Rapid Cost Reduction

Control spend. Improve working capital. Enhance cash.

Through a combination of transformation expertise, industry and functional knowledge, our team provides ‘hands on’ support to organisations to deliver sustainable and rapid cost reduction. We design and implement commercially viable plans with management, which generates the headroom required to avoid crisis and invest in future growth areas.

We are able to tailor our approach to individual circumstances and needs. We are currently helping clients:

  • Review their future strategy and free up cost to invest in new growth areas
  • Offset margin erosion caused by inflation, rapid increases in salary, logistics and energy costs
  • Recover losses caused by COVID19 crisis and sanctions
  • Implement technology solutions to automate / reduce non value activity
  • Help communicate to key stakeholders and staff to reduce uncertainty and ensure buy in and long term sustainability

We are able to develop and implement realistic and pragmatic plans, giving management the confidence to make tough decisions and drive through change in a short timeframe.
