Performance partners to industrial businesses
We work alongside leaders to improve profit, cash and enterprise value.
Graham Montrose provides management consulting and commercial advice to industrial business leaders, from finding the opportunity to delivering the change, with systems, automation and AI used where they add value.
Leaders bring us in when
-
Performance could be stronger
Margins, cash conversion, productivity or asset utilisation are not where they could be, whether the business is growing, steady or under pressure. We find the causes, prioritise the opportunities by value, and support the changes with your team.
-
A major decision needs commercial clarity
A bid, contract, investment, acquisition or sale requires a clear view of the economics, risks and options before you commit. We test the numbers and assumptions with you, and help keep control once the decision is made.
-
An important change needs to be delivered
A process, system, automation or AI improvement needs a sound business case, clear requirements, the right delivery team and coordinated execution. We build the case, help you select providers where needed, and manage delivery and adoption alongside your team.
The expertise behind the work
Our work spans Enterprise Performance, Commercial Finance and Corporate Development. We combine these capabilities around your priorities, supporting analysis, decisions and delivery alongside your team.
- Enterprise PerformanceHow the business runs: margins, productivity, assets, processes, systems and the handoffs between teams.
- Commercial FinanceThe numbers behind commitments and the finance function that supports them: pricing, bids, investment cases, cash, forecasts, reporting and finance teams.
- Corporate DevelopmentWhere growth comes from: strategy, acquisitions, integration, succession and readiness for sale or investment.
How we work
