Carve-out of a logistics division
Separated a 1,200-person division from its parent and guided the sale to a strategic buyer in under nine months.
Context
A listed parent needed to exit a non-core division without disrupting shared operations.
Key outcomes
Separation plan agreed in ten weeks
Competitive process with four bidders
Transitional services exited on schedule
The situation
The division shared systems, people and suppliers with its parent, and any buyer would need confidence that it could stand alone from day one.
Our approach
We mapped every shared dependency, designed a transitional services agreement both sides could live with, and ran a tight, competitive sale process alongside the separation work.
The result
The sale signed within nine months of our first workshop, with transitional services fully exited on schedule and no disruption to customers.
