Who we work with

Sound familiar?

If any of this describes where you are, we should talk.

Finance directors and CFOs

Cash tied up in stock, suppliers on the wrong terms, and nobody with the time to fix either.

Owner-managers

No dedicated procurement team, so buying gets done in the gaps between everything else.

Private equity portfolios

Cash release and savings you can see in the numbers, across one company or several.

Sectors

Where we work.

We work mainly with mid-sized businesses and the investors behind them.

01

Manufacturing

Raw materials, components and finished goods, and the cash sitting in all three.

02

Distribution and wholesale

Long tails of slow-moving stock, and supplier terms nobody has reviewed in years.

03

Retail and consumer brands

Seasonal and end-of-line stock, and buying spread across too many people.

04

Energy and industrial

Multi-country supplier bases where commercial terms drift over time.

05

Private equity portfolios

Cash release and savings across one company or the whole portfolio.
