We help small and mid-sized companies across Wales and the UK fix what is broken, plan what comes next, and grow without guessing. Practical strategy, grounded in real numbers.
Vertex Consultancy started in 2014 with a simple idea: most business advice is too abstract to use. Founders with backgrounds in operational finance and supply-chain management set out to change that. We work on-site, inside your processes, with your team.
Our client base ranges from family-run manufacturers in South Wales to SaaS startups in Cardiff and Bristol. Each engagement begins with a two-week diagnostic. We map cash flow, review staffing ratios, benchmark margins against your specific sub-sector, and deliver a prioritised action list, not a 90-page report that sits in a drawer.
Roughly 70% of our recommendations are implemented within the first quarter. That pace matters because momentum builds confidence, and confidence attracts the right hires and the right investors.
Every company hits different walls at different sizes. We match the service to the problem, not the other way around.
We build 12-month and 36-month plans tied to quarterly milestones. Each plan includes revenue targets, hiring triggers, and capital requirements so your board or lender sees exactly where the money goes.
Cash-flow crises rarely come from one mistake. We trace the root causes, renegotiate supplier terms where possible, and redesign your invoicing cycle. Clients typically recover 15 to 25 days of working capital within the first eight weeks.
Scaling from £1M to £5M turnover is a different challenge than reaching the first million. We focus on the operational bottlenecks that stall growth: hiring sequences, technology spend, and channel diversification.
Wrong structure, wrong results. We audit reporting lines, role definitions, and team sizes against your revenue per employee. Then we propose a structure that fits where you are heading, not where you have been.
We spend time on the shop floor and inside your CRM before writing a single recommendation. Typical engagements reduce order-to-delivery time by 18% and cut administrative duplication by a third.
Thinking about exporting or entering a new UK region? We run competitor mapping, pricing analysis, and regulatory checks specific to your sector. You get a go/no-go decision backed by data, usually within four weeks.
Plenty of firms sell strategy decks. We sell outcomes. Here is how we keep that promise.
We never quote a price before understanding your business. The diagnostic is free, and it gives both sides a clear picture of what needs doing and what it will cost.
Every project has a fixed price agreed up front. If we need extra hours to finish, that is our problem. You never get a surprise invoice.
Our consultants spend at least two days a week at your location during active engagements. We talk to your warehouse staff, your sales reps, and your finance team directly.
After the project closes, we check in at 30, 60, and 90 days. If something is slipping, we course-correct at no extra charge. Accountability does not end when the invoice is paid.
Real results from real engagements. Names used with permission.
"They spotted a £140k annual saving in our procurement process during the first week. Within three months we had renegotiated four supplier contracts and freed up cash we badly needed for a new production line."
"We were stuck at £2M turnover for three years. Vertex restructured our sales team, introduced a proper pipeline system, and we hit £3.4M within 18 months. The fixed-fee model meant no nasty surprises."
"Honest, direct, and they challenged our assumptions from day one. The organisational redesign they proposed felt risky at first, but attrition dropped by half and our middle managers finally had clear ownership of their KPIs."
