the top 2 inches - how to stay ahead

Services

  • We only ever use real examples of investments, launches, acquisitions, prices and even cock-ups on occasion by firms actually trying stuff in your market to illustrate trends and strategies. Essential thinking time nudged or provoked by real moves every week.

  • A bespoke market valuation of your firm, a tailor-made map of your competitive position and closest competitors, and call us any time for points of clarification or support. This includes the weekly intel service and is a virtual non-exec support suite.

Thinking time…

It’s such a rare commodity - the discipline to take even a few minutes out every week is necessary. Checking what you’re worth, what they’re up to, and what [it] could be costing is essential.

However you come across the guys opposite, and whether you’re planning to take the call or never take one, knowing what they’re doing (as opposed to what people say they’re doing) is vital. Sure, interviews, free lunches, and the 19th hole all play a part, but there comes a time when you simply have to look under the bonnet and check the facts.

That’s why we deliver weekly hard factual intelligence in an accessible format based on real examples of what the market is doing right now - real companies, real people, real projects.
