The problem

Growth has stalled, margin is leaking into waste and working capital, and the management team is stretched or incomplete. A good investment thesis and a business that can't yet deliver it.

Owner-managed businesses hit the same wall: the business has outgrown the way it's run.

Track record

€113m to €200m+	Revenue growth at a food & dairy group: transformation lead from 2018, running the business from 2022. Full P&L, 90+ team.
55% to 85% OEE	Capacity doubled at a food producer in 18 months.
€15m cash	Cash released from inventory, which was down 65%.
€30m+ a year	Benefits from a Lean Six Sigma programme at a global tech manufacturer.

Also: +31% productivity across a multi-site FMCG programme, with the largest at-risk customer retained.

How an engagement works

Assess. A fast, hard look at the operation, the numbers and the team.
Stabilise. Fix what's costing money now. Put basic control and KPIs in place.
Build the team. Strengthen or recruit the management bench, and install the rhythm they'll run to.
Drive the step-change. People, process, systems and KPIs, delivered to an agreed plan.
Hand over. A team that owns the results, with no ongoing dependency on ProcessWorks.

Engagements typically run three to 18 months, scoped and priced up front.

Who ProcessWorks works with

Private equity and growth investors

Value-creation and deal partners who need a portfolio company to perform, and a management team to back through to exit.

Owner-managed businesses

Owners who want a step-change and a stronger team around them.
