Featured case study

Helping an Edinburgh engineering firm turn fast growth into a clear plan

After doubling its headcount in three years, Kelvane needed sharper positioning, tighter internal processes and a strategy everyone understood.

Over ten weeks we worked with the leadership team to find the biggest opportunities and build a practical roadmap for the next stage.

The challenge

Fast growth had left blurred priorities, patchy processes and three teams selling in three different ways.

“Drummard gave us the clarity we were missing. The plan was practical, focused and useful to our board from the first week.”

Frequently asked questions

A few things you might want to ask

Still have questions?

Talk directly to Fraser, our founder, about your business, your challenges and what help might make sense.

What types of businesses do you work with?

Mostly owner-managed and investor-backed firms across Scotland with 20 to 250 staff, facing strategic, operational or growth questions.

What does an engagement usually look like?

Each one is shaped to the business, but most start with a two-week discovery, followed by a clear strategy and practical recommendations.

How long does a typical project take?

Most projects run for four to twelve weeks, depending on the scope and how complex it is.

Do you help with implementation too?

Yes. Some clients want a clear plan to run with; others want us alongside them for a few months while it is delivered.

How much does consulting cost?

Most projects are agreed at a fixed fee, typically £8,000 to £30,000 plus VAT. After a first conversation we recommend the right scope.
