Founder, FORGE
In Felicity’s words
“I am not there to know more than every specialist. I am there to see the commercial picture across disciplines, ask the questions that expose what matters, and work out what is genuinely worth doing.”
Selected work
01 · Property & assets
Felicity has taken property projects from the initial opportunity through planning, cost modelling, development and interiors. The work connects what an asset could become with the economics and practical decisions needed to get it there.
Opportunity assessment, development appraisal and hands-on project delivery.
02 · An established contracting business
A Diagnostic became a deeper business Review, a new commercial plan and a bespoke Command Centre. The system is live with real project and commercial records, colleague access and order creation in use.
A substantive business plan and a working operational system.
Inside the case ↗03 · A relationship-led transaction
An originated opportunity needed both a tested commercial proposition and a clear position for its originator. The Diagnostic set out the evidence, counterparties and commercial arrangements needed before onward introductions.
A clearer basis for the next investigation and the sequencing of introductions.
