Four problems we’re hired for, and what each one costs.
Every engagement starts with the same three‑week diagnostic. What follows depends on what we find, and you decide whether we stay.
Pricing
Prices set from evidence, so every product earns its place on the list.
When clients call
Margins slip when prices rise by the same percentage across a range, or when the products that sell most are the ones priced lowest.
Typical result
4 to 8 margin points in a year
Duration
Diagnostic 3 weeks, programme about 10 weeks
From
£14,500
Operations
Orders that leave on time, and a plan the whole floor can read.
When clients call
Lead times grow when every order waits for its materials, when machines sit far from the next step, or when the plan lives in one person’s head.
Typical result
Lead times cut by half
Duration
12 to 16 weeks
From
£48,000
Growth
Open the second shop with numbers from the first.
When clients call
New shops and new markets lose money when the first one is copied without knowing which part of it made the money.
Typical result
Payback inside a year
Duration
10 to 14 weeks
From
£48,000
Succession
A handover that holds, for the family and for the business.
When clients call
Founders stay in charge long after they mean to, because the decisions they make every week were never written down.
Typical result
Handover in 12 to 24 months
Duration
6 to 18 months, mostly on retainer
From
£6,000 a month
