About Hennessey

Business support when performance, control or confidence needs to change.

Principal-led business support

Experienced intervention for difficult business moments.

Hennessey helps owners, boards and leadership teams understand what is going wrong, restore control and build a practical route back to performance.

The practice draws on more than 20 years of senior operational and international business leadership across manufacturing, engineering, public services and multi-site organisations. Experience spans business transformation, restructuring, operational improvement, commercial performance, leadership, organisational design and complex recovery situations across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.

Every engagement is senior-led, independent and grounded in commercial reality. We work alongside the people responsible for delivery—moving from diagnosis and immediate stabilisation through to implementation and measurable improvement.
