Our approach
Our approach is not an academic one – we offer executable retail concepts and solutions derived from practice. The partners of Foley Retail Consulting encompass over 135 years of individual retail experience. The feedback and results of our clients confirm the trust that is placed in our work’s quality and value.
The ability to actually implement our advice sets us apart from traditional management consultancies. We have the courage of our convictions to stay with the client and see the advice through the implementation stage to a successful conclusion. For an ambitious retailer this is a strategic step to obtain a market leader position.
Our mission
Our clients may be classical store chains, internet-only organisations or multi-channel operators, we provide strategic advice and guidance based on three principles:
- All recommendations are grounded on a thorough analysis of our clients’ situation.
- Advice is always pragmatic and can be explained to the entire client organisation.
- We offer to accompany our clients through the implementation phase.
Our client base consists of retailers from various business segments or investors who are:
- in a turn around situation
- in a start-up or significant growth phase
- looking for value creation understanding
- FMCG businesses who want a route to market
- wanting commercial due diligence
- companies lacking internal resources to execute new projects/ideas
Over the years a significant data-base of best practice models in most retail situations has been put together, coupled with the experience of the FRC Senior partners who all have “hands on”experience. The cross fertilisation of ideas and practices from different retail and FMCG industries means Foley Retail Consulting brings innovative solutions, often overseen by overloaded management with critical operational daily tasks consuming their time.
