Most companies know something is off. Revenue plateaus, costs creep up, or a new market feels just out of reach. We sit with your numbers, your people, and your operations until we find the root cause. Then we build a plan you can execute without us.

Four practice areas, each staffed by people who have held the roles they now advise on.
We map your workflows from purchase order to delivery, interview the people who run them, and flag bottlenecks that cost you time or money. A typical review takes four to six weeks and produces a prioritised action list your ops team can start on immediately.
Cash flow forecasting, capital structure analysis, and pricing reviews. We work with your finance director (or act as a fractional one) to build models that answer real questions: should you lease or buy, hire or outsource, expand now or wait?
High turnover, low engagement scores, or a leadership gap after a founder steps back. We diagnose the human side of the business through structured interviews, compensation benchmarking, and management coaching programmes that run for 90 days.
Entering a new geography? Launching a second product line? We build go-to-market plans grounded in competitor data, customer research, and realistic financial projections. No slide decks full of buzzwords; you get a spreadsheet, a timeline, and a risk register.
A 45-minute call where you describe the situation in your own words. No forms, no intake questionnaires.
We spend one to two weeks inside your data, talking to key staff, and reviewing documents you already have.
You receive a written findings report with costed recommendations ranked by impact and effort.
We work alongside your team for the agreed engagement period, handling the changes together.
At 60 and 120 days we review KPIs against baseline. If something hasn't moved, we adjust the plan.
Reliable Solutions Consult started in 2014 when two former operations directors realised that most consulting advice they had received over the years was too abstract to act on. Reports gathered dust. Recommendations ignored the budget. Nobody followed up.
We built a practice around the opposite approach. Our team of seven consultants has a combined 85 years of in-house management experience across manufacturing, professional services, retail, and technology. Every project has a named lead who stays with you from kick-off to final review.
Our office sits in central Manchester, but we work with clients across the North West, the Midlands, and London. About a third of our engagements are fully remote.
Most projects fall between £8,000 and £35,000 depending on scope and duration. We quote a fixed fee after the diagnostic phase so there are no surprises. The initial discovery call is free.
Our clients range from owner-managed firms with ten employees to divisions of FTSE 250 companies. The common thread is a willingness to act on what we find, not company size.
We have deep experience in professional services, light manufacturing, e-commerce, and B2B technology. That said, about 20% of our work sits outside those verticals. Operational and financial principles transfer well across sectors.
The diagnostic phase runs one to three weeks. Implementation engagements typically last three to six months. Some clients retain us on a quarterly review basis after the main project ends.
Yes. After our initial conversation we can connect you with two or three former clients in a similar sector or situation. We ask their permission first, so allow a few days.
We measure outcomes at 60 and 120 days. If a recommendation hasn't moved the needle, we revise the approach at no extra charge within the agreed engagement period.
Describe what you are dealing with and we will reply within one working day. If a call suits you better, ring us directly.
