Over the last
five years we have developed a strong track record in restructuring and
privatisation working both on sectoral and individual enterprise programmes. We
have worked in these fields in the UK, many ex-command economies of central
Europe, in industrialising countries with large state sectors such as China,
Turkey and India and in underdeveloped countries in Asia and Africa.
To counter the unemployment which results from
structural adjustment and to strengthen the structure of economies in
transition, we have advised governments on strategy and policies for SME
development, implemented SME development programmes, evaluated SME programmes
and helped improve the effectiveness of development and support units. In this
field, we have worked in the UK, continental Europe, central Europe, Middle
East, Asia and Africa. 
We have assisted a number of government programmes in India,
Africa, central Europe and the Far East by developing policy, institutions and
initiatives to improve export performance. These programmes have helped turn
centrally planned and import substitution orientated companies into dynamic
export led businesses. 
We have
developed analytical techniques for addressing financially weak businesses
which provide a clear understanding of the problems and the prospects of
recovery. This approach has been used extensively to help managers or
stakeholders in financially weak businesses to analyse the underlying causes of
poor performance and develop strategies and implementation programmes to
re-establish viability. 
We have extensive experience helping companies with
diversification strategies, with reviewing the attractiveness of specific
market sectors and with profiling acquisition targets and joint-venture
partners. In the process of acquisitions and joint-ventures we have expertise
in target valuation, measuring strategic leverage, negotiating tactics and post
acquisition integration. In the field of M & A we have worked for
corporations and merchant banks in the UK, Europe and North
America.
We have developed market strategies and
carried out product launches for companies in the UK, other developed
countries, ex-command and developing countries, looking to penetrate and build
strong positions in international markets in Western Europe, North America, the
Far East & Middle East.
