Value Step Ltd Information

Value Step Limited is a specialist strategic advisory firm co-founded by Robert Osborne and James Leng — combining over 70 years of C-suite leadership, board governance, and hands-on execution across private and public sector environments. A ValueStep is a critical increase in organisational value — the moment when a business secures investment, wins a major contract, restructures its leadership, or completes a sale or acquisition. Our job is to help you reach that point. We work with organisations at critical decision points: where performance is under pressure, direction is unclear, and outcomes carry real commercial weight. Working directly with boards, CEOs, founders, and senior leadership teams, we stabilise performance, restore control, and define clear strategic direction. We are not traditional consultants. We put our own time and capital on the table — taking a real share of risk and reward, aligned directly with client outcomes. Track record: • Turnaround of a UK engineering business, restoring profitability and sustainable growth • Recovery of a £6M engineering company during global market disruption • Transformation of a global automotive business to sixfold revenue growth and 25% EBITDA • Founding, scaling, and sale of a consultancy for $16M • Negotiation of a £5B clinical services contract, delivering £50M savings • Strategic reviews of multi-billion-pound NHS programmes We work with SMEs with £10M–£100M turnover — privately owned, founder-led, PE-backed, or corporate divisions — across engineering, manufacturing, industrial services, automotive, and public-sector delivery. We are a team that has operated in the trenches - shoulder to shoulder - tackling business critical decisions in real-time. Our approach is truthful, courageous and timely risk mitigation for best outcome. In todays uncertain world, we thrive delivery against the odds for our clients. valuestep.co.uk
