NAthan wanted clarity before taking the leap into Ethiopia.

We worked closely with Nathan to deliver a tailored feasibility memo within days, highlighting regional risks, regulatory signals, and partnership constraints. It helped his team make an informed call — and approach donors with confidence.

Sophie NEEDED TO SCALE WITHOUT COMPROMISING Her BRAND’S VALUES.

As founder of a fast-growing maternity wear label in the UK, Sophie was ready to move production abroad — but wasn’t willing to sacrifice quality or ethics in the process. Her brand had built a loyal customer base around durable, responsibly-made garments. Rising costs in the UK and EU had created pressure to relocate production, but she needed clarity: could a country like Vietnam deliver the same high standards at a lower cost?

To support her decision-making, we delivered a tailored report that mapped out supplier capabilities, sustainable material access, labour compliance, and long-term cost competitiveness. The insights helped Sophie move forward confidently — scaling her operations without compromising the values at the heart of her brand.
