Operations consulting, plainly put
Growing fast. Held back by what's underneath it.
We start by finding money you're already losing, then fix what's actually causing it.
Built for whoever actually carries the operational weight, founder, MD, or the person running their corner of something much bigger. Not always because the business has grown. Sometimes because nobody's had time to build the systems underneath it properly.
You didn’t take this on
to feel stuck in it.
Most people carrying serious operational weight hit a point where it stops feeling like progress. Not because it’s failing. Because it’s consuming everything. Sound familiar?
“Every client I’ve worked with has been in some version of this position. Smart people. Good operations. Just buried under more than the structure underneath them was ever built to carry. That’s not a character flaw, it’s a structural one.”
/ What it usually looks like
- Processes you outgrew six months ago
- Systems that don’t talk to each other (and never will, left alone)
- A team working hard. Just not always on the same thing.
- No real clarity on what to fix first
/ How Opsergo helps
What changes. Specifically.
Not theory. Not a framework borrowed from a business school textbook. This is what we’ve consistently seen shift once the right support gets involved.
Clarity on what to fix first
Most people we talk to already know something’s wrong. They just can’t see where to start. We can. (And we’ll tell you straight.)
Systems that talk to each other
Usually it’s not the tools. It’s two teams who won’t budge, negotiate or change how they work for the wider business. We sort that out first. The systems follow.
A team that pulls together
Structure matters. So does trust. We work with your people, not above them, to build something they actually believe in.
Growth that doesn’t break things
Scaling without the right foundations is just chaos at speed. We build what you need before you need it. Quietly. Properly.
Strategy you can actually use
Not a 40-slide deck. Not a list of recommendations. A clear plan, in plain English, that you can act on this week if you want to.
A partner, not a clipboard
Not a junior with a framework and a tight deadline. People who’ve actually been in the room before, and know what good looks like.
/ What we do
Five ways we work.
One goal.
Shared Savings is usually where it starts. When there’s deeper operational work to do, here’s what that looks like, five ways in, one goal: a business that doesn’t need you to hold it together.
Start here
Operational Audit
Two weeks to see what's really happening
We go deep into how your business actually runs, not how you think it runs. You get a clear picture of where the bottlenecks are, why, and what to fix first.
Fix the friction
Process Optimisation
Faster handoffs, fewer dropped balls
The manual workarounds, the double-handling, the tasks nobody owns. We find them, redesign them, and make sure the fix actually sticks.
Plan the next move
Growth Strategy
A plan you can brief your team on Monday
Not a slide deck. A 90-day operational plan, specific to your business, written in plain English. Actionable the day you receive it.
Bring the team with you
Change Management
Change that sticks, not change that scars
Changing how a business works is hard. Doing it without losing the people who make it work is harder. We manage the transition so it lands properly.
Build for what’s next
Team & Org Design
An org chart your people actually understand
The structure that got you here won’t get you there. We design the team and reporting lines for the business you’re building next.
Not sure which?
Start with Shared Savings.
It's the fastest way to see what's actually going on, and whether any of this is what you need next.
Send us your spend/ The process
Most people who reach out already know something needs to change.
Here’s what happens when you decide to do something about it.
-
1
We talk
No agenda on our side. Just an honest conversation about where you are and whether we’re the right fit. Most people find it useful even if nothing comes of it.
-
2
We diagnose
A clear picture of where the bottlenecks are, what’s working, and what to do next. In plain English. With an order of priority.
-
3
We get it done
Alongside your team. Not above them. We implement, track, adjust. We don’t disappear when it gets complicated.
/ In their words
What our clients say
“We brought Neil in for a quick-win audit expecting a list of recommendations. What we got was £50k of savings identified in the first week. It more than paid for itself before we’d even started the real work.”
“We’d been growing fast but nobody really knew who owned what. Neil gave us a clear org chart, defined roles and responsibilities properly, and helped us bring in a booking system that actually works. We finally feel like a business that can scale.”
“Neil helped me and the rest of the directors finally see the business clearly. We knew things weren’t running as well as they should — we just couldn’t agree on where to start. Neil came in as fractional Operations Director, cut through it, and got the whole leadership team aligned. We started with strategy, moved into execution, and he’s still working with us today.”

Founder, Opsergo
Opsergo exists because good businesses keep tripping over problems that aren’t actually that hard to fix. We just need to say it plainly, then help put it right.
