How We Can Add Value
A French manufacture restructured its UK operations and closed its contracting division. We were engaged by the restructuring interim team to:
- Close out existing contracts
- Exit PFI contracts sub-let to a third party
- Resolve a number of disputed accounts
- Negotiate with clients
- Collect outstanding monies
We met all objectives and were able to successful recover £430K, which had been accounted for as being written off as part of the closure costs.
Quashing of contract penalties
To enable the management of a security services company to focus on a group rebrand and restructure, we took overall control of their construction market activities. During this time we successfully:
- Sourced external resources, leaving management and staff free to concentrate on business restructure
- Quashed contract penalties of £220k, which were recovered from a 22-week programme over run on a MOD contract
Writing and winning of tenders
The existing management team of a specialist fit out business were unable to devote sufficient time to an important tender.
We were brought in to support the management team by preparing costs, pre-qualifications and executive summaries. This allowed them to successfully bid and secure a £145 million banking sector contract over 5 years.
Getting projects back on track
A company was struggling with various skills gaps during the façade replacement of a 30 story office project. We worked with their subcontractor to successfully coordinate and enable access works, planning and reporting, ensuring that the project was back on track.
Having the right team to help
A UPVC window fabricator was looking for some specialist help and support with the preparation of:
- Pre-qualification submissions
