How we can help
We typically work with the management or owners of a distressed business who are responsible for underperforming divisions and business units and are seeking radical changes to improve performance. Our team can assist with strategic restructuring and exit options, along with services such as asset rationalisation, contingency planning and debt advisory.
We can also help companies manage a crisis. We have deep expertise in building solutions for crisis scenarios, including interim management and stakeholder management.

M&A
We worked with a leading home care services provider to offer pre-sale EBIDTA improvement diagnostic and execution support that helped deliver $5m of earnings uplift.
Transformation
Our team worked with a listed retailer to provide a strategic review and costed operating model options for a business unit worth more than $300m.
We also worked with a financial services company to perform a strategic review and develop a bankable profit improvement program of prioritised initiatives with a range of associated benefits. As a result, we helped to drive profit uplift by more than 78 per cent EBIT uplift to $15.2m.
Turnaround
Our team worked with a leading food and beverage manufacturer to identify $35m in opportunities across revenue growth, pricing strategy, operations, organisation design and corporate overheads reduction.
We also supported a large franchisor to develop and implement a turnaround plan focusing on commercial, operations and working capital for individual brands.
