Emerging Mid-market Specialist Consultancy

Management Consultancy is a ‘dirty word’ to many people, linked to suits, high fees and long reports. Avondale are, however, not your typical consultants. Professional, personable and direct, we bring innovation, ideas, resource and results to help you achieve your ambitions.

There are many SME business advisors, but few with the real first-hand expertise of the emerging mid-market; businesses with over £2 million turnover and 20-300 employees. These companies need the support of specialists with deep knowledge of the challenges they face. Whilst our consultancy capability is broad, the main focus includes:

  • Business reviews and plans – Helping you close the gap on your ambitions
  • Scale-up – Ideas, investment and objective advice that delivers you growth
  • Value building – Helping you create more valuable and sustainable ventures
  • M&A – Valuations, negotiations, exit strategy and acquisitions
Nigel Roberts, Benbow Group

“We chose Avondale because they demonstrated superior knowledge and experience of this relatively new business structure, and because they offered a complete service including the naturally detailed legal process. We remained very satisfied with our choice and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.”  – Nigel Roberts, Benbow Group

Claire Biggar, Jacksons Clear Glass

“EOTs are a great and exciting ownership structure which really suited us as a family business, however, the sale process can be complex. Avondale made it simple and have really helped us deliver at every step.” – Claire Biggar, Jacksons Clear Glass

Gareth Davies, Ice Roofing & Cladding

“The Avondale team led the whole process from legal, financial and strategy. They structured the finance to ensure we secured an exit at full commercial value with 0% tax on the sale.” – Gareth Davies, Ice Roofing & Cladding

Avondale’s events add value at every step. The ‘know-how’ is awesome and they nail the questions sections so it’s also personal.
