Where we work
Seven sectors, each with its own binding constraint.
A greenhouse fails differently from a bank. Each page below sets out the operating context, the common problems, the practices most often engaged and the named clients we can point to — written for that sector, not copied between them.

Start with the sector, and the constraint that defines it.
Every tile links to a page written for that sector alone: what is different about operating in it, and the practices that answer it. 40 of our 45 named clients sit in these seven; the remaining five are health and civil society organizations, listed in full on the clients page.
All seven sectors- Agribusiness & food01Agriculture, livestock, poultry and food processingAgribusiness here turns on yield, cold chain, market access and finance, and on whether a facility can be operated once it is built. We work across the value chain and into the physical installation.Common workValue chain analysisGreenhouse design and installationAccess to financeNamed clientsBeder Dairy & Meat · OOG Mixed Farm · DITCO Foods3named clients

How the two fit together
