Our Work

Projects that deliver real impact.

We do not write reports that sit on shelves. We embed, we deliver, and we leave businesses stronger than we found them. Here is a selection of the work we have done for clients across HR transformation, financial strategy, leadership development and organisational change.

CASE STUDIES

Selected projects across our practice areas

HR transformation and restructuring project
HR Transformation

Restructuring and Change Management

A PE-backed manufacturing business with 180 employees needed a full organisational restructure following a leveraged buyout. We designed the new operating model, managed the consultation process, rebuilt the leadership team, and delivered the transition within 90 days, reducing overhead by 15% while preserving critical capability.

Financial strategy and governance project
Fractional CFO

Financial Strategy and Governance

A scaling technology business with £12M revenue needed financial leadership for a Series A raise but could not justify a full-time CFO. Our fractional CFO built the financial model, prepared the data room, managed investor due diligence, and secured £8M in funding. We then embedded for 12 months to build the finance function and hand over to a permanent hire.

Leadership programme design project
Talent Management

Leadership Programme Design

A professional services firm of 250 staff needed to build leadership capability across three tiers: first-line managers, mid-level leaders and senior partners. We designed and delivered a 12-month accredited programme (ILM Level 5) with cohort-based workshops, action learning projects, 360-degree feedback and one-to-one coaching. 94% completion rate with measurable behaviour change.

Employment law compliance overhaul
Compliance

Employment Law Compliance Overhaul

A fast-growing retail business with 90 employees discovered during a funding round that their employment contracts, policies and Right to Work processes had significant gaps. We conducted a two-week compliance health check, rebuilt all 90 contracts, created a new employee handbook, corrected the Right to Work process, and trained managers on the new framework. The funding round completed successfully.

Culture and change programme
Culture and Change

Post-Acquisition Cultural Integration

Following the acquisition of a competitor, a 200-person logistics business faced significant cultural friction between the two organisations. We ran culture diagnostics across both entities, designed a values framework and behavioural standards, delivered a six-month leadership programme for the combined management team, and built an integration roadmap that the internal team could sustain.

Retained HR partnership build

HR Function Build for Scaling SME

A 45-person engineering consultancy had no HR function at all. The owners were managing HR issues alongside their day jobs, and it was becoming a bottleneck. We embedded as their retained HR partner, implemented a HRIS (BambooHR), created all policies and contracts from scratch, built a performance management framework, and trained the management team on core HR practices. After 18 months, the business had grown to 70 staff with a scalable HR infrastructure.
