The track record behind it
Richard McMullan
Founder, Value Growth Catalyst
Author, The Business Exit Blueprint
Creator, CatalystOS™
Chair & Co-Owner, two manufacturing businesses
35+ years leading and advising complex businesses
A decade in strategy consulting, including FTSE 100 clients
Board-level operation in a £370m+ revenue business
Scaled a UK & Ireland retail business from £1.5m to £20m
135+ owners advised across 30 sectors
Outcomes from the work
CatalystOS™ is the system distilled from doing this work, in different forms, for more than three decades.
One client grew their valuation from £5m to £44m in three years and is now approaching £100m in revenue. Another exited for £11m on completion with no earn-out.
The work isn’t about chasing those numbers. It’s about building businesses that can produce them – or that can be happily owned forever or easily sold tomorrow.
