The UK SME specialist B2B Manufacturing market consists of many successful but often regionally focused, well-established, owner-managed businesses. Those with superior financial performance in the sector are generally characterised by a strong focus on customer service and a specific manufacturing or technical expertise, helping to create a strong competitive advantage.
Many of these SME B2B manufacturing businesses are characterised by strong recurring revenue streams with a high repeat order base across multiple industrial sectors. These factors also combine to help create strong barriers to entry and a relatively low customer ‘churn’ with a well-distributed commercial risk.
By deploying its internal experienced business improvement teams, Amcomri has a strong track record in supporting its B2B manufacturing businesses progressively improve their baseline financial performance.
Our Group team operates on a collaborative’ coaching’ basis providing both guidance and practical hands-on support to coach our companies in systematic production, supply chain and financial systems improvement. Structured implementation of this approach is used to drive incremental profitability, working capital and organic growth opportunities within our B2B manufacturing operating companies.
