Consulting
Our Aim: to build better businesses. We create real value from pre- and post M&A programmes. Our clients benefit from our tested engagement tools, the case for change or turnaround resulting from M&A activity, and a real plan of delivering the financial benefits.
Unique Value
Our Directors have been in the M&A businesses as investors and advisors at the highest level for many years.
Combined with proven tools, we offer a no-nonsense, fast journey to realise value from your M&A deal.

Our Clients' Challenges
Our experience suggest that management teams face a number of challenges common to post M&A situations:
- How to integrate the executive management team without disruption to day-to-day operations
- How to manage uncertainty among staff, customers and suppliers
- How to make the hard decisions regarding organisational restructuring when the environment is still fluid and uncertain
- How to manage shareholders' expectations
Avoiding Value Destruction
We have witnessed many reasons why the key challenges are not tackled in a timely or effective manner, thus destroying shareholder value:
- Lack of Senior Management time
- Lack of urgency among the top leadership - leading to delayed decision making
- Tendency to short-cut critical processes, such as due diligence, strategic planning, integration planning
- Not having the right people involved in planning and due diligence
- Flawed communication
- Biases leading to ineffective strategy implementation
Moregate's approach - Providing the Tools to create Value
As we have been through it many times, we understand the political and emotional barriers that may stand in the way to achieving the value creation targets.
Our 100 Day Plan process is designed to work with the senior management team to:
- Resolve the motions, biases and how to manage them
- Identify early, practical actions that can be implemented within a three months time frame
- Mobilise large parts of the organisation
- Identify synergies and growth opportunities and create senior management commitment
- Create an operational implementation plan spanning 12 - 18 months
