Turnaround INQ Profile

Turnaround professionals need experience and confidence, but must also know their limitations.  Turnaround INQ is a group of experienced business people who specialise in difficult projects where a lateral approach is required. Our strength lies in our experience – all of our members have worked in the real world of building and fixing businesses including, at a CEO or chairman level, such brand names as Woolworths, Transunion ITC, RCS and Topics. Refer here for profiles of our key people.

We are not an average consultancy. Rather than a focus on methodology and theory, we have assembled a team that can develop pragmatic solutions and implement them rapidly, but underpinned by a good appreciation of the longer-term picture.

Our team are all able to develop clear short term priorities and goals and have exhibited visible authority in their previous leadership positions.  Effective turnaround strategies require a consultant/specialist that is able to set expectations and enforce standards whilst implementing decisive decisions quickly, typically during a crisis stabilisation phase.  Ongoing  communication with stakeholder’s and the will to build confidence with third parties through transparency and honesty has been the hallmark of these professionals’ careers.
Our cumulative experience spans a number of countries and industries and our team has a range of skills, in particular:

  • Board-level and operational strategy implementation
  • Critical process improvement  and driving operational efficiencies
  • Corporate growth and restructuring
  • Leadership development
  • Debt workouts and capital raising
  • Analysis and modelling
  • Financial and commercial management
  • Corporate finance
  • Contracting and project management

Turnaround INQ relishes challenging assignments and we are committed to delivering a qualified service with tangible results.  Sceptical in nature, we do not confine ourselves to one single style of interaction, save for the fact that we are passionate about winning.

  • Consumer finance
  • Retail
  • Aviation (chartering/manufacturing)
  • Construction
  • Hospitality
