Who We Work With

What's Keeping You Up At Night?

A pipeline that's thinner than it should be. Margins under pressure. A bid that has to land, a new contract to mobilise, or a board that isn't pulling in one direction. These are the moments when a permanent hire is too slow and a generalist consultant is too far from the work.

Gaia Advisory gives Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors and growing SMEs direct access to directors who have sat in your seat, for a day a week, a defined interim period or an intensive workshop.

Day-rate advisors

A senior advisor alongside your leadership team for as many days as the job needs. Ideal for bid strategy, mobilising a new contract or a second opinion on a big decision.

Flexible, from one day a month

Interim directors

An experienced director who steps in and takes ownership, covering a gap, leading a turnaround or setting up a new business unit while you recruit for the long term.

Fixed term, full or part time

Workshops

Intensive two to three day sessions that train your senior team on one priority and leave you with a plan you'll actually use. Run on site or remotely.

For SMEs and Tier 1s alike
