Turning business ambition into growth

We knew the business had growth potential, but we needed a clear plan that joined up customers, channels, products, operations and finance.

Breathe reviewed the commercial and operational reality, identified the key growth levers, and delivered a practical 10-point revenue growth improvement plan.

Building a customer-led strategy

We had good products, but we needed a sharper route-to-market plan.

Breathe used customer, market and channel insight to build a clearer plan, resulting in 15% revenue growth by focusing sales through Amazon.

Prioritising the right opportunities

We had too many ideas and not enough certainty about which ones would create real value.

Breathe compared the options by revenue potential, margin, cost, risk and delivery complexity, then created a plan that positively impacted revenue and margin.

Improving profitability

Sales were moving, but margin pressure, complexity and cost were stopping the business from becoming more profitable.

Breathe connected the commercial plan to the operating model, using product value optimisation and supply-chain optimisation to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Making innovation commercial

Innovation was taking too long, costing too much and not always landing with customers.

Breathe created and implemented a fast-track innovation stage-and-gate process, reducing time to market and allowing key product launches to be delivered within the year.

Delivering transformation

The strategy made sense, but we needed the structure, focus and delivery support to make it happen.

Breathe turned the strategy into clear workstreams, owners, milestones and governance, helping the leadership team move from ambition to delivery.

Assessing M&A and new business options

We could see a possible acquisition, but needed a clear commercial case before committing and a project manager to deliver it.

Breathe created an honest, objective commercial business case, then project managed the due diligence and competitive bid for the acquisition.

Turning sustainability into business advantage

We were treating sustainability, energy and electrification as separate projects rather than part of the growth and resilience plan.

Breathe connected strategy, operations, solar and EV charging together, creating a plan that increased footfall, lowered costs and improved site resilience.
