Unlocking value growth progress through innovation in FMCG
YF is a consultancy designed to help innovative, high-growth consumer businesses achieve mainstream scale.
Using our unique position within the FMCG market, YF provides advice and a wide range of services to retailers, investors and the brands themselves.
Untapped potential
The FMCG market has vast untapped potential. Consumers are seeing newness and inspiration yet amongst the top 100 UK grocery brands, not a single one is under 20 years old. The industry is not maximising value from our world-leading branded innovation pipeline. YF exists to change that.
Accelerating and scaling
We inject an innovation-first mindset across FMCG. We collaborate with retailers and investors to make it easier for them to identify and commercialise high potential brands. This enables us to provide the highest quality advisory and support services to brands to accelerate their journey to mainstream scale.
