What others say.

“Adventus worked with Moto on strategic analysis and recommendations following the purchase of the business by a consortium led by Macquarie Group. The project required in depth analysis of current trends as well as analysis of sales and product data. The output from the project has been a strategic plan that developed with the management team that has been agreed with the new owners of the business. The plan covers all of the main revenues generating areas of the business and links through to the main financial objectives of the consortium.

Adventus demonstrated both a willingness to work with the management team in order to develop current thinking, but also to provide challenge to management where opportunities were under exploited. The project was effectively managed and delivered a successful result in terms of an innovative, credible and financially robust plan that was delivered on time and to budget with full sign off from management and shareholders. The project delivered all of the initial objectives agreed with the Adventus team.”
