work. If you’re looking for a yes-person, there are plenty of consultants who will play that role.

Sectors we know well

Across 25 years we’ve worked deeply across four sectors. Each brings a different angle on the same underlying patterns.

Services. PE-backed services businesses, professional services firms, and recurring-revenue operations. We understand the commercial pressure of operating leverage and the importance of clean CRM data.

Manufacturing and automotive. Multi-site operations, IT and OT integration, production-floor analytics, and the discipline of operational technology. We know what good looks like on the shop floor.

Life sciences and pharma. Regulated environments, GxP compliance, and the particular care required around data integrity. We’ve worked across UK and Ireland operations.

Aerospace. High-precision manufacturing, complex supply chains, and the engineering discipline that comes with safety-critical production.
