WHO WE WORK WITH

FEC works with established companies and the people responsible for what they become.

That responsibility may sit with the investors, the owners, the board or the managers who run the company. Whoever brings FEC in, the work is about what the company needs to become next.

Where FEC is brought in from

Private Equity

WHERE YOU SIT
You have put money into the company, but the work is done inside a business you do not run day to day.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Whether the company you invested in can deliver the plan, and what inside it could stop that from happening.
BRING FEC IN WHEN
Before a big new project, putting in more money, or stepping in to change things, when you need evidence from inside the company before you decide what comes next.

Holding Companies

WHERE YOU SIT
You watch over several companies from the group that owns them, without being inside each business every day.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Which company needs attention, what is holding it back, and what must change before the group asks more of it.
BRING FEC IN WHEN
A company in the group is entering a new stage, keeps falling short, or cannot yet do something the group now needs.

Owners & Boards

WHERE YOU SIT
You set the direction and watch over the people who run the company. You still answer for what it becomes, without running it day to day.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Whether the company and its managers can achieve what you are aiming for, and where the business still depends too much on someone or something, or is weak or incomplete.
BRING FEC IN WHEN
Before major growth, handing over to the next leaders, a change of leadership, or another big move where you can no longer simply assume the company is ready.

Operating Companies & Management Teams

WHERE YOU SIT
You run the company. You have to keep today’s business running while building what comes next.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
What must change first, what must be built, and how to do it without disrupting the business already running.
BRING FEC IN WHEN
The next stage needs abilities, systems, a new way of organising teams and managers, or ways of working the company does not have yet.

What does this company need to become?

See how FEC works

When the next stage requires more from the company.

Nothing has to be wrong. A strong company can be ready for today and still need to change for what comes next.

    • Entering another market
    • Greatly increasing how much the company can produce or handle
    • Handling much more work every day
    • Bringing a company it has bought into the business
    • Building a new part of the business
    • Building the ability to do something the company cannot do yet
    • Changing who decides what, or how teams and managers are organised
    • Redesigning how work passes from one person or team to the next
    • Building the systems, rules and checks the next stage needs
    • Reducing dependence on a founder or key people
    • Replacing unwritten habits with clear roles, rules and steps
    • Fixing the same weaknesses that keep limiting the company
Much more work flows through the same company, and one point gets overloaded.

The work does not have to stop once FEC has given its judgment.

Where the company agrees, FEC can go on to make the agreed changes and build what the next stage needs, then check that the new way of working does its job.

THE AGREED WORK

COMPANY AUTHORITYThe company keeps the final decision and stays in charge from start to finish.

QUESTIONS

FEC works with established companies at consequential moments: growth, change or transition, when carrying out the plan may mean changing the company itself.

03Can FEC work across a group of companies?
Yes. FEC can work with the group, inside one company or across several, to find out whether each can deliver what the group needs next, and build what is missing.
04We are the owners or the board. How does FEC help?
FEC finds out whether the company and its managers can deliver what you want for it and, where the company agrees, works with it to change and build what it needs.
05Where does FEC work?
FEC is based in Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates, and works with companies across the GCC and in the United States. Its published cases include work in the Gulf region and in Europe.
