“We’ve achieved our original goal of planning a sensible transition for the founders, and, as part of CCD Partners’ process, we have also developed a future investment and growth strategy well beyond our original expectations. Charnwood now has highly invested and experienced figures at the helm and is set for a very bright future.”

Which path will deliver the full potential of your business?

Innovative, driven entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of the chemicals and life sciences industries. 

The decisions of when to raise capital, when to re-organise, when to bring in new management, or when to exit entirely can be extremely challenging for any business leader. For those in the fragmented and constantly evolving chemicals and life sciences industries it can be even more so.

In our "full service" we partner with founders and owners, providing industry engagement and specialist expertise to identify potential, design a strategy to maximise and capture it, and then deliver the resulting value to our clients.

We also provide standalone programmes that give founders and owners a clear view of their options and the value that might be available to them before they pull the trigger on a larger project.
Example 'full service partner' projects:

Founder transitions 

Founders can reach a point where they need to hand over to the next generation of management. This is often also a good time to reassess the ownership structure of the business. We partner with founders to find the best path for them and their business.

Divestments

 We work with owners considering a divestment of their holdings in private companies. We provide insight into the best buyers, how to strategically position the business for maximum value, and deliver processes that reliably crystalise that value.

CEO recruitment

Where owner-managers are looking to step back from day-to-day management of a business we provide suitable options, help filter and assess candidates, and design and implement an appropriate handover plan.
