I embed with manufacturing and B2B companies ($2M–$40M) for focused operational transformations that unlock growth capacity without adding staff, reduce founder dependency, and maximise exit value.
30 years of international operational experience. Recent result: Reduced lead times from 20 weeks to 11 days, unlocking $20M+ growth capacity.
I’m Drew Robins, and I help business owners prepare for their next stage.
Which Describes Your Situation?
Planning to Sell in the Next 12-24 Months?
You’re preparing to exit but operational gaps could cost you 20-30% of your sale price:
⇒Undocumented processes (everything in people’s heads)
⇒Business relies too heavily on you
⇒No operational metrics to prove performance
⇒Buyers will find these gaps in due diligence
→ I help you get operationally ready before you list
Hitting Capacity Constraints?
You’re leaving money on the table because operations can’t support growth:
⇒Team is maxed out, can’t take on more work
⇒Lead times are too long, losing customers
⇒Quality suffers when you push for volume
⇒Hiring more people isn’t solving the problem
→ I unlock 20-40% more capacity without adding staff
Considering Strategic Expansion?
You’re exploring a major growth move but need to validate the opportunity:
⇒New market entry (geography or sector)
⇒Franchise development (systemize for replication)
⇒Acquisition integration (bring new business in)
⇒New product/service requiring operational build-out
→ I validate the opportunity and build operational foundation
Who you're working with
30+ years inside businesses. Not advising from the outside.
I’m Drew Robins, Director of FBS Consulting. I’ve spent three decades embedded in manufacturing and B2B businesses across Australia, the UK, Europe, and Scandinavia — leading operational change alongside the people doing the work, not writing reports from a boardroom.
When you engage FBS Consulting, I’m the person who shows up. Every time. No junior consultants, no project managers, no handoffs.
The best starting point is a conversation. If there’s a fit, we’ll know quickly.
