Mining & Industrial Business Advisory
Big opportunities demand a business built to handle them.
Mining services and industrial businesses operate in an environment where growth can happen quickly. A major contract. A new customer. Expansion into another region. Investment in people, equipment or capability.
The opportunity can be significant, but so can the pressure it puts on the business.
Morgan Shaw Advisory works alongside mining services, industrial and engineering businesses to strengthen performance, improve management capability and create the structure needed for sustainable growth.
We help owners and leadership teams make better strategic decisions today while creating a stronger, more valuable business for the future.
Bigger contracts.
Bigger considerations.
Winning a major customer or contract can transform a business.
It can also create concentration, require significant investment, stretch management capability and place new demands on people, systems and working capital.
As the business grows, the decisions become bigger too.
Where should you invest? Which opportunities should you pursue? Is the business too reliant on particular customers? Does the leadership team have the capability for the next stage?
Good growth isn't simply about winning more. It's about making sure the business gets stronger because of it.
Our Positive Impact"I’ll never forget the day I began partnering with MSA. I had access to the thought leadership I needed to get the value my business deserved. I’m not just getting by anymore, I’m building towards something stronger."
Turn opportunity into a stronger business.
Know where to focus.
MSA looks across the business strategy, customers, sales, operations, people and financial performance to understand what's driving performance and where risk or opportunity exists.
That might mean addressing customer concentration, improving operational performance, strengthening management capability, reviewing systems and processes or determining where future growth should come from.
From there, we establish clear priorities and a practical roadmap around what matters most.
Make the big decisions with a clear view of the whole business.
1.
Put the Business Behind the Strategy.
A growth strategy needs the organisation behind it.
The right people. Clear accountability. Strong systems. Operational capability. And a leadership team that can execute without everything coming back to the owner.
MSA translates strategic priorities into focused 90-day actions, with clear ownership and accountability across the leadership team.
We then walk alongside the business to keep those priorities moving.
Strategy sets the direction. Capability makes it possible.
2.
When one customer matters too much.
Major customers can create extraordinary growth.
They can also create significant risk.
MSA helps leadership teams understand customer concentration in the context of the broader business and consider how growth, business development and customer strategy can create a more resilient revenue base over time.
Protect the relationships that matter. Reduce the reliance that doesn't.
Stronger businesses create greater value.
Sustainable earnings. Customer diversity. Strong management. Reliable systems. Operational capability. Reduced key-person dependency.
These characteristics make an industrial business stronger today and can significantly influence its long-term value.
MSA brings the perspective of an M&A adviser and looks at businesses through “buyer’s eyes”, identifying risks and opportunities to strengthen value whether or not a transaction is currently being considered.
Strengthen the fundamentals now. Create more options later.
Strategy you can see in the numbers.
A strategic plan means very little if nothing changes in the business.
MSA combines strategic thinking with practical execution working alongside owners and leadership teams to establish priorities, implement 90-day actions and maintain accountability.
