Investors need a clear view of what an asset really costs to run, what can genuinely be improved, and how long improvement actually takes.
PEF Consulting Partners supports private equity and infrastructure investors with operating partners who have run and sold businesses themselves. Our leadership has built and exited companies, led merger and acquisition activity at Smart Choice Metering, and delivered the operational separation of National Grid and NESO.
We work with investors and portfolio companies on the operational side of the investment case, including work with Ancala. Our value is honesty about what is achievable and the seniority to deliver it, not a deck that simply confirms the thesis.
An independent assessment of operational capability, systems estate, delivery track record and the cost and risk sitting behind the numbers. Written to inform a decision rather than to confirm one.
Turning the investment thesis into a sequenced operational plan with owners, timelines, investment requirement and measurable milestones.
Integration and carve out delivery across systems, processes, people and reporting, with the first hundred days planned properly rather than improvised. See carve outs and separation.
Hands on delivery inside portfolio companies where the management team needs capability it does not yet have, and needs it now.
Testing the systems, data, people and delivery risk behind a deal before you sign.
Turning the investment thesis into a plan with owners, dates and value you can track.
Systems, processes, people and reporting brought together in a first hundred days that is planned, not improvised.
Value creation is delivery, not slideware. Our leadership has run the operational programmes that make or break an investment case:
It helps investors and their portfolio companies turn an investment thesis into operational results: operational due diligence before the deal, a value creation plan after it, and the post acquisition integration, systems and finance work that delivers the plan.
Usually at three points: in due diligence, when the operating risks in a target need testing; in the first hundred days, when the value creation plan has to become a delivery plan; and when a buy and build platform starts to struggle with integration.
Yes. The same disciplines apply to infrastructure assets, where regulated revenue, long asset lives and operational resilience shape the plan.
From operational due diligence to hands on value creation and integration, we bring senior delivery people who tell you what is really achievable. Honest, fast, and accountable for the result.
