Sectors
BGC is happy to assist businesses in any sector, Matt has particularly deep knowledge of the following sectors:
Manufacturing & Engineering
An equal number of opportunities (Automation, Robotisation, Smart Factory, …) and challenges (Decarbonisation, Obsolescence, shorter product life cycles, …) are disrupting the industrial landscape. To remain competitive, survive and ultimately thrive, businesses must accelerate their transformation at ever-faster rates, leveraging new technologies, business models and working practices.
Media
One of the fastest changing sectors with digital technologies disrupting the channels used by businesses to interact with their audiences and business models. Managing the transition and co-habitation of conventional and new media is extremely delicate. Big data is now central to understanding, as well as forecasting and managing businesses’ activities.
Private Equity
PE clients have specific considerations and needs that need to be fully understood and appreciated by their business partners, namely investment horizons and having a clear exit strategy. There is an urgency to creating value through growth, asset and operational optimisation, and of course true of all businesses, but especially for Private Equity portfolio companies – “Cash is King”.

Businesses
All types of business would benefit from BGC’s services, the following may particularly benefit:
Start-ups and small corporates
You could be looking for access to expertise, skills and experience that you can’t afford to bring in full-time. Or, you may need help in establishing a robust business plan, Key performance indicators and cash-management processes, to drive your business forward, reduce business risk or secure funding. Bringing in an independent expert on a part-time basis can release your management’s time, allowing them to focus on developing the business.
International businesses
It can be particularly challenging operating across different jurisdictions with specific accounting, tax, regulatory and legal requirements, as well as different working practices, cultures and language barriers. You would likely benefit from a partner with experience of UK, North American and European work environments and cultures, with technical knowledge of these jurisdictions, accompanying you across territories.
