Operations, ownership and quality for businesses that have to keep delivering.
Founders, owners and boards bring us in for the work that doesn’t fix itself: making a business more efficient, getting it through a crisis, preparing it for sale or buyout, redesigning how it runs, or building it to the standard customers actually expect.
Get in touchWhat we tend to be hired for.
Business Efficiency
Find where the business is wasting time and money, then rebuild work, information and decisions around what customers actually pay for.
Turnarounds
Stabilise the business, get cash discipline back, and rebuild a plan the team, customers and lenders actually believe.
Quality Management
Design and run quality systems that hold up under audit and keep customer relationships intact. Includes consulting on AS9100, AS9110, AS9120 and ISO 9001.
AS9100 consultingManagement Buyouts
Structure, finance and execute management buyouts — for either side of the deal. Sellers preparing to exit; management teams raising the capital and shaping the buyout.
Organisational Design
Decide who’s accountable for what, who makes which calls, and how the business runs week to week — so the strategy on paper actually happens.
Startup Structures
Set up early-stage companies with the governance, controls and operating habits real customers and investors expect — well before they think to ask.
Govern the systems you’ll build next.
AI is moving from experiment to operations, and customers, regulators and boards now expect to see how you govern it. We help design, build and run an AI management system aligned to ISO 42001 — the policies, risk controls and review cadences that hold up when someone looks closely.
ISO 42001 consultingPolicy & Accountability
Decide what AI you use, where, and who’s accountable when it gets something wrong. Including how the board hears about it.
Risk & Controls
Identify and control the risks that actually matter — bias, drift, data lineage, transparency, third-party models — without grinding the work to a halt.
Audit-ready Practice
Keep the records, evidence and review habits that stand up to an ISO 42001 audit, a customer due-diligence pack, and the regulation that’s coming.
The industries we know from the inside.
Some of the people we’ve worked with.
Organisations we’ve advised on quality, operations, strategy and structure — across aerospace primes, motorsport engineering, early-stage technology, creative production, and academia.
Run by people who’ve actually run things.
Brigham Consultants is an owner-led advisory practice. We get hired when a leadership team needs someone in the room who has run a business — not just diagnosed one from the outside.
Our work spans aerospace, defence, motorsport, advanced engineering and the creative industries. The clients change; the discipline doesn’t — clear thinking, honest measurement, and a plan the team can actually execute.
Businesses of every size — from founders setting up a new company, to owners preparing for transition, to global corporations restructuring divisions and supply chains. Engagements are scoped to a result, not to a retainer.
