Case studies

Results that speak.

A selection of client engagements and the measurable outcomes we delivered together.

Operations—Freight & Distribution

Logistics Company

Cut operational overhead by 34% in six months.

The challenge

We had grown rapidly through acquisition but was running three separate dispatch systems with no unified view of capacity or cost. Margins were eroding despite strong revenue.

Our approach

We mapped every operational workflow end-to-end, identified the three highest-cost friction points, and designed a consolidated operating model. We then managed the transition alongside the internal team.

"Amber Assembly didn't just produce a report — they stayed in the room until it was done."

Strategy—Professional Services

Advisory

Tripled recurring revenue in under two years.

The challenge

A boutique M&A advisory firm with strong deal flow but no repeatable service model. Revenue was project-by-project, making forecasting and hiring nearly impossible.

Our approach

We worked with the founding partners to define a tiered retainer model, repositioned the firm's offer around a specific client profile, and built the internal systems to support predictable delivery.

"They understood our business faster than anyone we'd worked with before. The clarity they brought was transformative."

Business Planning—FMCG

Consumer Brands Company

Secured £4M Series A with a plan investors trusted.

The challenge

We had a strong product-market fit but a business plan that didn't reflect the operational reality of scaling. Two previous funding rounds had stalled at due diligence.

Our approach

We rebuilt the financial model from the ground up, stress-tested every assumption against comparable market data, and restructured the narrative to address the specific concerns institutional investors raise at Series A.

"We'd been trying to raise for 18 months. Amber Assembly helped us understand why — and fix it."
