We are Renaissance Advisory.
We're not just advisors. We're catalysts for change, renewing potential and maximising value for the clients we partner with.
With deep experience in both private equity and blue-chip consulting, we deliver real, but rapid impact for PE-backed, mid-market businesses all over the world.
And the name ‘Renaissance’ isn't a coincidence. It’s our guiding principle. The historical Renaissance was a period of "rebirth" and radical innovation that followed an era of stagnation. At Renaissance Advisory, we bring that same spirit of renewal to your business. We help you move beyond what's simply ‘good enough’ to unlock anew era of growth, profitability, and value.
Our mission is simple, but powerful; to maximise the value of your portfolio assets through a unique blend of strategy and hands-on execution. From the boardroom to the trenches, we’re here to tackle your biggest challenges, helping you overcome valuation gaps by:
· Optimising operations to drive profit margin growth of 12-20%.
· Reducing costs and removing complexity.
· Paving the way for a profitable exit and increasing value by 25-200%.
We align our success directly with yours, ensuring a strong return on every engagement. Founder-led. 100% discreet.
How we work
We combine our 25 years + of deep, direct private equity experience with a results-driven mindset to deliver tangible results to maximise value. Every engagement with you will start with a fact-based assessment to quantify the opportunity and set a clear direction of travel. We will collaborate closely with your team to establish a regular rhythm, align on stakeholders, and agree milestones to ensure that everyone is on the same page.
Our signature methods and proprietary frameworks provide the tools needed for a seamless delivery. We’ll track benefits, manage risks, and streamline decision-making. We focus on cost, operations, and finance because these are the levers that move EBITDA, cash, and performance outcomes.
Our job is to make change happen quickly and the Multiplier on Invested Capital (MOIC) uplift realisable. We set clear targets, keep the cadence simple and measure and present results so that your leadership team can see the impact of our work, quickly.
We are used to working alongside investors, management teams and incumbent advisors across geographical boundaries. Rest assured we will align priorities and keep the operation steady while improvements land. Multimillion pound results matter, and we can guarantee these results time and time again.
