Built to be the partner we wished we'd had inside our own carve-outs.
Manchester, UK
Axalt was founded in 2012 to fix a problem its founders kept meeting inside complex IT transformations: the resourcing partners didn't understand the programme, and the programme partners didn't have the resourcing depth.
We built one firm to do both. People Services places the senior consultants and specialist resource that PE carve-outs and enterprise transformations actually need. Tech Services builds the software those programmes depend on — and the products the operating companies need to grow afterwards.
Today, we run multi-year engagements for KKR portfolio companies, FMCG carve-outs, and operating companies who choose us to be a long-term partner rather than a one-off supplier.
Four values, expressed as behaviours.
We tried writing values as nouns once. It didn't help anyone. These are the four behaviours our clients can hold us to.
We say no to the wrong fit.
If we don't have the right consultants in the network, or the right engineers in the studio, we tell you on the first call. We have lost work this way. We've kept the right clients because of it.
We own the relationship past placement.
Once a consultant is deployed, the relationship with Axalt continues. If the role isn't working, we swap the person. The client doesn't have to push.
We write specifically about what we did.
Every case study is signed off by the client. Every claim on this site is something we can defend in a reference call. We don't talk about programmes we didn't run.
We pick our partners and stay with them.
The Edge Picture Company for training. Specialist engineering partners for industrial automation. Long-term, named, accountable. Not a "vendor ecosystem".
The people accountable for your engagement.
Senior leaders stay involved across every engagement. You'll meet most of us inside the first two weeks.
