THE REBUILD BOARD · UK + US
There may be more value inside your business than your current numbers show.
Your business may already contain more profit, cash and enterprise value than you realize. We help you find it, decide what needs to change, and work with management to capture it.

WHY THE REBUILD BOARD
Five reasons to talk to The Rebuild Board.
Focus on the few decisions that really matter.
Convert a complex field of possibilities into a short, ranked set of management priorities.
Work directly with experienced operators.
Bring commercial, operational and financial judgement into the room – not theory from the sidelines.
Turn analysis into action.
Translate findings into clear ownership, practical workstreams and a focused 90-day mandate.
Measure what actually changed.
Set the baseline first, track progress with management and quantify the economic result.
HOW IT WORKS
Find it.
Decide.
Capture it.
A disciplined sequence designed to move from evidence to management action – and from management action to measurable economic change.
STAGE 01
DIAGNOSE
WorthArc
Examine detailed data across customers, pricing, margins, products, inventory, branches, channels and working capital.
STAGE 02
DECIDE
The Rebuild Board
Challenge findings with management and reduce them to the few priorities that matter most.
- What should change?
- What should stay?
- What should management do first?
STAGE 03
EXECUTE + MEASURE
The 90-Day Rebuild Mandate
Create a focused plan with clear ownership and accountability, review progress and measure results against the baseline.
“WorthArc identifies and quantifies where value may be trapped. The Rebuild Board decides what management should do about it.”
THE ECONOMIC CASE
Growth is not always the first answer.
Established businesses accumulate complexity. Pricing drifts. Product ranges expand. Customer economics diverge. Inventory builds. Working capital tightens. The opportunity is often already present – it is simply obscured by averages and conventional reporting.

In a business generating tens of millions in revenue, a small improvement in the right place can create a very large economic result.
THE BOARD
Three perspectives. One objective.
01
Gerald Ratner
CUSTOMER + COMMERCIAL INSTINCT
Built Ratners from 130 stores into one of the world’s largest jewellery retailers – 2,500 stores, £1.2bn in annual sales and 25,000 employees, with major operations in both the UK and the US. The group later became Signet, today the NYSE-listed Signet Jewelers. Focus on customer proposition, pricing psychology, sales, conversion, brand, retail execution and leadership under pressure.
02
Marek Niedzwiedz
VALUE CREATION + EXECUTION
UK-based entrepreneur, investor and turnaround operator with three business exits and multiple acquisitions, working across the UK, US and Europe, including the acquisition of Claire’s Poland. Focus on revenue economics, margins, inventory, working capital, operating performance, turnaround priorities, execution and M&A.
03
Mark W. Gross
FINANCE + GLOBAL STRATEGY
Around 30 years across corporate and investment banking, corporate development and global strategy, including bank CEO and senior leadership roles at Standard Chartered and American Express. Worked across 20+ countries; now Managing Director at Bentley Associates in New York. Focus on capital, M&A, strategic transactions, international expansion and board-level finance.

You do not need to be distressed. You need to believe there is meaningful value in the business that has not yet been captured.
THE OPERATING CONTEXT
The world around your business is changing.
AI and automation are changing cost structures. Customer activity is moving faster. Margin pressure persists, new competitors emerge and capital is more selective.
The answer is not to chase every new technology or management trend. It is to understand what matters to your business – and act on it.
CONFIDENTIAL REVIEW
What is your business leaving on the table?
We selectively review established businesses where there is a realistic opportunity to materially improve revenue, profit, cash or enterprise value. The first conversation is confidential, with no obligation.
