We implement changes that show up in your bank account within 30-90 days
UNLOCKING STRATEGIC CAPITAL
The Problem: Your customers pay in 60-90 days. Your drivers, fuel, and insurance bills come weekly.
The Cost: A typical £10M logistics operator has £800K trapped in customer financing, costing £96K annually in interest and opportunity cost.
The Solution: We reduce your Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) by 15-25 days, releasing £200K-400K cash back to your business.
Case Study: £12M haulage firm reduced DSO from 68 to 42 days in 6 weeks, freeing £320K cash flow.

STRATEGIC MARGIN PRESERVATION
YOU'RE LEAVING £100K+ ON THE TABLE ANNUALLY
Close these gaps and you don’t just stop the bleed, you instantly add six figures to the bottom line without chasing new business.
The Hidden Profit Killers:
  • Inconsistent pricing (costing 2-3% margin)
  • Poor contract terms (losing £50K+ annually)
  • Missed revenue opportunities (£25K+ monthly)
  • Inadequate cost recovery (3-5% margin erosion)
Real Impact: For every £1M revenue, these issues cost £50K+ in lost profit.

Untapped Profit Potential

Implementing a meticulously defined pricing strategy can directly augment your bottom line by 2-5%, without necessitating new customer acquisition.
MAXIMISING ASSET VELOCITY
YOUR TRUCKS ARE DRIVING EMPTY 30% OF THE TIME
Every empty mile erodes profit and enterprise value, but with the right systems, your fleet becomes a capital compounding engine.
Strategic Capacity Underutilisation
A significant portion (25-35%) of fleet mileage is non-revenue generating, representing suboptimal asset deployment and unproductive operational expenditure.
Quantifiable Economic Leakage
For a representative 20-vehicle fleet, this translates to an estimated £180K in annualised unrealised revenue, signifying a substantial drain on capital efficiency and overall enterprise valuation.
Optimised Capital Reinvestment
Implementation of advanced backhaul optimisation strategies can mitigate non-revenue mileage by up to 40%, contributing an incremental £70K+ annually directly to the operating profit.
ELEVATING SALES VELOCITY
WIN MORE BUSINESS AT BETTER MARGINS
Without precise pipeline visibility, every engagement becomes an unquantified risk. This leads to suboptimal resource allocation, forcing concessions on value and eroding critical margin potential. The imperative is clear: move beyond reactive pursuit to proactive, data-driven strategic capture.

STRATEGIC INDEPENDENCE
STOP BEING THE BOTTLENECK IN YOUR OWN BUSINESS
The Owner Trap:
  • You cannot disengage for two weeks without operational crisis calls.
  • Every significant decision demands your personal approval and intervention.
  • The intrinsic value of the business is inextricably tied to your individual involvement.
  • Growth trajectories are inherently limited by your available hours and capacity.
Quantifiable Business Impact:
  • Significantly reduces potential sale value by 20-40% due to key person dependency.
  • Growth is capped by the founder's personal capacity, stifling scalability.
  • Creates critical single points of failure, increasing operational risk.
  • Consumes valuable executive time, hindering strategic thought and long-term planning.
Over-reliance on the founder creates systemic vulnerabilities, impedes scalability and severely undervalues the enterprise. This dynamic shifts focus from strategic growth to operational firefighting, costing time and capital.
THE LATENT COST OF LOYALTY
YOUR SUPPLIERS ARE OVERCHARGING YOU £200K+ ANNUALLY
Strategic Cost Drift
Entrenched vendor relationships frequently conceal incremental cost escalations. New market entrants often secure more favourable terms, inadvertently penalising long-standing partnerships.
Erosion of Capital Value
A mere 2-3% overpayment on a procurement portfolio of £10M translates to an annual unrealised capital of £200,000 - £300,000. Each instance of procurement inefficiency directly impairs enterprise profitability.
Is your procurement strategy aligned with current market efficiencies?
Proactive and rigorous procurement review is imperative to sustain competitive advantage and maximise value capture.
Revenue Optimisation
Enhanced Profitability
The disciplined implementation of a quarterly procurement assessment protocol yields potential savings equivalent to 1-2% of total revenue, directly elevating the enterprise's bottom line.
UNVEILING LATENT VALUE
For high-growth logistics enterprises exceeding £10M in annual turnover, suboptimal operational paradigms frequently manifest as substantial financial impact. Our analysis identifies critical areas of value erosion and immediate capture potential.

OUR SUCCESS STORIES
REAL OPERATORS, REAL RESULTS
These aren't theoretical improvements—they're actual results from people who've seen our systems work firsthand, across diverse sectors:
Leading UK Manufacturing ($47M)
PA to the Chairman
"Working with David has been a turning point. His advisory input was precise, practical and directly relevant. He translated technical expertise into clear actions that improved how we run projects and manage customers. We have complete confidence in recommending his work, he has added real value where it matters most."
Trade Services Company (£1M)
Founder
"I was ready to give up. Maxed out, stressed out, working seven days a week for nothing. David spent half an hour with me and suddenly I could see the problem clearly. Six months later, I take weekends off, I sleep at night and there's actually money in the bank. If he can fix my little trades business, he can fix any transport company."
Why do people outside logistics recommend us? Because business stress is universal. We identify and resolve the root causes, turning operational bottlenecks into strategic advantages, making it go away.
