Retail & FMCG Strategy That Drives Sustainable Growth

Retail and FMCG businesses face unprecedented challenges – from changing consumer behaviour to supply chain disruptions, digital transformation pressures to margin erosion, and the constant battle to stay relevant in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
 
We don’t offer quick fixes or generic advice. We diagnose what’s really holding your retail business back, then we fix it.
 
Serving: Independent retailers, FMCG brands, food & drink companies, consumer goods manufacturers, and retail chains across Scotland and the UK

The Real Issues Retail & FMCG Businesses Face

Beyond the obvious symptoms – declining footfall, inventory issues, customer complaints – lie deeper strategic problems:
 
Customer experience inconsistencies – disconnected touchpoints that frustrate rather than delight
Inventory management inefficiencies – stock-outs and overstock situations impacting cash flow
Digital transformation gaps – outdated systems that can’t compete with modern retail expectations
Brand positioning confusion – unclear value proposition in crowded marketplaces
Supply chain vulnerabilities – dependencies that create cost pressures and delivery issues
Financial visibility problems – unclear profitability by product line, channel, or customer segment
 
The problem? Most retail consultants focus on individual issues rather than understanding how your entire customer journey and business model connect.
