We turn operations into your source of competitive advantage
Across industrial and manufacturing businesses, operations have become the place where strategy is won or lost. Faster innovation cycles, volatility, geopolitical shifts, rising complexity, and higher customer expectations have turned product development, engineer-to-order, sourcing, supply chain, manufacturing, and service into strategic levers — not just cost centres to be managed, but the means to build resilience, accelerate growth, and create durable competitive advantage.
That is the work we do. We help senior leaders make the right operational choices, fix what is holding performance back, and lead the large-scale change that makes the difference last. Our senior consultants held C-level operating roles in industry before joining the firm, so we work from experience, not theory — alongside your people, at plant and operating level, where change is real.
We deliver a defined set of services, in the operational areas where performance is decided, and we build lasting value into the organisation so the gains hold long after we have gone.
Our services
Five services, from setting direction to leading change under pressure. Each draws on the same hands-on operating experience, and each is built to deliver measurable impact on margins, customer satisfaction, and revenue.
-
Operations Strategy
The few irrevocable choices that decide how a company sources, makes, delivers, and plans — make-versus-buy, global footprint, centralised or decentralised, the operating model. We align operations end-to-end with the strategic goals of the business.

Operations Transformation
Large-scale change in how the organisation works and the way people manage their daily tasks. Won by involving the people who must adopt it, proving it through piloting, and handing the lead to client teams — change that is owned inside, not imposed from outside.

Operations Performance Improvement
Fixing the classic problems that hold back profitable growth — late deliveries, excess inventory, high cost, slow response — while keeping the business running. Evidence, experience, and data applied at operating level to make processes work and build the teams that sustain them.

Post-Merger Integration
Transformation triggered by a transaction. Bringing two operations together — footprint, processes, ways of working — to capture the synergies the deal was built on, without losing service or momentum in the process.

Critical Project Recovery
Transformation under pressure. Stepping into a programme or operation that has stalled or is failing, stabilising it, and rebuilding the capability, portfolio, process, and culture in parallel so the recovery outlives our involvement.

The areas we work in
We bring these services to the operational domains where industrial performance is decided. Each maps to the leaders who own it, and each connects directly to the outcomes that matter — profitability, customer satisfaction, and growth. The figures below are the kind of impact this work can deliver.
-
Product Development / R&D
Creating the standard — platforms, modular architectures, and reusable designs. 20–30% faster time to market and 10–20% higher engineering productivity through reuse and portfolio discipline.
Learn more -
Engineer-to-Order
Adapting the standard to the specific customer project — configuration, sizing, and detailing per order. Faster quoting, higher reuse from the standard type, and protected project margin.
Learn more -
Supply chain
Resilience, end-to-end visibility, and faster recovery from disruption. 30–60% shorter lead times, 10–50% higher on-time delivery, and 20–60% less working capital.
Learn more -
Manufacturing
Footprint resilience, productivity, and flexibility of volume and mix. 10–40% productivity improvement and 20–40% shorter manufacturing and delivery lead times.
Learn more -
Sourcing
Continuity of supply and total cost of ownership over lowest unit price. 5–15% lower total cost of ownership and a more resilient, transparent supply base.
Learn more -
Service
Growing recurring, higher-margin revenue across the installed base. 5–15% faster service revenue growth, with stronger retention and a less cyclical revenue mix.
