Two ways to work together

Most common

The advisory bundle · £2,499

The full Enterprise toolkit plus two 90-minute working sessions, scheduled by email around your deal timeline. Most teams use the first session on the plan and Day 1 readiness, and the second on governance and synergy tracking once the integration is live. Sessions are arranged within one working day of purchase and can be booked up to twelve months ahead.

Bespoke support

Plan reviews, interim integration leadership, IMO support for a defined period, or help with a specific problem such as a slipping TSA exit. Email a short note on the deal size, the timeline and where it hurts, and you will get a straight answer on whether and how I can help.

Who this is for

Deals roughly in the £5m to £500m range: corporate development teams, private equity portfolio teams, and first-time acquirers who do not have a standing integration function. It also suits experienced integration leads who want a second pair of eyes on a plan before it goes to the board.

This is senior, practical input at specific moments, not a resourcing model.

It is honest to say what this is not. If you are integrating a multi-billion acquisition and need a staffed programme team on the ground for a year, a consultancy bench is the right call.
