Building value and focus to accelerate FourCentric’s exit journey

The Challenge

FourCentric, a consultancy specialising in operational improvement, was preparing for a potential business exit. While the leadership team had significant consulting expertise, they recognised that being too close to their own business made it difficult to step back and assess their strategy objectively.

They needed external support to identify the areas that would have the biggest impact on performance, develop a clear and prioritised plan, and ensure the business was well-positioned for both long-term growth and an eventual sale.

The Solution

Garwood Growth provided a structured process underpinned by benchmarks, research, and deep sector expertise. The team worked with FourCentric to assess the business, surface opportunities for improvement, and create a clear strategic plan that prioritised initiatives with the greatest potential impact.

This approach combined proven methodology with hands-on experience of building and selling professional services businesses. The result was a practical roadmap that not only supported exit planning but also gave the leadership team clarity on how to strengthen overall business performance.

The Result

FourCentric emerged from the process with a clear sense of direction and a prioritised plan to guide decision-making. The plan was grounded in evidence and benchmarks, giving the leadership team and wider organisation confidence in its achievability.

By providing both structure and real-world experience, Garwood Growth helped FourCentric align its team around a common strategy, focus on the initiatives that matter most, and prepare with confidence for a successful exit.
