CRUCIBLE is a strategic consultancy specialising in legal and operations, helping businesses unlock growth.

We GET HARD STUFF DONE with the people who MEAN BUSINESS

CRUCIBLE supports businesses through inflection points, whether that means scaling, stabilising or straightening out what is not working. Our work typically focuses on four areas:

FRACTIONAL LEADERSHIP

We step in as fractional General Counsel, COO, Company Secretary or Corporate Development lead. You get senior level thinking without long term overhead. We build systems, solve problems and leave you stronger than we found you.

STRATEGY THAT STICKS

Vision is one thing. Execution is another. We help clarify priorities, align leadership and build strategic roadmaps that work in the real world, not just on slides.

THE RIGHT PEOPLE, QUICKLY

When you need extra firepower, we draw on a trusted network of experts and operators. We do not believe in bloated teams. We believe in fit for purpose people who deliver.

PROJECT-BASED PROBLEM SOLVING

Sometimes you just need to get it done. We take ownership of complex, high stakes projects, delivering clarity, momentum and real results.

CRUCIBLE brings experience, urgency and clear thinking to the table without fluff, without ego and without wasting your time.

Explore CRUCIBLE

  • Are you preparing for your next stage of growth, stuck on a plateau, or facing a project-based challenge that needs solving? CRUCIBLE works with businesses navigating these moments of pressure and potential, offering clear, experienced support where it matters most.

    We recognise that your needs shift as your business evolves. That’s why we shape our approach to fit your trajectory.

    Growth stages we work with:

    • Pre-revenue

    • Early-stage

    • Growth ($5M–$20M)

    • Established ($20M–$50M)

    • Enterprise & FTSE

    Whether you’re refining governance, seeking strategic clarity, or managing complex operational change, we’re built for the heavy lift.

    Let’s sharpen the focus and unlock your next level.

  • CRUCIBLE is led by a seasoned operator who has worked at every scale—from startup to FTSE 100. We bring a mix of legal, operational, and governance firepower to your team without the cookie-cutter playbook.

    We work side by side with you—coaching, troubleshooting, and executing.

    • On day one, we might be helping you define the strategic priorities that matter.

    • By day thirty, we might be reshaping your governance, negotiating critical contracts, or guiding your board through a turning point.

    Our sweet spots:

    • Governance & compliance

    • Risk management

    • Corporate development

    • Legal operations

    • Restructuring & transformation

    We handle the strategic, and we’re not afraid of the tactical.

  • We begin with a conversation.

    We’ll ask the questions that reveal where your business is right now. Is strategy unclear? Are you firefighting more than leading? Are decisions stalling? Are your people and processes aligned with where you need to go?

    Then we’ll run a focused diagnostic covering:

    • People

    • Data

    • Processes

    • Strategy

    • Governance

    From that, we co-create a clear, actionable plan. Part roadmap. Part how-to guide. All tailored.

    That’s where the real work begins and where change starts to stick.

Who we’ve worked with.

We’d love to work with you.
