of private and public Our Journey : crossroads Archemys management team is a blend of private and public sector – specifically involving business turnaround and organisational transformation.
This "best of both worlds" convergence came together within the Advanced Commercialisation Group of the Local Government Association.

Andrew Grant, then Chief Executive of Aylesbury Vale Council, was leading its root and branch transformation.
David Robson, founder of Archemys, was adapting  principles of the world of private sector M&A and turnaround to Local Authorities.

A meeting of purpose and strategic execution. 

The Archemys team was joined by Mark Poppy, whose experience includes public/private partnerships and Richard Godfrey, well versed in the management of digital transformation in both private and public enterprises.

ACCELERATE BUSINESS GROWTH

In the intervening years, we’ve worked with many more Authorities and our confidence in council management remains. Obviously they may lack entrepreneurial experience, mindset and tools for the job. But most authorities are better off than they think.Given the economic pressures of recent years we’re surprised at how many Authorities simply walk away ‘leaving cash on the table’.

Of course they can certainly be more effective and efficient but we believe that they have a ‘not enough income’ problem rather than ‘too many costs’ problem.

FIND THE BURIED TREASURE

When rapidly maximising the performance of any business we measure:

  • Markets – are they in the right ones & are they full understood?
  • Assets – which hidden assets can be leveraged at low-cost?
  • Business models – these have an instant impact on performance
  • Tools – without the right tools, a gold-mine is much harder to work

Supporting Democratic Enterprise & Investment

We’ve since gone forward to build and regenerate private, public and private-public enterprises. This is encapsulated in our One80 transformation platform.

We’re presently developing principles, structures and models of private-public enterprises.

These use the most innovative private sector management and funding together with monetisation of assets (incl. unrealised) within Local Government.
