What our clients say

Chief Executive Officer NEOS Networks (Infracapital and SSE Plc backed)

"Over a 3-4 year engagement, W&B provided us with both interim managers and seasoned professionals, enabling the successful execution of our program. Not only were they a provider of exceptional resources, but a true partner who also understood the needs of the business to achieve our strategic goals."
Serial Financial Services CEO Volopa

"I've worked with Wilton & Bain for over a decade, since my time at Aldermore Bank. They are incredibly well-networked, genuine, and a team that I trust implicitly. They were instrumental in recommending me for my role as UK Banking CEO at Revolut and more recently, they provided invaluable support in helping me build the launch team for a privately backed digital financial services business."
President EMEA Shark Ninja

“As we transformed our business at SharkNinja we needed to bring in the absolute best leaders who would then build unstoppable teams to drive our exponential growth. The Team at W&B were essential partners on this journey as they not only worked at pace to identify and deliver top-talent, but relentlessly offered candid guidance based on their vast industry knowledge.”

With tighter exit windows and multiple expansion doing less of the heavy lifting, more value must be created inside the business. This report explores why portfolio companies lose momentum, how different transformation challenges require different leadership profiles, and where a dedicated Transformation or Value Creation Leader can provide the ownership and discipline needed to turn the value creation plan into results.
