Consulting GroupDiscuss a mandate

Client type

Private Capital & Portfolio Companies

Procurement is one of the fastest and most controllable value levers in an industrial business. We help investors size it before the deal, deliver it through the hold and evidence it at exit.

EBITDA impact

Savings sized, phased and validated in the P&L, not just identified.

Cash

Working-capital and supplier-term opportunities alongside price.

Speed

Early wins, often in indirect spend, while structural programmes build.

Implementation confidence

Plans built with the people and suppliers who have to deliver them.

Different capital, one discipline

Whoever owns the asset, the value sits in the same places.

Holding periods, return targets and governance differ. The cost, the suppliers and the evidence a finance team will accept do not.

Investor type

Private equity & portfolio companies

Procurement diligence, 100-day plans and value-creation programmes through the hold.

Investor type

Family offices & long-term owners

Professional procurement and supplier governance for businesses that have grown faster than their buying function.

Investor type

Sovereign, pension & infrastructure investors

Cost, supply-chain and capital-spend discipline for long-hold industrial and infrastructure assets.

Investor type

Special situations & credit

Supplier stabilisation, cash release and cost recovery when performance has slipped.

Why industrial depth matters in diligence

A spend cube tells you how much a company buys. It does not tell you whether it pays the right price for a forging, whether its key supplier can support the growth plan, or how long a savings plan will take to reach EBITDA. Our specialists can.
