Manufacturing
Kingsgate has a long track record in delivering financial and operational turnaround in manufacturing. UK manufacturing faces challenges including the lingering economic impact of Brexit and the pandemic, significant supply chain disruptions, rising energy and raw material costs, uncertain tariff regimes, critical skills shortages and pressure to meet sustainability targets whilst investing in automation and digital. These factors have created a volatile environment, contributing to increased production costs, reduced profitability, and a need for strategic change in the way manufacturers operate.
Whether your business is facing immediate financial stress or near to medium term challenges, we can help you find the right path to success. Key issues are:
Understanding the current customer and competitive landscape, including product fit, market trends
Ensuring your cost base is appropriate to deliver competitively to your market - if not fix it!
Refining products if necessary and implementing more efficient manufacturing processes
Ensuring your workforce is aligned to your strategic goals
Validating your working capital cycle supports your plan, especially inventory management
Identifying and managing any technical, competitive and process risks
Reviewing your supply chain and logistics management to ensure they are optimised for value
Making your manufacturing process agile and future proof
Collaborative change.

Case Study: Modular Construction
Moving from start-up to scale-up, the business needed to rapidly deliver capability development in line with business growth. With investment coming into the business, a strong order book and growing manufacturing volumes, there was an urgent need to develop a new business model.
Our advisors also worked with the business to implement a new operations management methodology to ensure execution of strategic initiatives was planned, controlled and benefits were sustained. A successful recovery programme for on-site operations, including installation/commissioning capability, was delivered.
