All support provided is entirely bespoke to your needs so get in touch and we will put together the package required to deliver your objectives.
How a £50m+ European brand restructured their UK business
YF worked with a European brand to transform their business in the UK from a distributor operating model to in-house operating model. This started with an intensive risk and discovery exercise to establish a project plan. Thereafter the Client extended YF’s engagement to bring the plan to life over a 6 month basis and then ongoing post-launch.
YF managed a total international project team of 9 across technical, technology, commercial, supply chain & marketing.
YF also managed retailer relationships and any third parties.
Due to limited team capacity, in addition to project management, YF was engaged to deliver key projects:
- Establishing a direct UK supply chain including technology
- Customs infrastructure setup
- Local entity and registrations
- Recruitment of full UK team
Outcome
The outcome was a successful and smooth transition, new supply chain setup below budget, significant EBIT improvements, newly formed UK team of 4 people (reporting into the Country Manager) and a smooth ongoing relationship.
