Business consulting · Scotland

Business consulting that fixes the root cause, not the symptoms

We sit inside your operation for weeks, not hours. We find the friction between departments, the margin leaks in procurement, the planning gaps that keep you reactive. Then we rebuild the system so it runs without us.

Six consulting services built for mid-market companies

Each engagement starts with a two-week diagnostic. We charge a fixed fee for the diagnostic phase, so you know the cost before we begin any advisory work.

Operational restructuring

We map every handoff between teams, measure cycle times and rework rates, then redesign the workflow. Typical result: 15 to 25 percent reduction in operating cost within nine months.

Financial performance review

We examine gross margin by product line, overhead allocation accuracy, and cash conversion cycle. Clients typically discover two or three pricing errors that have been compounding for years.

Leadership alignment

Senior teams often agree in meetings and diverge in practice. We run structured sessions that surface the real disagreements, then build a shared scorecard the whole team tracks weekly.

Growth strategy

We identify the two or three expansion moves with the highest return on invested capital. That might mean a new geography, a product extension, or an acquisition target. We model each scenario in detail before you commit a penny.

Procurement optimisation

Supplier consolidation, contract renegotiation, demand forecasting. One manufacturing client saved £1.2 million in annual raw material spend after a twelve-week engagement.

Succession and exit planning

Owners who want to sell in three to five years need a business that runs without them. We build that capability, document it, and prepare the data room so the eventual sale process moves quickly.

The gap between the plan and what actually happens

Most businesses we meet already have a strategy document. The problem is execution. Decisions stall because accountability is unclear. Reporting is monthly when it should be weekly. Departments optimise their own metrics at the expense of the whole.

We close that gap by embedding with your team, not presenting from a stage.

  • Weekly progress reviews with named owners for every action item
  • Real-time dashboards replacing 40-page slide decks
  • Cross-functional working groups that dissolve once the project delivers
  • A 90-day handover period so improvements stick after we leave

Four stages from first conversation to measurable result

The timeline varies by scope, but most engagements follow this structure. A typical project runs eight to sixteen weeks.

Diagnostic

Two weeks on site. We interview staff at every level, review financial data, and observe operations. You receive a written report with prioritised findings.

Design

We draft the target operating model, define KPIs, and estimate the financial impact of each change. The leadership team reviews and adjusts before we proceed.

Implementation

Our consultants work alongside your people to execute. We run weekly stand-ups, track blockers, and escalate decisions that need senior input within 24 hours.

Handover

We transfer ownership of every tool, dashboard, and process document. Monthly check-ins continue for 90 days. If a metric slips, we come back at no extra cost.

Outcomes our clients have measured

These figures come from post-engagement audits conducted six months after project close. We track results because our reputation depends on them, not on the quality of our slide decks.

What clients ask before they engage us

How much does a typical engagement cost?
The diagnostic phase has a fixed fee of £4,500. After that, we quote a project fee based on scope. Most engagements fall between £18,000 and £75,000 depending on company size and complexity. We do not bill by the hour.
Do you work with companies outside Scotland?
Yes. About a third of our clients are based elsewhere in the UK. We travel to your site for the diagnostic and implementation phases. Remote check-ins work well for the design and handover stages.
What industries do you specialise in?
Manufacturing, professional services, distribution, and food and drink make up the majority of our portfolio. The methods transfer well across sectors because the operational problems are structurally similar: unclear accountability, poor data visibility, and misaligned incentives.
How do you measure success?
We agree on three to five KPIs at the start of every project. These are financial or operational metrics your team already tracks. We baseline them during the diagnostic and measure them again at project close and at the six-month mark.
Will you replace our existing management team?
No. We work with the people you have. In rare cases we recommend a new hire for a specific role, but the goal is to build capability inside your organisation, not to create dependency on external advisors.
