Sureserve
A strategy that moves from steady growth to transformative value creation
The Challenge
In 2022, Sureserve had just appointed a new Chairman and CEO. They came to Cognosis with a simple question...
“How do we shift gear from steady growth to transformative value creation?”
The project mission was daunting. How to build a credible business strategy that will unite the board, energise the business, excite investors and provide Sureserve with a path to treble business value – in five years.
Sureserve consisted of nine different subsidiaries including Gas Maintenance, Energy Metering, Water Services, Lift Services and Fire Safety. The business lacked a coherent strategy, struggled to find synergies across its diverse portfolio, and had no clear purpose or direction. Compounding this challenge was Sureserve’s initial concern about working with external consultants.
We set out to devise a strategy for Sureserve that would deliver improved CAGR and profit margin percentages and treble their value within 5 years.
