TEENY TINY HOMES
“The production system runs like clockwork — whether I'm in the room or not.”
Net profit up from $1.1M to $1.87M in a year and on track for $3M+ — production cut to 11–13 days per home and sales lifted past 15 a month.
Clarity on where to play. Conviction on how to win. Discipline to deliver.
The advisory partner for owner-led businesses turning over $10m+ at an inflection point — deciding the way forward, preparing to exit, or reversing a stall. Proven methodology, delivered at owner level — the discipline to grow and sell, without corporatising what makes your business yours.
Proven where it counts — the owner's bottom line.
We're judged on outcomes, not slides: profit recovered, businesses made ready to sell, and owners freed from the day-to-day. A snapshot of the work, across sectors.
MEDICINES ARE US

THE STEEL FIXING GROUP

Diagnose. Ambition. Execution.
Every engagement follows the same arc — three phases that turn an honest starting point into results the business can feel. It isn't rigidly linear: we loop back to test the thinking as the picture sharpens, but the direction of travel is always the same.
Diagnose
Understand the business, honestly.
A rigorous read of the numbers, the market and the operating model. We establish the real baseline — underlying profit, where value is trapped, and what's shifting outside — so every choice that follows rests on fact, not assumption. For owners heading toward a sale, this is where we find and fix what a buyer would use against you.

Answers: Where are we now? · What's changing?
Ambition
Decide where you're going — and commit.
We set the winning aspiration and make the hard choices — where to play, how to win — pressure-tested and validated until the whole leadership team shares one direction with genuine conviction. Then we put a number on it: the profit and enterprise value the strategy is built to deliver.
What you get

Answers: Where will we play? · How will we win? · Is it worth it?
Execution
Make it real, and make it stick.
We stand alongside the team to execute the agreed actions — building the operating model, redesigning roles and processes, building the capability to deliver and coaching the leaders, and installing the governance cadence. It's sequenced into manageable horizons with quick wins, so value arrives early and the change embeds instead of fading when we leave.

Most mid-market businesses don't fail on effort. They stall on direction and execution.
A business reaches a size where instinct alone stops scaling. Leadership holds competing views on what's next, capital and attention scatter, and the numbers plateau. We're engaged across the moments that decide a business's next chapter — each with real value at stake.
Trigger / 01
Understand the forward view
Growth has outpaced the model. The owner needs an honest baseline, a credible read of where the market is heading, and a single strategy the whole team can commit to.
Trigger / 02
Flat or declining revenue
Momentum has gone and the operating model has drifted from the strategy. Recover profit first, then re-find the path to growth.
Trigger / 03
Profit & margin recovery
Revenue is holding, but the bottom line is sliding below where a good business should sit. Rebuild margin and get profit back above the line.
Trigger / 04
Post-acquisition integration
A deal is done, but the value isn't landing. Integrate the businesses, capture the synergies, and build a repeatable playbook for the next one.
Trigger / 05
Leadership & capability build
The strategy is sound, but the bench can't yet carry it and the owner is the bottleneck. Build the leaders, roles and capability to deliver without them.
Trigger / 06
Succession & owner transition
The owner wants to step back — to chair, to next-gen, or out of the day-to-day. De-risk the business's dependence on them and make the handover work.
Trigger / 07
Value creation / grow the multiple
No sale on the table yet, but the goal is a more valuable business. Systematically build the earnings quality and de-risking that lift the multiple.
Trigger / 08
Exit or sell
A transaction is coming, now or within a horizon. De-risk the business, normalise the earnings, and build value so it commands a stronger multiple and survives diligence.
Every engagement starts with one honest conversation.
We frame each mandate the same disciplined way — so you know exactly what you're buying and what it will deliver before we begin.
S
Situation — the honest starting point and what's really at stake.
O
Objective — the single outcome the whole team commits to.
A
Approach — how we'll get there, co-created not presented.
P
Proposal — scope, horizons, owners, measures and cadence.
